Planet 10/100/1000BASE-T to Dual 100/1000BASE-X SFP Media Converter | GT-1205A

PLANET GT-1205A Gigabit SFP Media Converter is upgraded by providing dual SFP slots; accept 100FX or 1000X SFP module, and other features shown below: 

DIP Switch for 100FX or 1000X SFP module supports on dual SFP slots
DIP Switch for 3-port Operation in Gigabit Switch Mode or Redundant Mode
Redundant Hardware Fiber Port 

Highly Convenient and Distance Extendable
The GT-1205A is equipped with one 10/100/1000BASE-T port and dual SFP slots to support conversion between 10/100/1000BASE-T and 100/1000BASE-X network. The dual SFP slots make the Ethernet signals connect easily and efficiently by adding single-mode or multi-mode media modules or the combination of both types. The GT-1205A provides high reliability and flexibility to extend the media transmission distance up to 550m or 2km (multi-mode fiber) and 10km or longer 20/40/80/120 kilometers (single-mode fiber or WDM fiber), depending on the optional 100/1000BASE-SX/LX SFP modules.

Adjustable DIP Switch for 100FX or 1000X SFP Module Selection
Via the built-in DIP switch on rear panel, the GT-1205A can be configured as supports 100BASE-FX SFP module or 1000BASE-X SFP module on its dual SFP slots, the GT-1205A can be connected over fiber optic cabling at a distance extended from 550 meters to 2km (multi-mode fiber) to 10/20/40/80/120 kilometers (single-mode fiber or WDM fiber), using the PLANET MFB/MGB series 100/1000BASE-X SFP modules.

Adjustable 3-Port Switch Mode or 2 Fiber Port Redundant Mode
Via the built-in DIP switch, the GT-1205A can be configured as 3-port Ethernet switch or 2-port redundant media converter. In the 3-port switch mode, the GT-1205A can operate in Store-and-Forward mechanism with high performance; on the other hand, when in the 2-port redundant mode, it provides rapid fiber redundancy of link for highly critical Ethernet applications. The redundant mode also supports auto-recovering function. If the destination port of a packet is link-down, it will forward the packet to the other port of the backup pair.

Easy Deployment Standalone or with Chassis 
The GT-1205A Gigabit Media Converter can be used as a standalone unit or as a slide-in module to the PLANET Media Converter Chassis, MC-700 and MC-1500 chassis series. These media chassis can assist in providing DC power to the GT-1205A Gigabit Media Converter and the fiber-optic network can be maintained at one central location. With the 3-port switch mode, they work in high performance Store and Forward mechanism, and prevent packet loss with IEEE 802.3x Flow Control (Full-duplex) and Back Pressure (Half-duplex) function.

Plug & Play Installation 
As the GT-1205A Gigabit Media Converter fully complies with IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T, IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX/FX, IEEE 802.3ab 1000BASE-T and IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-LX/SX, the Gigabit media conversion installation is quite quick and easy simply by using the plug and play feature.

Applications

Gigabit Ethernet Distance Extension
The GT-1205A directly converts the media from the Gigabit fiber to twisted pair interface. For example, it can be applied between the Gigabit Fiber Switch and the Gigabit Copper Network Card to perform media conversion and transmission.

With the conversion, you can easily have the transmission distance of Gigabit copper cable extended up to 550 meters or longer (depending on SFP module). Built in with two SFP ports, the GT-1205A can integrate with the existing copper switch to provide Gigabit fiber transmission without the need of replacing with the Gigabit Fiber Switch. With the Gigabit fiber transmission, the GT-1205A enables video stream to be delivered from the camera up to 120km away to local Network Video Recorder.

Fiber-Optic Networking for ISPs, System Integrators, Enterprises and Homes
With high performance of data transmission and easy installation, the GT-1205A can build the ISP network solution of FTTH (Fiber to the Home), FTTC (Fiber to the Curb) and FTTB (Fiber to the Building). The GT-1205A is also ideal for small office network environment of enterprises.

Fault Tolerant Redundant Link for Critical Network Applications
The GT-1205A is designed for optical fiber networks that require rapid link redundancy. With the auto-recovering feature, the redundant media converter responses rapidly for critical applications.
