PLANET IGT-1205AT Industrial 10/100/1000T to 2-port 100/1000X SFP Media Converter

The PLANET IGT-1205AT is an industrial media converter that connects one 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet device to two SFP interfaces supporting 1000Base-X or 100Base-FX transceivers. It suits industrial networks that need copper-to-fiber connectivity, redundant power input, and operation in temperatures from -40°C to 75°C.

Recommended For

• Industrial automation teams extending a single Ethernet connection over fiber between control cabinets, PLC equipment, or other network endpoints in locations with wide temperature swings; the DIN-rail/wall-mount design and industrial operating-temperature range fit this installation style.
• Installers connecting a remote surveillance or wireless-network location over fiber who need one copper Ethernet connection at the endpoint and can select compatible SFP transceivers for the fiber run.
• Network technicians adding a fiber link to an existing Ethernet setup without replacing the endpoint equipment, where an unmanaged media-conversion device is sufficient and a separate switch already provides network management.
• Operators of remote or harsh-environment Ethernet links who value redundant power inputs and, when supported by their unit configuration, fiber-link failover for continuity if the primary fiber path goes down.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• To connect a remote IP-camera network to a fiber backbone, an installer can link the cameras’ Ethernet-side equipment to the converter and use a compatible SFP and fiber run for the uplink; this carries network traffic over fiber, but the converter itself does not provide PoE power to cameras.
• In a factory or transportation control cabinet, the converter can bridge a copper Ethernet device or segment to a fiber link; its industrial temperature range and metal enclosure suit installation in demanding environments, provided the SFP and fiber match the link at the other end.
• For a remote building or equipment area, it can connect a local copper Ethernet device to a fiber network when a direct copper run is unsuitable; the result is a fiber uplink with Ethernet available at the device side, not a multiport switch for serving several local devices.
• Where a network design uses two fiber paths, the converter’s fiber-redundancy mode can support a backup link; failover depends on correct configuration and a compatible network topology, so it is not a substitute for end-to-end redundancy planning.
• For a small industrial fiber segment, the two SFP ports can be configured in switch mode to connect fiber links through the unit; this can help extend a network between nearby network points, but the product offers only one copper RJ-45 port for a local Ethernet device.
