Note
1. It is recommends using PLANET MGB-SX / MGB-LX series 1000Base-SX/LX SFP on
the GT-805A. If you insert a SFP transceiver that is not supported, the GT-805A will
not recognize it.
2. Please check the link-budget of your SFP transceivers and its physical wiring
distance, in some installation, a in-line optical attenuator may be required to protect
your transceivers.
6. Duplex Mode Support
The FT-80x TP port supports duplex mode detection by auto-negotiation (A-N). It shall auto detects the link
speed and the duplex mode by default. And auto fall-back to 100 or 10Mbps half-duplex mode with its link
partner. The fiber port supports DIP switch selection for Full-duplex (default) or Half-duplex.
The GT-80x TP port supports triple speed - 10/100/1000Base-T, Auto-negotiation. It shall auto detects the
link speed and the duplex mode by default with its link partner. The Fiber port - 1000Base-SX/LX, allow
1000Mbps full duplex by Auto-Negotiation. Please also check the setting of the link partner as well.
