DMC-805X 10G CX4 to 10G SFP+ Media Converter

The  DMC-805X  10G  CX4  to  10G  SFP+  Media  Converter  converts  10G  CX4  signals  to  10G  SFP+  fiber 

signals. The DMC-805X comes with an SFP+ slot for user-selectable fiber transceivers and extends the 

network  connection  to  various  lengths  depending  on  SFP+  transceiver  capability.  The  DMC-805X  is  a  

high-performance 10G media converter which provides flexible distance extension for servers equipped 

with CX4 NICs or older 10G switches with 10G CX4 ports.

The DMC-805X can be used as a standalone converter or installed in a standard rack-mount chassis 

(DMC-1000). A management option is available for the DMC-805X installed in a chassis (DMC-1000). The 

management module (DMC-1002) lets users monitor in real-time the status of the DMC-805X and power 

supplies in the chassis. It also sends out alarms to alert users of abnormal situations. The management 

module

 

follows industry standards, including SNMP and HTTP, allowing users to monitor and manage the 

chassis from a third-party SNMP management workstation or via a web browser.
