Introduction
Net Optics GigaBit SX/TX and LX/TX Converters are simple and reliable
devices for connecting GigaBit copper trafc and GigaBit ber devices and
links. Use these bi-directional media converters individually to connect Giga-
Bit copper and GigaBit ber devices, or in pairs at each end of long-distance
ber links. These Converters are the perfect solution for dispersed networks
where media conversion required between copper network segments separated
by long distances.
Fast and Versatile
The GigaBit SX/TX and LX/TX Converters support seamless media conver
sion of optical signals for data rates at 1000 Mbps, over a full link distance of
220 meters (62.5/125µm multimode ber), 550 meters (50/125µm multimode
ber) or 10 kilometers (8.5/125µm singlemode ber). The CV-SX/GCU
model supports transmission over either 62.5µm or 50µm multimode ber.
The Converter supports either full or half-duplex transmission with optional
auto-negotiation over the ber link and UTP port.
Fault Tolerant and Reliable
Net Optics GigaBit SX/TX and LX/TX Converters incorporate Link Fault
Signaling, which gives the devices connected to the Converter critical in
formation about link status. If either side of the bi-directional link fails, the
Converter immediately communicates the fault to both devices, reducing the
time required to activate a redundant path. To control jitter over long optical
links, the Converter features Clock and Data Recovery (CDR). CDR ensures
that the overall jitter budget is not exceeded when deploying converter pairs
with long ber links.

For extra uptime protection, Net Optics Converters offer redundant power
connections. Should the primary power source fail, the Converter automati
cally switches to the backup power source.
