S-10GT-XFPH Media Converter
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
The Perle S-10GT-XFPH Media Converter 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 S-10GT-XFPH Media Converter 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)
Perle 10 Gigabit Ethernet to Fiber Converters provide an economical path to extend the distance of an existing 10GbE link. Network Administrators can “see-everything” with Perle’s advanced features such as Smart Link Pass-Through, Fiber Fault Alert, a built-in Link Test capability and Loopback. This allows for more efficient troubleshooting and less on-site maintenance. These cost and time saving features, along with a lifetime warranty and free worldwide technical support, make the Perle S-10GT-XFPH Media Converter the smart choice for IT professionals. This product is also available for managed networks with AAA Security.
S-10GT-XFPH Media Converter Features
|
Smart Link Pass-Through |
|
|
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:
|
|
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 |
No switches are required to be flipped in order to go into test mode. 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 XFP module by monitoring its internal temperature and will automatically shut down the XFP 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. |
| Power Strain Relief strap | A strain relief strap is provided to ensure a solid and secure power connection to the media converter. Ideal for areas that may be exposed to any vibration. |
| 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. |
