GigaBit Media Converter

1

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.
