Omnitron Systems iConverter Gx AN Transceiver/Media Converter

About the Omnitron Systems iConverter Gx AN

The iConverter Gx AN is a 1000BASE-T copper to 1000BASE-X fiber media converter, and is available as a compact unmanaged standalone unit or a managed chassis plug-in module.

The RJ-45 port supports auto-negotiation or forced negotiation of duplex modes and pause capability. The fiber port supports both manual or auto-negotiation.

The iConverter Gx AN features user-selectable link fault detection modes, including Link Propagate, Link Segment and Remote Fault Detection. These Link Modes provide rapid fault detection and isolation by monitoring the state of the cabling hardware, and operate independently of the network management.

Fixed-fiber connectors are available with multimode (MM) dual fiber, single-mode (SM) dual fiber and single-mode single-fiber (SF) options. They support ST, SC and LC connectors with distances up to 220/550m over MM fiber, 140km over SM fiber and 40km over SF. The Gx AN Small Form Pluggable (SFP) model supports a wide variety of 1000BASE-X SFP transceivers.

The hot-swappable plug-in module can be mounted in a 19 or 5-Module 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.

The Gx AN standalone unit is available as a tabletop or wallmount unit. The tabletop model can be DIN-rail mounted using an optional DIN-rail mounting kit. Both the tabletop and the wall-mount models are DC powered and are available with an external AC to DC power adapter or a terminal connector for DC power.
