Fiber-optic Redundant Link
The redundancy back-up and error tolerance capability of the link can be greatly improved to guarantee the network stability. The redundant link is designed for critical ISP, telecom, hospital, bank and enterprise networks that require fiber or copper links to rapidly recover automatically. If the master converter link is down, it will forward the packet to the slave converter’s port of the backup pair.
Monitoring of Temperature and Fan Status
The Managed Media Converter Chassis is equipped with temperature sensor and cooling fans to ensure reliable operation. Whenever the abnormal temperature is detected or cooling fan stops, the Managed Media Converter Chassis would display related information on the Web management interface. Therefore, it helps the administrator to efficiently manage the media converter operation.
Flexibility and Extension
The MC-1610MR series allows the connection of up to 16 PLANET Smart Fast/Gigabit Ethernet Converters in one chassis. With an independent power supply on each slot of the MC-1610MR series, any converter is hot-swappable without causing an interruption to other converters. Each bay of the Media Converter Chassis can be populated with PLANET’s Smart Media Converters. PLANET FST-80x and GST-80x Smart Media Converter series provides media conversion between copper and FX, and SX and LX optical models for distance from 220m and to 120km.
The SFP+ slot of the XST-705AT is compatible with 10GBASE-SR or 10GBASE-LR fiber-optic transceivers. The fiber optic uplink capability guarantees the throughput to all nodes hooked into the network and the 10 Gigabit Ethernet distance can be extended from 300 meters (multi-mode fiber cable) to 10/20/40/60/80 kilometers (single-mode fiber cable). It is ideal for applications within the data centers and distributions.
With PLANET complete Smart Media converter products, the MC-1610MR series is an efficient, cost-effective and scalable solution for any large-scale networks.
