C-10GT-XFPH Media Converter Modules

10GBase-T to XFP Copper and Fiber Converter

Copper to fiber and copper to copper conversion
Uses MSA compliant XFPs
Advanced features –Smart Link Pass-Through, Fiber Fault Alert, Built-in Link Test Generator and Loopback
Support for Power Level 1,2,3 as well as high-power Level 4 XFPs

Installed in a high density MCR1900 Media Converter Chassis, the Perle C-10GT-XFPH Managed Media Converter Module transparently connects 10GBase-T Ethernet links over multimode or single mode fiber. Each 10GbE Media Converter comes with one RJ45 10GBase-T port and an empty slot for one XFP module.

Copper to Fiber conversion is achieved by inserting an XFP fiber transceiver that supports multimode and single-mode fiber, including CWDM/DWDM wavelengths. Copper to copper is achieved by inserting XFP 10Gbase-CX4 transceivers.

The empty transceiver port on the C-10GT-XFPH Managed Media Converter Module allows for flexible network configurations to meet any requirement using a variety of MSA compliant XFPs. You can use this product to convert:

10GBase-T (RJ45) to XFP
10GBase-T (RJ45) to 10GBase-CX4 (XFP)

C-10GT-XFPH Media Converter Features

Smart Link Pass-Through	When Smart Link Pass-Through is enabled (default), each port will reflect the state of its port peer. In this mode, if a link loss is detected on one port, the transmit signal on the other port is disabled “passing through” the state of the failed link. This enables managed switches and other devices to report link failures to their network NMS. When Smart Link Pass-Through is disabled, if a link loss is detected on one port the transmit signal remains enabled on the other port.
Fiber Fault Alert	With Fiber Fault Alert the state of the 10 Gigabit Ethernet receiver is passed to the transmitter. This provides fault notification to the partner device attached to the 10G Ethernet interface of the media converter.
Green Ethernet	Utilizes Green Ethernet energy saving technology based on industry standards such as: Short Reach Mode (less than 30 meters) as per IEEE 802.3an. This enables 10GBase-T operation with less power consumption. Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) as per 802.3az. This provides power savings during idle network activity.
Built-in Link Test	When enabled, the built-in packet generator transmits Ethernet test frames to its 10 Gigabit Ethernet peer. The remote media converter will auto-detect the test frames and loopback the test frames. Any frames received in error, will cause the Power, LK1 and LK2 LEDs to illuminate in a specific combination to identify the error. During the test different bit test patterns will be utilized every 5 seconds ensuring a thorough link test.
Test Mode Auto-detect	When enabled through the management interface, the remote media converter will enter test mode automatically when requested by its central site peer. This virtually eliminates unnecessary truck rolls to a remote site when diagnosing a link failure.
EDC Mode Control	Electronic Dispersion Compensation (EDC) is an algorithmic method used to compensate for optical dispersion that occurs on high speed 10 Gigabit links. EDC mode settings are automatically configured by the media converter based on the information retrieved from the XFP module. This will enable proper operation for extended multimode 10GBase-LRM as well as active or passive copper cabling.
Module Temperature Protection	Protects your DOM/DMI capable SFP+ or XFP module by monitoring its internal temperature and will automatically shut down the XFP or SFP if the module is operating above its maximum temperature threshold.
High Power Level 4 XFPs	High powered Level 4 XFPs are supported.
Jumbo Packets	Transparent to Jumbo Frames with a maximum MTU size of 10,024 bytes
VLAN	Transparent to VLAN tagged packets.
Remote Loopback	Capable of performing a loopback on the 10 Gigabit interface. In this mode, all frames received on the port in loopback mode will be transmitted back. This provides users with the capability of utilizing their own in-house test generators for testing the link.

Single Mode / Single Strand (WDM) Fiber

WDM technology reduces costs and maximizes fiber usage by transmitting on separate frequencies within a single fiber that can carry multiple light wavelengths simultaneously without interference. WDM comes in two forms: conventional/coarse (CWDM) and dense (DWDM), which use different wavelength patterns.
