iConverter® 10GXT
10/100/1000BASE T to 1000/10G Fibre Media Converter
The iConverter 10GXT is a 10/100/1000Base-T copper to 1000Base-X or 10Base-R fibre media converter, available as a compact, unmanaged standalone unit, supporting jumbo frames up to 10,056 bytes.
The iConverter is used to convert 10/100/1000 copper to Gigabit Ethernet Fibre or 10G Ethernet Fibre.
Supporting 1000BASE-X or 10GBASE-R SFP/SFP+ (Small Form Pluggable) transceivers or 10GBASE-X XFP transceivers, the iConverter 10GXT enables adaptivity to different fibre types and distances, whilst supporting CWDM (Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing) and DWDN (Dense Wave Division Multiplexing) technologies to increase the bandwidth capacity of the fibre infrastructure.
The RJ-45 port supports 10/100/1000 and Half-Full-Duplex auto-negotiation with hardware manual override controls.
User-selectable Link Propagation and Link Segment modes are also featured to facilitate quick fault detection, isolation and reporting.
The iConverter 10GXT is available as a standalone unit with or without integrated mounting brackets.
The 10GXT is DC powered and can be ordered with an external AC to DC power adapter, or 2-pin terminal connector for direct DC voltages up to 16VDC, and can be DIN-Rail mounted using the optional DIN-Rail mounting clips.

In this example, the iConverter 10GXT media converters are deployed in a star topology network with fibre links distributed from a central location.
Building A has a 10G fibre switch, providing multiple fibre links to the remote buildings.
Buildings B and C have iConverter 10GXT media converters providing 10/100/1000 copper connectivity to existing copper Ethernet switches in each building.
The iConverter 10GXT supports Link Modes, which are used to provide network notification of fibre and copper faults.
Link failures on any port are propagated to managed network switches, notifying network admins of link failure.
