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.
