The Industrial SFP/SFP is a pure mode converter that converts any fiber 
optics type to any other fiber optics type.  This product is a Protocol 
independent converter and is not intended for applications that require 
retiming or any Layer 2 functions.  The Industrial SFP/SFP supports 
extended temperature operation.  

The Industrial SFP/SFP requires two small form-factor (SFP) modules (sold 
separately), which provide greater fiber flexibility in the network environment.  
The hot-swappable nature of the SFPs and the numerous fiber modes and 
types available in SFPs allow for easy configuration and future upgrading as 
network demands evolve.  The SFP modules must be MSA compliant and 
support the same speed range. 

The Industrial SFP/SFP operates as a mode converter only and not as a rate 
converter. 

The Industrial SFP/SFP does not provide support for copper (TX) SFPs. 

 
2.1 Features 
The Industrial SFP/SFP provides the ability to change optical transport 
characteristics using easy-to-install SFP devices.  This mix-and-match 
functionality is only limited by the available Black Box SFP units.  For more
