Description


The OmniConverter G/Sx is an unmanaged compact gigabit Ethernet switch that features copper or fiber uplink ports and four or eight 10/100/1000 RJ-45 copper user ports. The OmniConverter G/Sx enables network distance extension with fiber cabling.

The OmniConverter G/Sx is a standard Layer 2 Ethernet switch that forwards frames to any port based on their MAC address.

The OmniConverter G/Sx supports Directed Switch mode, which directs multicast traffic (such as video) only to the appropriate uplink port, preventing the multicast video traffic from flooding other network ports.

Models with two fiber or two copper uplink ports support daisy-chain configurations or redundant uplinks for critical applications that require protection and sub 50ms restoration in the event of an uplink failure.

Models with two fiber or two copper uplink ports also support Dual Device mode that enables the G/Sx to operate as two independent and isolated Ethernet switches. In Dual Device mode, the G/Sx provides separate and independent data traffic paths between the two uplink ports and four or eight user ports.

The G/Sx modes of operation can be configured using easily accessible DIP-switches. Each DIP-switch function is labeled on the side of the OmniConverter for ease of identification and use.

Models are available with fixed ST, SC, and LC fiber connectors or Small Form Pluggable (SFP) transceiver receptacles. Fiber ports support multimode or single-mode and dual fiber or single-fiber with distances up to 140 km. SFP models support a variety of distances in standard, CWDM and DWDM wavelengths.

The compact OmniConverter G/Sx Ethernet switches can be wall mounted, rack mounted or DIN-rail mounted using an optional DIN-rail mounting clip. The OmniConverter Ethernet switch models are available with 2-Pin DC Terminal or external 100-240V AC power adapters.





Examples


Dual Device Mode Application

This Dual Device feature is extremely useful when two isolated networks domains share a single network distribution location.

The example below depicts a scenario where the Administration (green) network and the Engineering (purple) network are sharing a single hub distribution location. Using the two uplinks and the Dual Switch mode facilitates using a single switch driving both the Administration and the Engineering workstations while maintaining isolation between the networks.

Daisy Chain Application

This example demonstrates the daisy chain capabilities of the OmniConverter switches. In this application each OmniConverter switch connects to its neighboring switches via its uplink ports. The daisy chain can continue to additional switches using this method of connectivity.

In this application, two locations are connected using the OmniConverter switches providing connectivity between the workstations and the router.
