PLANET XT-715A 10GBASE-T to 10GBASE-X SFP+ Media Converter

Flexible and Reliable 10G Network Distance Extension Solution

PLANET XT-715A Media Converter, adopting the IEEE 802.3bz/an/ae Ethernet standard technology, is equipped with one 2.5G/5G/10GBASE-T auto-negotiation port and one 10GBASE-X SFP+ slot. It supports 10Gigabit Ethernet media conversion from copper 10GBASE-T to fiber multi-mode or single-mode transmission, utilizing a 10GBASE-SR or 10GBASE-LR SFP+ transceiver placed in the SFP+ slot to extend distances where servers and switches can be reached. The deployment distance can be extended from 300 meters (multi-mode fiber cable) to 2/10/20/40/60/70/80 kilometers (single-mode fiber cable). They are designed for use in network environments where the ultra-high bandwidth provided by 10Gigabit Ethernet is required, for example, data center cloud computing, enterprise backbones, campus networks, and carrier infrastructure.

High Performance 10Gbps Ethernet Capacity

The XT-715A offers wire-speed packets transfer performance without the risk of packet loss. The high data throughput of the device makes it ideal for most Gigabit environments. With a 20Gbps internal fabric,16K jumbo frame feature and auto negotiation support in its 10 Gigabit port, the XT-715A can handle extremely large amounts of data transmission in a secure topology linking to data center cloud computing, enterprise backbones or high capacity servers, campus networks, and carrier infrastructure.

10G Fiber-optic Linking Capability Enables Extension of Network Deployment

The SFP+ slot of the XT-715A is compatible with 10GBASE-SR or 10GBASE-LR (Small Form Factor Pluggable) 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 2/10/20/40/60/70/80 kilometers (single-mode fiber cable). It is ideal for applications within the data centers and distributions

Low Power Consumption for Energy Savings

The XT-715A adopting the advanced chip technology has the power-saving feature that has a low power consumption of only 5.3 watts when in full operation.

Used as Standalone Unit or With Chassis

The XT-715A Media Converter can be used as a standalone unit or as a slide-in module to the PLANET Media Converter Chassis (MC-700 and MC-1500 chassis series). The media chassis can assist in providing DC power to the XT-715A Media Converter to maintain the fiber-optic network in one centralized location. It can be DIN-rail or wall mounted for efficient use of cabinet space.
