GigaBit Fiber Media Converter

Introduction

Net.Optics.GigaBit.SX/TX.and.LX/TX.Converters.are.simple.and.reliable.

devices for connecting GigaBit copper traffic and GigaBit fiber devices and

links ..Use.these.bi-directional.media.converters.individually.to.connect.Giga-

Bit copper and GigaBit fiber devices, or in pairs at each end of long-distance

fiber links. These Converters are the perfect solution for dispersed networks

where.media.conversion.required.between.copper.network.segments.separated.

by.long.distances .

Fast and Versatile

The.GigaBit.SX/TX.and.LX/TX.Converters.support.seamless.media.conver-

sion.of.optical.signals.for.data.rates.at.1000.Mbps,.over.a.full.link.distance.of.

220 meters (62.5/125µm multimode fiber), 550 meters (50/125µm multimode

fiber) or 10 kilometers (8.5/125µm singlemode fiber). The CV-SX/GCU

model supports transmission over either 62.5µm or 50µm multimode fiber.

The.Converter.supports.either.full.or.half-duplex.transmission.with.optional.

auto-negotiation over the fiber link and UTP port.

Fault Tolerant and Reliable

Net.Optics.GigaBit.SX/TX.and.LX/TX.Converters.incorporate.Link.Fault.

Signaling,.which.gives.the.devices.connected.to.the.Converter.critical.in-

formation.about.link.status ..If.either.side.of.the.bi-directional.link.fails,.the.

Converter.immediately.communicates.the.fault.to.both.devices,.reducing.the.

time.required.to.activate.a.redundant.path ..To.control.jitter.over.long.optical.

links, the Converter features Clock and Data Recovery (CDR). CDR ensures

that.the.overall.jitter.budget.is.not.exceeded.when.deploying.converter.pairs.

with long fiber links.

For.extra.uptime.protection,.Net.Optics.Converters.offer.redundant.power.

connections ..Should.the.primary.power.source.fail,.the.Converter.automati-

cally.switches.to.the.backup.power.source .
