The iConverter XG+ is an industrial 10 Gigabit, protocol-transparent fiber converter/transponder with automatic speed selection of data rates from 6 Gbps to 11.32 Gbps. The XG+ features pluggable transceiver ports, and can be used as a fiber mode converter, a CWDM or DWDM transponder, or a fiber repeater supporting the three Rs (regeneration, retiming and reshaping).
The iConverter XG+ supports 10G Ethernet, 10G SONET/ SDH, 10G Fibre Channel, 10G OTN (G.709) and CPRI rates up to option 8 (6 Gbps to 11.32 Gbps).
The iConverter XG+ supports 100% traffic throughput and has no packet size restrictions. Ultra-low packet latency (< 50nsec) enables high-performance connectivity for data centers and financial networks.
Three interface configurations are available: XFP to XFP, XFP to SFP+, and SFP+ to SFP+. Pluggable XFP and SFP+ transceivers can be used for multimode and single-mode applications, supporting short haul distances, long haul distances and WDM fiber links.
The iConverterXG+ supports high-power (power level 3 and 4) XFP transceivers and the latest generation of wavelength tunable DWDM XFP transceivers. Utilizing management, the wavelength of a tunable transceiver can be programmed and saved, eliminating the need for external programming equipment.
Built-in loopback functions, on-board status LEDs and link fault propagation modes facilitate easy setup and quick troubleshooting. Pluggable transceiver alarm conditions reported through the digital diagnostic monitoring interface are displayed by the on-board status LEDs or management interface on plug-in modules.
Built-in Self Diagnostic Circuit Test validates the fiber connection between two XG+ modules.
The iConverter XG+ is available as a compact, unmanaged standalone units, or chassis plug-in modules that can be managed with a Management Module (NMM2) or Network Interface Device (NID) installed in the chassis. The management module provides access to the advanced features available on the module.
The hot-swappable, plug-in modules can be mounted in a variety of chassis with AC and DC power supplies.
The XG+ standalone unit is available with an external AC to DC power adapter or with a 2-pin terminal connector for direct connection to DC power. The standalone modules can be DIN-Rail mounted using the optional DIN-Rail mounting bracket (8250-0).
