Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the most versatile media converter available today.
Net Optics GigaBit Media Converters enable conversion between GigaBit
Fiber signals.
Key Features
Technology
• Net Optics GigaBit Media Converters support transparent conversion of
optical signals for data rates at 1000 Mbps.
• Includes automatic Link Fault Signaling. Link Fault Signaling alerts
each host (router, switch, server) attached to a Net Optics GigaBit Media
Converter, if any of the intermediate links that separate them have failed.
If one link fails, or is not connected, the converter automatically disables
the forward link to the next device, until the unit is connected or the link is
repaired.
• Includes Clock and Data Recovery (CDR) capability for superior perfor-
mance. This ensures that the overall jitter budget is not exceeded when
deploying pairs of converters.
• Fully RoHS compliant
Ease of Use
• All network connections are front-mounted for easy installation and
operation. Only the power connectors are side-mounted.
• Multiple LED indicators confirm link status.
• Compatible with all major manufacturer's network equipment.
