Providing the flexibility of 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet Media via RJ45 port and highly stable Gigabit fiber performance. PLANET media converters support conversion between 10/100/1000BASE-T and 1000BASE-SX/LX networks. There are SC/SFP/WDM connectors with single-mode or multi-mode media as required. The Ethernet signal allows three types of segments to connect easily, efficiently and inexpensively.
PLANET GST-80x gigabit media converter series extends communication distance with highly Gigabit performance via fiber optic cable. The GST-80x series provides media conversion between 10/100/1000BASE-T and 1000BASE-SX/LX interfaces for various fiber optic applications. The available fiber interfaces are shown below:
The GST-80x series provides auto MDI/MDI-X on its TP port and the DIP switch to configure the available smart functions including the auto-negotiation/force for fiber interface and Link Fault Passthrough function (LFP). The LFP function includes the Link Loss Carry Forward (LLCF)/Link Loss Return (LLR).
Both can immediately alarm administrators the media link issue and provide efficient solution to monitoring the network.
The GST-80x series allows two types of the segment to connect easily. The GST-80x series Smart Media Converter can be used as a standalone unit when powered by its DC adapter or used as a slide-in module to PLANET 19-inch managed 16-slot media converter chassis (MC-1610MR/MC-1610MR48). The managed 16-slot media converter chassis can assist in producing the power for the GST-80x to maintain the fiber-optic network at one location, when working with the Web Smart / Managed media converter chassis, the GST-80x is able to be managed and its status can be monitored through the local RS-232 to RJ45 console and remote web interface.
