10G X2 to SFP+ Converter Adapter 10Gb/s XAUI DOM X2 MSA Compliant

Model: LNK-X2-SFP10G-CVR

 Product Description & Overview

The 10G X2 to SFP+ Converter provides a critical solution for network infrastructure compatibility,

enabling seamless connection between 10 Gigabit Ethernet X2 ports and SFP+ optical transceiver

modules. This high-performance converter module allows organizations to utilize modern SFP+

optics within existing switches equipped with legacy X2 interface ports, effectively bridging the

gap between different optical form factors without requiring costly hardware upgrades or replacements.

By converting X2 interfaces to SFP+, this device delivers exceptional flexibility in network design and

component selection, helping to protect prior investments in switching equipment while enabling

access to a broader range of optical transceivers.

Engineered for reliable operation in data center and enterprise network environments, this

converter maintains full 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance with minimal latency and signal loss.

The compact, hot-swappable design ensures easy installation and integration into existing network

racks, while advanced signal integrity technology guarantees stable data transmission across various

fiber types and distances. This solution is particularly valuable when specific interface types are

unavailable in a particular form factor or when network administrators seek to standardize optics

across multiple platforms for simplified inventory management and maintenance.

This versatile converter module supports various network deployment scenarios, including data

center interconnects, server farm connectivity, and high-speed backbone networks. It enables

organizations to extend the lifecycle of their existing X2-based switches by allowing them to

leverage the cost-effectiveness and wide availability of SFP+ optics. By providing this critical

interoperability, the 10G X2 to SFP+ Converter helps optimize network infrastructure investments

while ensuring compatibility with evolving network standards and technologies, making it an

essential tool for network engineers managing multi-vendor environments and legacy equipment

transitions.
