Product Category: Web Smart / Smart Fast Ethernet Media Converter

FT-90x Series

PLANET FT-90x Web Smart Media Converter series supports conversion between 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX network. There are SC/SFP/WDM connectors and single-mode/multi-mode media for your needs. The Ethernet signal allows two types of segments to connect easily, efficiently and inexpensively. This converter can be used as a stand-alone unit or as a slide-in module to PLANET Media Converter Chassis (MC-700, MC-1500 and MC-1500R / MC-1500R48).

Each Web Smart converter is able to manage through the Web interface. The powerful Web Smart Media Converter supports flow control, QoS, bandwidth control and ingress/egress rate control, etc. The statistics functions of the Web Smart converter help administrators to remotely analyse and count the packet flow of the current Ethernet link. Management function helps reduce the amount of valuable time that a network administrator spends detecting and locating network problems, otherwise it requires visual inspection of cabling and equipment.

The Web Smart function also includes the LLR and Loop Back Test. LLR can immediately alarm administrators the problem of the link media and provide efficient solution to monitoring the net. It provides more flexible settings for converters.

FST-80x Series

Distance Extended with Fiber Optic Cable
PLANET FST-80x Smart Media Converter series provides media conversion between 10/100BASE-TX and 100BASE-FX interfaces, such as multi-mode ST/SC connectors (2km), single-mode SC connector (15/35/50km) and single fiber connector using the wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) technology (20/60km) to enable to extend links over long distances using fiber optic cable.
Enhanced Smart Management Features
The FST-80x series provides auto MDI/MDI-X on their TP port and store-and-forward mechanism to eliminate faulty packets. Use the DIP switch from the FST-80x to configure the available smart functions, such as the half/full duplex, auto-negotiation / force and 10/100Mbps options for TP and fiber interfaces. Besides, the Link Loss Return (LLR) and Link Loss Carry Forward (LLCF) functions can immediately alarm network administrator once there is a media link issue, thus helping to monitor the status of the entire network.
Easy Installation
The FST-80x series can be connected easily and cost-effectively as these smart media converters can be used as a standalone unit when powered on by its DC adapter, or used as a slide-in module connected to PLANET 19-inch, 16-slot web smart/managed media converter chassis (MC-1600MR/MC-1600MR48 and MC-1610MR/MC-1610MR48). When working with the web smart/managed media converter chassis, the status of the FST-80x can be monitored via the local RS-232 console and remote web interface.
