Planet GST-802 Network Media Converter 850 nm Multi Mode

To provide an easy-to-use yet powerful solution for FTTX applications, PLANET has released a new 10/100/1000Base-T to 1000Base-SX/LX Smart Media Converter, GST-80x series, featuring plug and play and smart media conversion functions.

Distance extension with high performance and steady network communication: The 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 a DIP switch to configure the available smart functions including 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. Additionally, the LLR function can immediately alert network administrators to media link issues and provide efficient solutions 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 as a slide-in module to PLANET 19-inch managed 16-slot media converter chassis. When working with the managed media converter chassis, the GST-80x can be managed, and its status can be monitored through the local RS-232 console and remote web interface.
