10/100/1000Base-T to 1000Base-SX/LX Smart
Media Converter
To provide an easy powerful solution for FTTX applications, PLANET has released a
new series of Smart Media Converters, the GST-80x series. The model numbers include
10/100/1000Base-T to 1000Base-SX/LX Smart Media Converters and features 'plug &
play' and smart media conversion functions.
High-Performing Network Communication with Distance Extension
PLANET's GST-80x Smart Gigabit Media Converter series expands communication
distance with high Gigabit performance via a fiber-optical cable. The GST-80x series
provides media conversion between 10/100/1000Base-T and 1000Base-SX/LX interfaces
such as multi-mode LC/SC connectors (220m / 550m), single-mode LC/SC connectors
(10/20/30/40/50/70/120km) and single ber connectors (WDM,15/60km) for various ber
optic applications.
Enhanced Smart-Management Features
The GST-80x series provides auto MDI/MDI-X on its TP port and the DIP switch
to configure the available smart functions including auto-negotiation / force for fiber
interface and Link Pass-through function (LLCF/LLR). The Link Loss Carry Forward
(LLCF) function works with Link Loss Return (LLR) to diagnose network connections.
Also, the LLR function can immediately alarm a network administrator of a media link
issue and provide a solution to the monitoring of an entire network.
Easy Installation
The GST-80x series allows two segments to connect easily. The Smart Media
Converter can be used as a standalone unit when powered by its DC adapter or used
as a slide-in module with PLANET's 19-inch managed 16-slot media converter chassis
(MC-1610MR / MC-1610MR48). The Managed media converter chassis manages the
GST-80x and is able to monitor the local RS-232 console and remote web interface.
