Net Optics GigaBit SX to TX Converters are simple and reliable devices for connecting GigaBit fiber traffic to copper devices and links. Use these bi-directional media converters individually to connect GigaBit copper and fiber devices, or in pairs at each end of long-distance fiber 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 to TX Converters support seamless media conversion at 1000 Mbps over link distances up to 550 meters with 50/125 multimode fiber and up to 5 kilometers with singlemode fiber. The Converter supports either full or half-duplex transmission with optional auto-negotiation over the fiber link and UTP port.

Fault Tolerant and Reliable

Net Optics GigaBit SX to TX Converters incorporate Link Fault Signaling, which gives the devices connected to the Converter critical information 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 fiber links.

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