GST-80X Series

10/100/1000BASE-T to 1000BASE-SX/LX Smart Media Converter

With high-performance data transmission, smart media conversion function, and plug-and-play feature, the PLANET GST-80X series smart media converter is an ideal solution for building a network solution of FTTH (Fiber to the Home), FTTC (Fiber to the Curb), or FTTB (Fiber to the Building) for ISPs, campuses and enterprises.

Features

Distance Extension with High Performance and Steady Network Communication

The PLANET GST-80x series extends communication distance with highly 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 for 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

The 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 connecting 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.

LOADING...

The PLANET GST-802 is a Gigabit media converter that connects a 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet device to 1000Base-SX multimode fiber over an SC connection, with a listed reach of up to 2 km. It suits network installers extending copper Ethernet links over multimode fiber.

Recommended For

  • Small-office or building-network installers connecting a Gigabit Ethernet switch or device over existing multimode SC fiber for a short inter-building or floor-to-floor link; PLANET specifies 220/550 m maximum, depending on the fiber.
  • Network technicians adding a fiber segment to an Ethernet connection while keeping the copper side at 10/100/1000 Mbps and the fiber side at Gigabit 1000BASE-SX.
  • Installers who want a standalone copper-to-fiber converter with auto-negotiation, Auto MDI/MDI-X, and link-fault troubleshooting features, without needing a managed chassis for basic operation.
  • Organizations using PLANET’s MC-1610MR or MC-1610MR48 chassis that want to add a compatible converter to a centrally monitored media-converter setup.

Real-World Use Scenarios

  • When a switch has an Ethernet port but the connection to another room or network closet is already multimode fiber, use a compatible converter at each end to bridge the fiber run; the remote side gets a copper Ethernet connection without replacing the switches.
  • For a temporary or hard-to-reach Ethernet outlet, pair converters to carry the network over an existing multimode fiber route, then provide a copper connection at the outlet; the setup depends on compatible fiber and a converter at both ends.
  • When connecting copper-only equipment to a multimode fiber network, use the GST-802 at the copper-to-fiber handoff; it converts the Ethernet link so the existing fiber infrastructure can serve equipment without an optical port.
  • In a site with several fiber links, install GST-80x converters in a compatible PLANET managed chassis to centralize power and monitor converter status through the chassis interface; standalone use does not provide that chassis-based management.
  • When a link problem occurs on a remote fiber run, enable Link Fault Passthrough so a loss on the copper or fiber side can be reflected across the connection; this can make link failures easier to notice, though it does not replace detailed network monitoring.
