Conversor de medios de red PLANET GT-802

The PLANET GT-802 is a gigabit network media converter that converts between 10/100/1000BASE-T (RJ45) and 1000BASE-SX fiber interfaces using an SC connector. Designed for stable fiber performance and simple Ethernet connectivity, the GT-802 supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1000 Mbit/s, a fiber transmission distance up to 550 m (850 nm wavelength) and operates from a 5 V DC input with a typical power consumption of 5.6 W. Compliant with IEEE 802.3/802.3u/802.3ab/802.3z standards and certified to FCC Class A and CE Class A, it can be used as a standalone unit or as a slide-in module in compatible 19" chassis.

Advantages

The GT-802 provides reliable gigabit conversion between copper and fiber links with auto MDI/MDI-X on the TP port and support for flow control and back pressure to reduce packet loss. It offers easy installation with plug-and-play operation and flexible deployment options: standalone with DC adapter or slide-in to PLANET media converter chassis. Built-in Link Fault Passthrough (configurable via DIP switch) with Link Loss Carry Forward (LLCF) and Link Loss Return (LLR) helps administrators detect and isolate link failures promptly.

Suitable for

• Extending Ethernet networks over fiber for campus and building interconnects
• Connecting copper-based switches or servers to fiber backbone
• Integration into 19" media converter chassis for centralized fiber deployments
• Short-range multimode fiber links up to 550 m (1000BASE-SX)

Key specifications

• Maximum data transfer rate: 1000 Mbit/s
• Ethernet LAN (RJ-45) ports: 1 (10/100/1000BASE-T)
• Fiber ports quantity: 1 (1000BASE-SX), SC connector, multimode
• Maximum transfer distance: 550 m (850 nm)
• Power input / consumption: 5 V DC / 5.6 W
• Weight: 0.2 kg
• Standards: IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3ab, 802.3z
• Certifications: FCC Class A, CE Class A

How to use

Connect the RJ45 port to the copper Ethernet device and the SC fiber connector to the multimode fiber link. Power the unit with the supplied 5 V DC adapter for standalone operation or insert the module into a compatible PLANET 19" media converter chassis that supplies power. Configure Link Fault Passthrough (LFP) via the DIP switch as required to enable LLCF or LLR behavior. The converter operates automatically with auto-negotiation and auto MDI/MDI-X on the TP port; no additional software configuration is required for basic operation.

Recommendations

Use the GT-802 for short- to medium-range multimode fiber connections (up to 550 m) and install within ventilated equipment racks or cabinets. When monitoring link integrity, enable LFP (LLCF/LLR) to notify network management systems of link failures. For centralized installations, consider using PLANET media converter chassis to provide consolidated power and easier cable management.
