Network Media Converter PLANET GT-802S

The PLANET GT-802S is a compact gigabit media converter that provides conversion between 10/100/1000BASE-T and 1000BASE-LX fiber networks. It features one RJ45 1000Base-T port and one SC 1000Base-LX fiber port with a 1310 nm wavelength, supporting distances up to 100,000 m. The unit supports standard IEEE 802.3 protocols, consumes 5.6 W, and is suitable for extending Ethernet links over long-distance fiber with reliable, standards-compliant performance.

Advantages

The GT-802S delivers stable Gigabit Ethernet over fiber with low power consumption and compact dimensions. It supports auto MDI/MDI-X on the TP port and a DIP switch to enable Link Fault Passthrough (LFP) with LLCF and LLR functions for prompt link fault detection. The device is FCC and CE Class A certified and can operate as a standalone unit or as a slide-in module for 19-inch PLANET media chassis.

Suitable for

• Extending Ethernet networks over single-mode fiber for long-distance connections
• Connecting remote servers, switches or network equipment between buildings or data rooms
• Integrating copper-based LAN segments with 1000BASE-LX fiber backbone links

• Color: Black; Weight: 0.2 kg

How to use

Connect the copper network device to the RJ45 port and the single-mode fiber cable to the SC fiber port. Power the GT-802S using its DC adapter for standalone operation or insert it into a compatible PLANET 19-inch media converter chassis to supply power and centralized management. Configure the DIP switch to enable or disable the Link Fault Passthrough feature as required. No additional software is necessary; the unit operates as a plug-and-play converter compliant with IEEE standards.

Recommendations

The GT-802S is intended for indoor use in controlled environments; install in ventilated racks or chassis and use clean, properly terminated fiber connectors. Enable LFP (LLCF/LLR) for environments where rapid link fault detection is required, and verify compatibility of fiber type and connector standards before deployment.
