Huijue Switch Fiber Port to Gigabit Ethernet Conversion

You can convert a Huijue switch fiber port to a Gigabit Ethernet connection using either a copper SFP module or a dedicated fiber-to-Ethernet media converter.Using SFP Modules

Many Huijue switches feature SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) ports, which are modular and can accept either fiber or copper transceivers . To convert a fiber port to standard RJ45 Ethernet:

• Copper SFP Module (RJ45 SFP): Insert a copper SFP module into the SFP slot. This module converts the SFP port into a standard Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 interface, supporting distances up to 100 meters over CAT5e/CAT6 cables .
• Compatibility: Ensure the SFP module is compatible with your Huijue switch model. Some switches require vendor-approved modules for proper operation.

Using Media Converters

If the switch does not support copper SFP modules or you prefer a standalone solution, a fiber-to-Ethernet media converter can be used :

• Fiber Input: Connect the fiber cable from the Huijue switch to the media converter's fiber port.
• Ethernet Output: Connect the converter's RJ45 port to your Ethernet device.
• Distance and Type: Choose a converter that matches your fiber type (single-mode or multimode) and supports the required distance. For example, multimode fiber converters typically support 300 meters, while single-mode can reach several kilometers .
• Plug-and-Play: Most media converters are plug-and-play, requiring no configuration, making them ideal for quick deployment.

Practical Considerations

• Port Speed: Ensure the SFP module or media converter supports Gigabit speeds to match your network requirements.
• Power over Ethernet (PoE): If your Ethernet device requires PoE, select a media converter or switch module that supports PoE passthrough.
• Network Management: Managed switches may allow configuration of the SFP port for VLANs or link aggregation, while unmanaged setups are simpler but less flexible . By using either a copper SFP module or a fiber-to-Ethernet media converter, you can effectively convert a Huijue switch fiber port into a standard Gigabit Ethernet connection, enabling seamless integration with RJ45 devices.
