Omrežni medijski pretvornik PLANET IXT-705AT

The PLANET IXT-705AT is a compact industrial-grade 10G Ethernet media converter designed to extend 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks in harsh environments. It features one multi-speed RJ45 copper port (100 Mbps up to 10 Gbps) and one 10GBASE-X SFP+ fiber interface in an IP30 metal case with redundant power inputs. The device delivers non-blocking wire-speed performance, a 20 Gbps internal fabric and support for 16K jumbo frames, making it suitable for backbone links, data center uplinks and long-distance fiber connections across wide temperature ranges from -40 to 75 °C.

Advantages

The IXT-705AT provides reliable 10 Gbps throughput without packet loss, flexible copper-to-fiber conversion via a pluggable SFP+ slot, and extended reach using multimode or single-mode transceivers. Its rugged IP30 metal housing, DIN-rail or wall-mount options and wide operating temperature range enable deployment in demanding industrial and transportation environments. Redundant DC power inputs with wide voltage support and built-in ESD and surge protection increase system availability and safeguard network equipment.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit backbone extension between copper and fiber
• Data center uplinks and enterprise backbone links
• Industrial automation networks and factory floor connectivity
• Transportation systems, roadside cabinets and surveillance networks

How to use

Install the IXT-705AT on a DIN rail or mount it to a wall in a suitable enclosure. Insert a compatible SFP+ transceiver into the SFP+ slot and connect the fiber cable to the remote fiber link. Connect the copper-side device to the RJ45 port using an appropriate Ethernet cable (Cat6a/Cat7 recommended for 10GBASE-T). Provide power via the DC power inputs (use redundant power sources if required) and verify status LEDs for link, power and alarms. Configure connected network equipment as needed; the media converter operates at wire speed and does not require additional configuration.

Recommendations

For reliable 10 Gbps copper-to-fiber links, use certified 10G SFP+ transceivers and quality fiber cabling suitable for the required distance (multimode for up to ~300 m, single-mode for longer spans). Use proper surge and grounding practices in industrial or outdoor installations and deploy redundant power to maximize uptime.
