HPE Aruba AP-MC-SFP - Media converter module

The HPE Aruba AP-MC-SFP media converter connects fiber uplinks to copper Ethernet infrastructure. This external adapter bridges different physical connection types in network environments. It converts an optical signal to an Ethernet output, allowing fiber integration in areas that require standard cabling. It supports data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s to maintain Gigabit performance across the link, allowing administrators to manage mixed-cable requirements without deploying additional switching equipment.

The unit is compatible with specific HPE Aruba WLAN access points and complies with IEEE 802.3 protocols to ensure reliable data transmission. A built-in DC input jack provides power when connected to compatible hardware. This component is used to provide connectivity where optical lines terminate near devices that lack fiber inputs, bridging the upstream source to local network hardware.
