Smart Gigabit Converter Providing the flexibility of 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet Media via RJ45 port and highly stable Gigabit fiber performance, PLANET GST-802, GST-802S, GST-805A and GT-806A/B 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. Distance Extension with High Performance and Steady Network Communications 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: 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 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). LLCF means when a device connected to the converter and the TP line loses the link, the converter’s fiber will disconnect the link of transmission. LLR (Link Loss Return) means when a device connected to the converter and the fiber line loses the link, the converter’s fiber will disconnect the link of transmission. Both can immediately alarm administrators the media link issue and provide efficient solution to monitoring the network. Easy Installation 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.
