Alkalmazás

The miConverter Gx connects to the laptop via two cables. The USB Power Adapter Cable powers the miConverter Gx by drawing electrical current from the USB port (1.0 or 2.0) of the laptop. The UTP cable links the laptop network port and the miConverter Gx copper port. The miConverter Gx converts the 1000BASE-T UTP signal to a 1000BASE-X fiber signal, which can extend the fiber link up to 80km. Power from the USB port of the computer is automatically shut off when the computer is powered down, turning off the miConverter Gx when fiber conversion is no longer needed.

The miConverter Gx is a miniature 1000BASE-T UTP copper to 1000BASE-X fiber Gigabit Ethernet media converter. The miConverter Gx provides cost-effective fiber connectivity from Gigabit switches to diagnostic equipment, desktop and laptop computers.

The miConverter Gx is the first Gigabit media converter powered by a USB port (1.0, 1.1, and 2.0). An optional USB Power Adaptor Cable is available, which reduces the module's weight and eliminates the need to tether the miConverter Gx to an electrical outlet.

The Plug-and-Play capability of the miConverter Gx simplifies fiber-to-the-laptop and fiber-to-the-desktop deployments. The miConverter Gx features auto-negotiation, which allows connected network devices to auto-negotiate their Duplex and Pause modes. The miConverter Gx also provides manual configuration with built-in DIP-switches for compatibility with legacy Gigabit fiber products. These features ensure the miConverter Gx is compatible with the widest range of Gigabit fiber equipment.

The miConverter Gx is available in multimode dual fiber, single-mode dual fiber and single-mode single-fiber options. It supports SC and ST connectors with fiber link distances up to 550m over MM fiber, 80km over SM fiber and 40km over single-fiber.

The miConverter Gx supports industry standard wavelengths depending on the fiber type. For multimode dual fiber, the miConverter Gx uses 850nm (Sx). When using single-mode dual fiber models with distances of up to 34km, the miConverter Gx uses 1310nm (Lx). For distances of up to 80km, the miConverter Gx uses 1550nm (Zx).

Single-mode single-fiber miConverter Gx models use 1310nmTx/1550nmRx and 1550nmTx/1310nmRx wave division multiplexing. The SF converters must be used in pairs where the transmit (Tx) wavelength of one converter matches the receive (Rx) wavelength of the other.

The LED indicators provide diagnostic data such as availability of power, port activity, link status, and Duplex modes to assist in network installation and maintenance.

The miConverter Gx combines Gigabit Ethernet connectivity with the lightweight design and low power consumption required for both permanent deployment and mobile service networks.

The external AC power supply is available in US, Universal and Country/Region specific models. Country/Region specific models feature optional interchangeable connectors, allowing for compatibility with electrical outlet types found around the world.

The miConverter Gx can be mounted in the miConverter 18-Module Power Chassis to consolidate individual modules into a rack-mount form factor that can be deployed where multiple fiber optic links are distributed from UTP switch equipment. The chassis powers converter modules with barrelstyle DC connectors, and is available with a single universal AC, 24VDC or 48VDC internal power supply. This compact, high-density chassis is 1.5 rack units high, and can be mounted in a standard 19” or 23” equipment rack.

Weighing less than 5 oz. with the USB Power Adapter Cable, the miConverter Gx can easily fit into any pocket or laptop carrying case. It can also be attached to portable equipment using the included Velcro® strips or wall-mounted using the optional wall-mounting bracket kit.
