A converter apparatus is provided that enables conversion of data (traffic) between different form factor pluggable standards. The converter apparatus comprises a first connector configured to connect to a first device according to a first form factor pluggable standard, and a second connector configured to connect to a second device according to a second form factor pluggable standard. The converter apparatus further comprises a signal processor configured to be coupled between the first connector and the second connector. The signal processor is configured to convert at least one of transmit signals in the first form factor pluggable standard received at the first connector to transmit signals in the second form factor pluggable standard and receive signals in the second form factor pluggable standard received at the second connector to receive signals in the first form factor pluggable standard. A controller in the converter apparatus is configured to be coupled to the signal processor, to the first connector and to the second connector. The controller configures the signal processor as to parameters used for converting signals between the first and second form factor pluggable standards.
