SPH-16 is a simple, smart and powerful patching hub that converts Ethernet copper ports to SFP sockets.
The device can connect to any RJ-45 compatible switch and supports RAD’s System on an SFP family of products,
MiRICi and MiTOP. It also supports standard SFP devices from any other vendor.
SPH-16 can also be used as an Ethernet copper-to-fiber converter, with various fiber optic media, to extend the distance of Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet networks.
The device supports hot-swappable SFPs working at 100 Mbps and 1000 Mbps, as well as Ethernet copper ports working at 100 Mbps and 1000 Mbps. It also supports hot-swappable AC and DC power supplies. Auto-discovery of Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) or Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) is supported.
SPH-16 provides a flexible lower-cost alternative to being locked into purchasing expensive dedicated SFPs.
