iConverter 2GXT Ethernet fiber media converters are members of the modular iConverter Multi-Service Platform. The 2GXT is a dual-channel media converter and four-port switch with two 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports and two Small Form Pluggable (SFP) ports. The dual SFP fiber ports can be configured to provide 1:1 uplink protection with less than 50ms switchover when the 2GXT is deployed as a four-port switch.
The 2GXT supports both 100BASE-X and 1000BASE-X SFPs to provide flexible connectivity to Fast Ethernet or Gigabit networks, and simplifies inventory management in large networks with multiple data rates. The SFPs also enable adaptability to different fiber types and distances, and support Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing (CWDM) and Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) to increase the capacity of fiber infrastructure.
The RJ-45 port supports 10/100/1000 and Half/Full-Duplex auto-negotiation with both hardware and software manual override controls.
The 2GXT features two Gigabit Ethernet backplane ports for connectivity to adjacent iConverter modules in a chassis for multi-port and multi-service configurations.
Advanced features include IEEE 802.1Q VLAN and 802.1p Quality of Service prioritization, and Port Access Control, which provides the ability to enable or disable individual ports to control delivery of services. The 2GXT also supports port-level MIB statistics, and reporting real-time packet statistics to provide performance and operational monitoring.
The 2GXT features user-selectable Link Propagate and Link Segment modes to facilitate quick fault detection, isolation and reporting.
iConverter 2GXT media converters are available as 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 2GXT 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 module can be DIN-Rail mounted using the optional DIN-Rail mounting bracket (8250-0).
The hot-swappable plug-in module can be mounted in a 19 or 5-Module iConverter chassis with redundant AC and DC power supplies. It can also be mounted in a 2-Module AC or DC powered chassis, or in a 1-Module chassis with AC or DC power input.
