Network Media Converter PLANET IGT-805AT

The PLANET IGT-805AT is an industrial Gigabit media converter designed to extend Ethernet networks over copper and fiber in harsh environments. It features one 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 port and one 100/1000BASE-X SFP slot housed in an IP30 metal case with redundant power inputs and support for extended operating temperatures from -40 to 75 °C. The device supports jumbo frames up to 9K and provides wire-speed, non-blocking performance for connecting surveillance systems, control equipment or backbone links to high-capacity servers.

Advantages

The IGT-805AT combines industrial-grade durability with flexible fiber options through its dual-speed SFP slot, allowing selection of 100BASE-FX or 1000BASE-SX/LX transceivers. Its compact IP30 metal enclosure offers electromagnetic immunity and resistance to electrical surges, while the redundant DC power inputs and wide input voltage range (12–48 V DC or 24 V AC) improve reliability. Built-in link fault pass-through (LLCF and LLR) and auto MDI/MDI-X simplify management and speed up fault detection.

Suitable for

• Extending Gigabit Ethernet and connecting copper to fiber links
• Industrial surveillance and video transmission
• Connecting control systems and wireless access equipment in outdoor cabinets or plant floors
• Linking to backbone or high-power servers where long-distance fiber is required

How to use

Install the IGT-805AT on a DIN rail or mount it on a wall inside an appropriate cabinet. Insert the desired SFP transceiver (100BASE-FX or 1000BASE-SX/LX) into the SFP slot, then connect the fiber cable and the copper RJ45 cable to the corresponding ports. Provide power using the DC inputs (connect redundant supplies if required) or the supported AC input. The device supports auto MDI/MDI-X, so standard patch or straight-through cables can be used. Monitor link status and faults through the link fault pass-through behavior to quickly identify media failures.

Recommendations

Use SFP transceivers that match required distance and fiber type (multi-mode or single-mode). For critical installations, employ redundant power sources and enable link fault pass-through monitoring to ensure fast detection of link failures. Place the unit in a protected cabinet when possible to reduce exposure to extreme mechanical stress.
