Product Overview
The OPTONE 10-Port Gigabit Ethernet Fiber Switch (OPT-2810) is a high-performance, unmanaged network switch designed to seamlessly bridge standard copper networking with long-distance fiber optic connections. Equipped with two 10/100/1000Base-TX RJ45 ports and eight 1000Base-FX SFP slots, it provides exceptional flexibility for fiber aggregation in enterprise networks, IP surveillance systems, and FTTx deployments.
Engineered for high stability and reliability, the OPT-2810 features a robust 32Gbps backplane bandwidth and an 8K MAC address table to ensure non-blocking, wire-speed data transmission. Fully compliant with IEEE 802.3 standards, this plug-and-play switch automatically negotiates port speeds and duplex modes, eliminating the need for complex software configuration. With a wide operating temperature range and durable metal housing, it guarantees uninterrupted performance in demanding networking environments.
Key Features & Benefits
High-Density Port Configuration: Features 8 x Gigabit SFP slots and 2 x Gigabit RJ45 ports, perfect for converging multiple fiber links into a central server or core switch.
Flexible Fiber Extension: The open SFP architecture supports a wide range of 1000BASE-SX/LX mini-GBIC modules, allowing transmission distances from 500m (Multi-mode) up to 120km (Single-mode).
Non-Blocking Gigabit Performance: Built with a 32Gbps backplane bandwidth and < 5μs switching delay, ensuring smooth, packet-loss-free transmission for high-definition IP cameras and heavy data traffic.
Plug-and-Play & Auto-Negotiation: Unmanaged design requires zero configuration. Supports auto MDI/MDI-X crossover and auto-sensing 10/100/1000Mbps speeds with Full/Half Duplex detection.
Comprehensive IEEE Compliance: Fully supports IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3ab, 802.3z, and 802.3x flow control for reliable network integration.
Rugged & Reliable Design: Housed in a compact, rugged metal enclosure with dynamic LED indicators, operating reliably in temperatures from -10°C to 70°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Is the OPT-2810 a managed or unmanaged switch?
The OPT-2810 is an unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switch. It features true plug-and-play functionality, meaning it requires no software configuration, IP setup, or web management interface to operate.
Q2: Can I use third-party standard SFP modules with this switch?
Yes! The 8 SFP slots on the OPT-2810 support standard MSA-compliant 1000BASE-SX and 1000BASE-LX SFP transceivers. However, we highly recommend using OPTONE SFP modules (such as the SFP-SX-MM-0205 or SFP-LX-SM-0220) to guarantee 100% compatibility and optimal performance.
Q3: What is the primary application for an 8-port SFP switch?
This “8 Fiber + 2 Copper” configuration is highly popular in IP security surveillance networks and FTTB (Fiber to the Building) applications. It acts as an aggregation node, collecting data from up to 8 distant fiber links (e.g., remote IP cameras connected via media converters) and feeding that traffic into an NVR or core network router via the Gigabit RJ45 copper ports.
