The miConverter S/GXT and S/GXT+ are Gigabit fibre to 10/100/1000BAse-T media converters, designed for applications where compact size, light weight and low power are critical requirements.
Roughly the length of a standard house key, and weighing less than 75 grams, the MiConverter S-Series can be easily installed in tight places with no concerns.
These ultra-compact media converters can be USB powered, making them ideal for field deployed fibre to the laptop and military applications where AC power is unavailable.
For applications not using USB power, the converter is also available with an AC/DC power adapter.
The S-Series supports 1000Base-X fixed fibre ports with SC or ST connectors, with multi-mode, single-mode and single-fibre options. It also supports 1000Base-X SFP modules, giving you maximum flexibility, including CWDM technology to increase the bandwidth capacity of the fibre infrastructure.
Via the RJ-45 port, the S series delivers plug and play setup, with speed, duplex mode and cross over functions all auto-negotiated.
Fault detection and troubleshooting options are provided – the S/GXT port operates in Link Segment (LS) mode which enables quick identification of any failed segment of a network’s cabling or equipment. In this mode, each of the converters ports detects and displays link status independently of the status of the other ports. As a result, a loss of link due to cable failure is seen on the port, providing immediate identification of the fault location.
The units are available in different temperature ratings – please see the specifications table for full details.
Fibre to the Laptop
The miConverter S-Series Media Converter connects to the laptop using 2 cables.
The USB cable provides power from the USB port of the laptop, and the UTP cable provides connectivity from the laptop and the copper port on the converter.
The converter then provides 10/100/1000Base-T UTP to 1000Base-X fibre conversion, extending the fibre link up to 34km.
