OVERVIEW
Thank you for purchasing PLANET GT-70X family Gigabit Ethernet  
Media Converter products. This Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter 
is used to convert one type media signal to other type equivalent 
that allows two type segments connect easily, efciently and 
inexpensively.  The Giagbit Ethernet Media Converter introduced 
here provides one channel media conversion between the 
1000Base-T and 1000Base-SX/LX, 1000Base-SX/LX through SFP 
Mini-GBIC(GT-705A only) or the 1000Base-LX WDM(GT-706A15/ 
B15 only).
This Gigabit Ethernet Media converter can be used as a standalone 
unit or as a slide-in module to the 10”/19” media chassis (up 
to 15 units) for a multi-mode and single-mode Fiber combined 
networks at a central wiring closet. Please contact with your sales 
representative for more about the 10”/19” media chassis.
About the Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter
This Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter utilizes a netrwork 
technology specied by IEEE 802.3ab 1000Base-T and IEEE802.3z 
1000Base-SX/LX standards. The Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter 
is used to converter one type media signal to other type equivalent 
that allows two type segments connect easily, effciently and 
inexpensively.

MODEL LIST
Your Gigabit Ethernet Converter comes with one of the following 
models. 
ð GT-702: 1000Base-T to 1000Base-SX (SC)
ð GT-702S:1000Base-T to 1000Base-LX (SC)
ð GT-705A: 1000Base-T to 1000BaseSX/LX (LC)
ð GT-706A15: 1000Base-T to 1000Base-LX(WDM)
ð GT-706B15: 1000Base-T to 1000Base-LX(WDM)
In the following sections, the term “GT-70X” indicates the product 
family above, the term “MM” and “SM” represent Multi-Mode and 
Single Mode ber-optic mode. 
 NOTE:
Please note GT-706A15/706B15 is designed 
to work together. It means you must con-
nect GT-706A15 to GT-706B15 from them to 
work normally. If both ends are GT-706A15 
or GT-706B15, they can’t work normally and 
may damage the fiber connectors.

Chapter 4 
CHECKLIST
Your GT-70X carton should contain the following items:

ð AC-DC Power Adapter (Output: 5VDC, 2A max.).
ð This user’s manual.
If any item is missing or damaged, please consult the dealer from 
whom you purchased your Gigabit Ethernet Converter.
 Notice:
GT-705A is with one vacant SFP module slot. 
The mini GBIC SFP module is not bundled 
with in the package

PRODUCT OUTLOOK
Right View (GT-70X)
Left: Fiber-optic connector, Right: TP connector.
Three LED indicators per TP, ber port.
Rear View (GT-70X)
One DC jack for DC power input and DIP switch to disable/enable 
Auto by pass function.
 Notice:
Please to note that if converter is connect 
with switch which is Auto negotiation, must 
enable the Auto by pass function.
If both devices are conveters must disable 
the Auto by pass function.

Chapter 6 
INSTALLING THE CONVERTER
Please follow these steps to install the converter: 
 • Turn off the power of the device/station in a network to 
which the GT-70X will be attached.
•  Ensure that there is no activity in the network.
•  Attach fiber cable from the GT-70X to the fiber network. 
TX, RX must be paired at both ends.
•  Connect the 5VDC power adapter to the GT-70X and 
verify that the Power LED lights up.
•  Turn on the power of the device/station; the PWR LEDs 
should light when all cables are attached.
 Notice:
Please refers to section 9 for detailed wiring 
information of the GT-70X.
To prevent from optic acceptor malfunction, check the both wires 
/ transmitter before power on the converter.

Chapter 7 
DUPLEX MODE SUPPORT
The GT-70X is one-channel media conversion between 1000BaseT and 1000Base-SX/LX/LX WDM. 1000Base-T port can work 
under Auto-negotiation and xed 1000Mbps full duplex mode. 
1000Base-SX/LX/LX WDM ber port only allow to work under 
xed 1000Mbps full duplex mode.
 Notice:
It doesn’t support Auto-negotiation and can 
not work with 1000Base-SX/LX interface 
that can not configure to fixed 1000Mbps 
full duplex.
