* NOTE: Most versions of GFT-10XX standalone converters are available as card modules for Canary’s CCM-1600 and CCN-2000 / CCN-0400 Chassis models.
Please refer to the CCM-1600 and CCN-2000 / CCN-0400 Data Sheets for more information.
** Alternate part numbers
More versions of the GFT-10XX series may be found on the Canary web site as they become available.
Standard GFT-105X multi-mode converters guarantee minimum
transmission distances of 220+ meters over 62.5/125 µm fiber or
500+ meters over 50.0/125 µm fiber.
Standard GFT-103X single-mode models provide transmission
distances ranging from 10 to 70 kilometers over 9.0 µm single-
mode fiber.
Canary’s Extended Reach Multi-Mode GFT-1055E versions can span
up two kilometers over multi-mode fiber. With Extended Reach
Capability, users on maximum length fiber segments can deploy
and take full advantage of the increased speed and capacity of
Gigabit Ethernet!
