2. Overview
MCT-, a compact media converter, converts
traditional twisted-pair RJ-45 cable with 10G NBase-T
technology into a 10G SFP+ slot for pluggable fiber transceiver,
extending transmission distance for Data Center 10G NBase-T
to 10GBase-R conversion application or ISP Mobile DU (Dis-
tributed Unit) and Enterprise broadband service applications.
MCT-
media converter is fully compliant with 802.3u,
802.3ab, 802.3z, 802.3bz, 802.3ae, and 802.3an standards.
Operation status can be locally monitored through a set of
Diagnostic LEDs located in the front panel.
Major Features:
- Support Auto-Negotiation for 5-speed options (100M/
1G/2.5G/5G/10G) in TP port
- Up to 10G at 100m over Cat.6A cable or better cabling, or
2.5G at 100m over Cat.5E or better cabling. (For more
details, please see Section 7.)
- Support MDI/MDI-X Auto-Crossover
- Support Link Alarm
- Support Jumbo Frame
9K bytes (under 10Gbps)
- Support the loopback mode in the fiber port
- Support the fully-transparent mode
- Support Auto & Force mode configuration for the TP port.
