Description
iConverter Dual-Channel 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet Fiber Media Converter Switch SFP Module – 2 x 10/100/1000BASE-T; 2 x 100/1000BASE-X (SFP); Internal Module; Lifetime WarrantyThe iConverter 2GXT functions as a dual-channel Gigabit Ethernet media converter or a four-port switch with two 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports and two Small Form Pluggable (SFP) ports. The dual SFP fiber ports can be configured to provide 1:1 uplink protection with less than 50ms switchover when the 2GXT is deployed as a four-port switch.
The 2GXT supports both 100BASE-X and 1000BASE-X SFPs to provide flexible connectivity to Fast Ethernet or Gigabit networks, and simplifies inventory management in large Enterprise and Telecom networks with multiple data rates. The SFPs also enable adaptability to different fiber types and distances, and support Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing (CWDM) to increase the capacity of fiber infrastructure.
The RJ-45 port supports 10/100/1000 and Half/Full-Duplex auto-negotiation with both hardware and software manual override controls when managed.
iConverter 2GXT media converters are available as compact, unmanaged standalone units, or chassis plug-in modules that can be managed with a management module installed in the chassis. The hot-swappable plug-in module can be mounted in a 19 or 5-Module chassis with any combination of redundant AC and DC power supplies. It can also be mounted in a 2-Module AC or DC powered chassis, or in a 1-Module chassis with AC or DC power input.
The 2GXT plug-in module also features two Gigabit Ethernet backplane ports for connectivity to adjacent iConverter modules in a chassis for multi-port and multi-service configurations.
Deploying 2GXT plug-in modules configured as dual-channel media converters in an iConverter chassis provides high-density fiber distribution from copper switch equipment, with twice the ports of conventional media converters. For example, installing 2GXT modules in an iConverter 19-Module chassis provides thirty eight fiber runs from only 2U of rack space.
Software managed advanced features include IEEE 802.1Q VLAN and 802.1p Quality of Service prioritization, and Port Access Control, which provides the ability to enable or disable individual ports to control delivery of services. The optional management also supports port-level MIB statistics, and reporting real-time packet statistics to provide performance and operational monitoring.
