UF-MC2.5G 2.5G Ethernet to Fiber Media Converter
Product Description
The UF-MC2.5G 2.5G Ethernet to Fiber Media Converter converts Ethernet signals between a 100M/1G/2.5G RJ45 copper interface and a 1G/2.5G SFP fiber interface. It provides a flexible solution for extending multi-gigabit Ethernet connectivity over fiber-optic networks.
Equipped with one 2.5G/1G/100M RJ45 port and one 1G/2.5G SFP slot, the UF-MC2.5G supports flexible network deployment through a DIP switch that selects the operating mode. In 2.5G mode, the copper port supports 100M/1G/2.5G auto-negotiation while the fiber interface operates at 2.5G. In 1G mode, both interfaces operate at 1G.
The SFP slot allows users to select compatible single-mode or multimode optical transceivers, including supported single-fiber or dual-fiber options. This makes the converter suitable for a variety of fiber-link requirements. The device can also be used with compatible 2.5G/1G GPON, EPON, or XPON SFP ONU sticks, subject to module compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 2.5G Ethernet media converter?
A 2.5G Ethernet media converter connects copper Ethernet equipment to a fiber-optic network by converting electrical Ethernet signals to optical signals through an SFP interface.
Does the UF-MC2.5G support both 1G and 2.5G fiber connections?
Yes. The DIP switch selects either 1G mode or 2.5G mode. In 2.5G mode, the RJ45 port supports 100M/1G/2.5G auto-negotiation while the fiber interface operates at 2.5G. In 1G mode, both interfaces operate at 1G.
Can I choose single-mode or multimode fiber?
Yes. The SFP slot supports compatible single-mode or multimode transceivers. The required fiber type, connector, wavelength, and transmission distance depend on the selected SFP module.
Can the converter work with a GPON or EPON ONU stick?
It can be used with compatible GPON/EPON/XPON SFP ONU sticks. Compatibility depends on the ONU stick model, operating mode, and network configuration, so verify compatibility before ordering.
Is the SFP module included?
The SFP module is purchased separately, allowing users to select a compatible transceiver for their intended fiber link.
