Reviews
The Planet GT-80x series Gigabit media converters offer a great solution for conversion between 10/100/1000Base-T and 1000Base-LX/SX network. These converters accept various types of Ethernet Media on an RJ-45 port and offer stable Gigabit fiber performance. The Ethernet signal allows three types of segments to connect easily, efficiently and inexpensively. With compact design, the converter can be used standalone, or be installed into media converter chassis (sold separately) for centralized power delivery. The Planet GT-806A15 is a 10/100/1000Base-TX to 1000FX WDM Bi-directional media converter.
The GT-80x series includes GT-802, GT-802S, GT-805A and GT-806A/B, to meet the need of various applications.
Distance Extension with High Performance and Steady Network Communication
PLANET's GT-80x series of Gigabit Media Converters extends communication distance with Gigabit performance via a fiber optical cable. The GT-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 fiber connectors (WDM, 15/60km) for various fiber optic applications.
Enhanced Smart Management Features
The GST-80x series provides auto MDI/MDI-X on its Ethernet port and the DIP switch to configure the available smart functions including the 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 alert network administrator to the media link issue and provide efficient solution to monitoring the entire network.
In addition, even if the Web UI is not available on a GT-80x, the network administrator can still remotely control and monitor the GT-80x with its OAM TS-1000 terminal function that controls remote failure indication, loop back testing, port status, performance monitoring and troubleshooting. PLANET's GT-90x and IGT- 90xT series products provide TS-1000/802.3ah OAM protocol (operations, administration, and maintenance) support which allows the GT-80x device to be remotely managed and monitored.
'Plug and Play' Installation
The GT-80x series allows two type of segments to connect easily, the GT-80x series can be used as a standalone unit when powered by its DC adapter or used as a slide-in module to PLANET's 19-inch 7/15-Slots media converter chassis (MC-700/MC-1500/ MC-1500R / MC-1500R48). The media chassis can utilize the GT-80x to centralize the power of a fiber-optic network at one location. The Gigabit Media Converter fully complies with IEEE 802.3 10Base-T, IEEE 802.3u 100Base-TX, IEEE 802.3ab 1000Base-T and IEEE 802.3z 1000Base-LX/SX standard. The Gigabit Media Converter features a simple 'plug and play' installation. The GT-80x also supports flow control and back pressure in half-duplex mode to eliminate packets loss.
Applications
Fiber-Optic Networking for ISPs, Enterprises, and Homes
With its high performing data transmission and easy installation, ISPs can use the GT-80x to build a FTTH (Fiber to the Home) or FTTC (Fiber to the Curb) network solution and FTTB (Fiber to the Building) applications for small office network environments or enterprises.

LOADING...
The PLANET GT-806A15 is a Gigabit Ethernet media converter that connects 10/100/1000Base-T copper Ethernet to 1000Base-LX WDM fiber over single-mode cable for links up to 15 km, making it suitable for network installers extending Ethernet between buildings or across a site.
Recommended For
- Network teams connecting a remote building or branch to Ethernet over an existing single-mode fiber strand, when the link is within the converter’s stated 15 km range.
- Installers converting a Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 connection to single-mode WDM fiber who can use a matching GT-806B15 at the other end of the link.
- IT teams maintaining a fiber link that already uses the GT-806A15/GT-806B15 wavelength pair and need a like-for-like converter replacement.
- Network installers building a centralized media-converter setup who want compatible units housed in a PLANET MC-series chassis.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- To connect a copper-only switch or router to a remote building over installed single-mode fiber, place a compatible converter at each end; the link carries Gigabit Ethernet between the locations without extending the copper run beyond its usual reach.
- When a site has only one available single-mode fiber strand, use the GT-806A15 with its complementary 1550 nm GT-806B15 at the other end; the WDM pair sends and receives over one strand instead of requiring a duplex fiber pair.
- For a remote Ethernet security camera or access-control device that needs a fiber uplink, connect its RJ45 port to the converter and the fiber run to the network; the device extends network connectivity, but the endpoint and converter need their own power because this model does not provide PoE.
- If electrical interference or surge exposure makes a long copper Ethernet route undesirable, convert the network connection to fiber for the long run and back to RJ45 at the far end; the equipment can then communicate across the fiber link without carrying Ethernet over that copper route.
- To add a fiber connection to an existing Ethernet device that has only an RJ45 port, connect its copper port to the GT-806A15 and the fiber port to a compatible fiber link; the converter bridges the device onto the fiber network without replacing it with fiber-capable hardware.
