Planet GST-805A 10/100/1000Base-T to 1000Base-LX/SX(mini-GBIC, SFP) Smart Media Converter-distance depends on SFP module

The Planet GST-80x series Smart Media Converters offer a quick and efficient 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. It features plug & play and smart management functions for minimized downtime. With compact design, the converter can be used standalone, or be installed into media converter chassis (sold separately).

Distance Extension with High Performance and Steady Network Communication

PLANET GST-80x Smart Gigabit Media Converter series extends communication distance with high Gigabit performance via 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 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 TP 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.

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 to PLANET 19-inch managed 16-slot media converter chassis (MC-1610MR / MC-1610MR48). When working with the Managed media converter chassis, the GST-80x is able to be managed and its status can be monitored through the local RS-232 console and remote web interface.

Applications

Fiber-Optic Networking for ISP, Enterprise, and Home

PLANET GST-80x provides advanced media conversion technology - 10/100/1000Base-T and 1000Base-SX/LX interfaces to fulfill different kinds of demands as the current network grows and expands. The GST-80x provides diverse fiber connect type options for different network applications. It is very flexible for the GST-80x to work as a standalone device or be installed in the central management media converter chassis for centralized management. When working with the management media converter chassis, the GST-80x is hot swappable to avoid network downtime. The GST-80x is the ideal solution to building a network solution of FTTH (Fiber to the Home) or FTTC (Fiber to the Curb), and FTTB (Fiber to the Building) for ISPs, campuses and enterprises.
