Addendum
for the PowerBlade PBC18 Installation Guide
(PN 613-50144-00 Rev C)
The AT-PB1005G Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter is part of the
PowerBlade family. This addendum describes features of the
AT-PB1005G and contains the maximum operating distances, the
twisted pair port specifications , and cabling specifications for this
module.
AT-PB1005G Gigabit Ethern et Media Converter Module
The AT-PB1005G Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter is designed for the
PowerBlade PBC18 Chassis. This Gigabit Ethernet media converter
extends the distance of your network by converting Gigabit Ethernet
data between twisted pair and fiber optic cabling. The AT-PB1005G
media converter features a 1000Base-T twisted pair port and a
1000Base-X fiber optic port. The twisted pair port has a RJ-45 connector
with a maximum operating distance of 550 meters (1,804 feet). The fiber
optic port has a GBIC expansion slot for either a 1000Base-SX or
1000Base-LX GBIC transceiver. Each GBIC transceiver features an SC
connector with a maximum operating distance of 220 meters (721 feet)
to 70 kilometers (43.4 miles), depending on the model and type of fiber
optic cable used. The GBIC transceivers are sold separately. Contact your
Allied Telesyn sale representative for assistance.
The twisted pair port and the fiber optic port both operate at 1000 Mpbs
in full-duplex mode only.
