XST-705A 10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M Copper to 10GBASE-X SFP+ Smart Media Converter (for use with MC-1610MR / MC-1610MR48 only)

Description

The PLANET XST-705A Smart Media Converter is equipped with one 10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100BASE-T auto-negotiation port and one 10GBASE-X SFP+ slot. It supports 10Gigabit Ethernet media conversion from copper 10GBASE-T to fiber multi-mode or single-mode, utilizing 10GBASE-SR or 10GBASE-LR SFP+ transceiver installed in the SFP+ slot to extend distances to servers, switches and patch panels.

The deployment distance can be extended from 300 meters (multi-mode) to up to 60 kilometres (single-mode).They are designed for use in network environments where the ultra-high bandwidth provided by 10Gigabit Ethernet is required, for example, data centre cloud computing, enterprise backbones, campus networks, and carrier infrastructure.

The XST-705A Smart Media Converter can be used as a stand-alone unit or as a slide-in module to the PLANET 19-inch Managed Media Converter Chassis series (MC-1610MR / MC-1610MR48). When working with Managed media converter chassis, the chassis can assist in providing DC power to the XST-705A and can be managed. Its port status such as link on/off can be monitored through the local RS232 console or remote web interface. Installing multiple XST-705As in the MC-1610MR is ideal for telecom and corporate applications where a number of 10Gbps fiber links need to be managed and controlled from a central location.
