Chapter 1 OVERVIEW
Thank you for purchasing PLANET GT-80X 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 Gigabit Ethernet
Media Converter introduced here provides one channel
media conversion between the 10/100/1000Base-T and
1000Base-SX/LX,1000Base-SX/LX through SFP Mini-GBIC
(GT-805A only) or the 1000Base-LX WDM (GT-806A15/B15
and GT-806A60/B60 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 singlemode 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 802.3 10Base-T, IEEE 802.3u
