1. XG2 Overview
1.1. General Description of XG2
XG2 Series are high-performance 10G media converters for connecting different
10G devices and link. XG2 Series functions as a copper-to-fiber
converter, a fiber mode converter, or a fiber repeater. Five interface of
XG2 series are available and supported: RJ45 to SFP+, SFP+ to SFP+,
SFP+ to XFP, RJ45 to XFP, and CX4 to SFP+.
All XG2 Series are equipped with real-time LEDs which display the status of each
port. The built-in loopback functions make XG2 Series ideal for troubleshooting by sending
packets like BERT patterns to network equipment.
For example, as a media converter, XG2 provides a bi-directionally conversion between 10GBASE-R (fiber) and
10GBASE-T (copper). If the ISP administrator would like to deploy FTTX services from central office to the user’s
street or large organization building by fiber as the last mile connection, XG2 could convert the media type from fiber
to copper wire, and then distribute to any nearby location with 10Gbps Ethernet switch, or to xDSL modem via
DSLAM.
XG2 could also act as an auxiliary device for testing 10GBASE-T/ 10GBASE-R equipments by connecting
NuStreams 10Gbps Ethernet fiber modules such as XM-28L1 and XM-28L1CX4.
With various interfaces, XG2 Series provide different conversions between fibers and copper wires in 10Gbps
Ethernet.
1.2. Key Features of XG2
• Real-Time conversion between 10GBASE-T, 10GBASE-R, and 10GBASE-CX4
¾ Interface of 10GBASE-T based on IEEE 802.3an
¾ Interface of 10GBASE-R based on IEEE802.3ae
¾ Interface of 10GBASE-CX4 based on IEEE 802.3ak
• Conversion of media type between fiber (SFP+, XFP) and twisted pair copper wire (RJ-45, CX4)
• Real-time LEDs that display running status
¾ SFP+ status: Indicate the SFP+ fiber connector is connected or not
¾ LR status: Indicate the LR Transceiver or SR transceiver is plugged or not
¾ Link/Rx status: Display the Network linked/Receive status
¾ SFP+/Rx status: Display the Network linked/Receive status (For XG2-1 only)
¾ Loopback status: Indicate the Loopback test status of A and B ports
¾ SYS status: Indicate system operation status
• Console for updating firmware and configuring loopback functions
• Both SFP+ and RJ-45 port can connect to other 10Gbps Ethernet switch for expansion.
• Subsidiary device for test on 10Gbps Ethernet switch with 10GBASE-T and/or 10GBASE-R ports
