Is there any device that converts a fiber optic signal to a 10G Base-T signal?

Hi

I am looking for a device or chip that is capable of converting a fiber optic signal to a 10G Base-T signal. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Hi @Finees,

Thank you for posting in Intel Ethernet Communities.

Intel does not manufacture a dedicated device specifically designed to convert a fiber optic signal to a 10GBASE-T (10 Gigabit Ethernet over twisted pair copper) signal. However, it's worth noting that Intel produces a range of network interface controllers (NICs) and network adapters that support different types of Ethernet connections, including fiber optic and copper-based connections.

You may want to consider the latest Intel 800 Series Network Adapters: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/details/ethernet/800-network-adapters.html

To convert a fiber optic signal to a 10GBASE-T signal, you would typically need a media converter or a switch with built-in media conversion capabilities. Media converters are devices that can convert signals from one transmission medium (such as fiber optic) to another (such as copper), such as:

TP-Link MC220L

Cisco SFP-10G-T-S

Black Box LGC5183-M2

While Intel may not offer a dedicated media converter for this specific conversion, there are other vendors in the market that provide media converters capable of converting fiber optic signals to 10GBASE-T. It's advisable to explore options from different networking equipment manufacturers or consult with a network infrastructure specialist to find a suitable solution for your specific requirements.

Please let me know if I can be of any assistance.
