914-GBE

GIGABIT ETHERNET (GbE) MEDIA CONVERTER

The model 914-GBE Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter converts 10/100/1000 BASE-T(X) Ethernet from a single RJ-45 to optics, and vice versa, all within a small credit-card size form-factor. The 914-GBE may be used as a standalone card or optically integrated into a 914 system stack via CWDM modules. Optical power budgets are typically 20-24 dB over 10 km of singlemode fiber. Diagnostics are provided by on-board LEDs for power, optical, and data link status. A 12-pin header is also provided to drive LED diagnostics on a front panel or enclosure of a system.
