Standalone Dual-Channel Media Converter

In this application diagram, the 2GXT functions as a dual-channel media converter, providing connectivity between two fiber links and two RJ-45 ports on a copper switch. The conversion from copper to fiber are on separate and independent channels, so there is no cross-connection between channels.

Chassis-Based Dual-Channel Media Converters

In this application diagram, eighteen 2GXT plug-in modules are installed in a 19-module chassis for high-density fiber distribution from a Gigabit copper switch. Thirty six fiber runs are distributed from a 2-U chassis. An NMM2 Network Management Module is also installed in the chassis, and connected to a Network Management Station for fault notification and remote configuration. At the end each fiber run, an iConverter GX/T2 standalone media converter provides copper to fiber conversion and bridging for connectivity to Fast Ethernet or Gigabit switches at remote locations.

 

Standalone Compact Switch with 1:1 Fiber Protection


Standalone Compact Switch with 1:1 Fiber Protection

The 2GXT can be configured as a four-port switch module with redundant fiber links. In this application, a 2GXT provides protected fiber connectivity to two separate nodes on a resilient ring. Port 1 of the 2GXT is the Active Fiber and port 2 is the Standby Fiber. In the event of link fault detected by Port 1, the 2GXT will switch to the Standby Fiber to maintain connectivity to the ring.

iConverter 2GXT Plug-in Module (User Manual)

iConverter 2GXT Standalone (User Manual)

iConverter 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 a wide variety of Fast Ethernet and Gigabit SFP transceivers in standard, CWDM and DWDM wavelengths.

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.

The 2GXT also supports Dual Channel converter (Dual Device Mode) that enables the 2GXT to operate as two independent and isolated Ethernet switches. In Dual Device mode, the 2GXT provides separate and independent data traffic paths between the two uplink ports and two RJ-45 ports.

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.
