Convertisseur ou switch : comment être sûr de mon choix ?

Si vous reliez une zone à une zone avec 1–4 appareils côté arrivée → convertisseur. Si vous voulez plusieurs zones, une évolution future, ou plusieurs liaisons fibre → switch.

Ai-je besoin de PoE à la maison ?

PoE est utile si vous alimentez directement des caméras IP, points d’accès Wi-Fi, ou téléphones VoIP. Pour TV / PC / console / NAS, PoE n’apporte rien.

Combien de ports me faut-il (2/8/16) ?

2 ports : 1–2 équipements. 8 ports : la plupart des maisons (TV, console, PC, NAS, AP). 16 ports : maison très équipée (caméras, AP multiples, domotique, NAS).

1G, 2.5G ou 10G : à quel moment ça vaut le coup ?

1G suffit pour internet standard. 2.5G/10G devient pertinent avec NAS, transferts lourds, Wi-Fi 7, multi-utilisateurs, ou box type Freebox Ultra / Livebox 6.

Faut-il des modules SFP ?

Sur la solution convertisseur “sans SFP”, les modules sont intégrés. Sur les solutions switch (SFP/SFP+), certains modèles nécessitent des modules selon architecture. C’est justement l’intérêt du module “sélection en 30 secondes”.

Quel câble fibre choisir : intérieur, extérieur, acier blindé ?

Intérieur : câble standard. Extérieur : gaine adaptée. Acier blindé : maximum de protection si conduits agressifs / zones à risque.

Ces solutions sont-elles compatibles avec ma box (Freebox, Livebox, SFR Box) ?

Oui. Tous les convertisseurs et switches Elfcam sont compatibles avec toutes les box fibre du marché : Freebox Ultra/Delta/Pop, Orange Livebox 6/7, SFR Box 8, Bouygues Bbox. La connexion se fait via le port Ethernet ou SFP de la box.

Choose Converter Fibre Switch Switch + integrated SFP 10Gb Network Essentials FAQ

Choose your solution in 30 seconds

Choose your configuration based on your usage

Step 1 What is your situation?

Step 2 Do you need PoE? (IP cameras, Wi-Fi access points, VoIP)

Tip: if you're not sure, choose "No" or "I don't know" — you can always add a PoE injector later.

Step 3 How many wired devices to connect?

Deploy your home fibre network — step-by-step checklist

Use this list as a checklist. Each step matches an answer and the products shown on this page — you can set everything up without looking elsewhere.

Assess your network needs

Number of devices (PC, TV, NAS, cameras, Wi-Fi…), area size, and expected bandwidth (regular use, remote work, 4K streaming, 10G).

Go to the selection guide → See technical parameters →

Choose the right architecture

Converter (simple point-to-point) • Fibre switch (expandable network) • PoE (Wi-Fi / cameras) • 10G (highly equipped homes, NAS, Freebox Ultra/Livebox 6).

Converters → Fibre switch → PoE switch → 10G network →

Physically install the cables

Run the fibre and Ethernet while avoiding bends/twists. Choose suitable cables (indoor/outdoor) and secure sensitive routes (corners, conduits, walls).

Fibre cables → Ethernet cables →

Connect and configure equipment

Fibre → converter/switch • Ethernet → box/router/devices • PoE → Wi-Fi/cameras. ELFCAM solutions are plug-and-play, with no complex setup.

See the diagrams (hotspots) → Back to selection guide →

Test and validate the network

Check connectivity for each device, test speed/stability, and confirm PoE power if used. If in doubt, check the relevant product page.

Go to the products → See the FAQ →

Tip: if you're unsure, start with the guide "Choose the right switch for your usage". In 30 seconds, you'll know whether you need a converter, a fibre switch, a PoE or a 10G. Open the guide →

Solution 1 — Fibre Optic Converter (without SFP)

The fibre optic converter transforms light signals into electrical signals (and vice versa). In practice, 2 converters are enough to create a simple fibre link, plug-and-play, with no SFP modules to buy (SFP already built-in).

Capacity

Max Ethernet outputs: 4
Max fibre outputs: 1
SFP: built-in (1.25Gb)
Cascade: No

When to choose?

1 fibre link + 1 zone to feed
1 to 4 devices on the "arrival" side
You want the simplest network

Fibre Converter Without SFP Pack1
Fibre Converter Without SFP Pack2

Connection diagram (home)

Example: Ethernet (ref 11665) → converter (e.g. ref 2321) → fibre (ref 319) → converter.

Solution 2 — Fibre Optic Switch (cascade & expandable)

The fibre optic switch connects several devices to an optical network and distributes data to the right point. It is the ideal solution if you want a scalable network, with cascade and multiple zones.

Capacity

Max Ethernet outputs: 8
Max fibre outputs: 8
SFP: 1.25Gb
Cascade: Yes

PoE: required?

Yes: IP cameras / Wi-Fi APs / VoIP
No: TV / PC / console / NAS (often)
If unsure → go without PoE and add an injector later

Example: main switch + extension via converter.

How to choose the number of ports?

2 ports

For 1–2 devices in one zone (TV + box, PC, etc.).

8 ports

The home "sweet spot": TV, console, PC, NAS, Wi-Fi AP.

16 ports

Well-equipped home: cameras, multiple APs, NAS, smart home.

Solution 3 — Fibre Switch + Integrated SFP Converter

A "home + pro" architecture: a central switch distributes the network over Ethernet, and fibre links use SFP/SFP+ depending on the model. Ideal if you want a more solid and more scalable base than a pair of converters.

FAQ — Home Fiber

1Converter or switch: how do I make sure of my choice?

If you connect one zone to one zone with 1–4 devices on the receiving side → converter. If you want multiple zones, future expansion, or several fibre links → switch.

2Do I need PoE at home?

PoE is useful if you directly power IP cameras, Wi-Fi access points, or VoIP phones. For TV / PC / console / NAS, PoE brings no benefit.

3How many ports do I need (2/8/16)?

2 ports: 1–2 devices. 8 ports: most homes (TV, console, PC, NAS, AP). 16 ports: well-equipped home (cameras, multiple APs, smart home, NAS).

41G, 2.5G or 10G: when is it worth it?

1G is enough for standard internet. 2.5G/10G becomes relevant with NAS, heavy transfers, Wi-Fi 7, multi-user, or boxes such as Freebox Ultra / Livebox 6.

5Do I need SFP modules?

With the "without SFP" converter solution, the modules are built-in. With switch solutions (SFP/SFP+), some models require modules depending on the architecture. That's exactly the point of the "selection in 30 seconds" module.

6Which fibre cable to choose: indoor, outdoor, armoured steel?

Indoor: standard cable. Outdoor: suitable jacket. Armoured steel: maximum protection for harsh conduits / risk areas.

7Are these solutions compatible with my box (Freebox, Livebox, SFR Box)?

Yes. All Elfcam converters and switches are compatible with all fibre boxes on the market: Freebox Ultra/Delta/Pop, Orange Livebox 6/7, SFR Box 8, Bouygues Bbox. Connection is made via the box's Ethernet or SFP port.
