GigaBit Fiber Media Converter

Introduction
Net.Optics.GigaBit.SX/TX.and.LX/TX.Converters.are.simple.and.reliable.
devices for connecting GigaBit copper traffic and GigaBit fiber devices and
links ..Use.these.bi-directional.media.converters.individually.to.connect.Giga-
Bit copper and GigaBit fiber devices, or in pairs at each end of long-distance
fiber links. These Converters are the perfect solution for dispersed networks
where.media.conversion.required.between.copper.network.segments.separated.
by.long.distances .
Fast and Versatile
The.GigaBit.SX/TX.and.LX/TX.Converters.support.seamless.media.conver-
sion.of.optical.signals.for.data.rates.at.1000.Mbps,.over.a.full.link.distance.of.
220 meters (62.5/125µm multimode fiber), 550 meters (50/125µm multimode
fiber) or 10 kilometers (8.5/125µm singlemode fiber). The CV-SX/GCU
model supports transmission over either 62.5µm or 50µm multimode fiber.
The.Converter.supports.either.full.or.half-duplex.transmission.with.optional.
auto-negotiation over the fiber link and UTP port.
Fault Tolerant and Reliable
Net.Optics.GigaBit.SX/TX.and.LX/TX.Converters.incorporate.Link.Fault.
Signaling,.which.gives.the.devices.connected.to.the.Converter.critical.in-
formation.about.link.status ..If.either.side.of.the.bi-directional.link.fails,.the.
Converter.immediately.communicates.the.fault.to.both.devices,.reducing.the.
time.required.to.activate.a.redundant.path ..To.control.jitter.over.long.optical.
links, the Converter features Clock and Data Recovery (CDR). CDR ensures
that.the.overall.jitter.budget.is.not.exceeded.when.deploying.converter.pairs.
with long fiber links.
For.extra.uptime.protection,.Net.Optics.Converters.offer.redundant.power.
connections ..Should.the.primary.power.source.fail,.the.Converter.automati-
cally.switches.to.the.backup.power.source .
