Port Specifications

The MMC10GSP/SP Media Converter allows enterprises to connect fiber 
networks to fiber networks, offering a cost-effective method for integrating 
fiber-optic cabling into 1Gbps SFP or 10Gbps SFP+. See Table 1 for the 
port specifications of the MMC10GSP/SP Media Converter.

The MMC10GT/SP Media Converter allows enterprises to connect copper 
networks to fiber networks, offering a cost-effective method for integrating 
fiber optic cabling into an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) environment. See 
Table 2 for the port specifications of the MMC10GT/SP Media Converter.
