Omnitron miConverter GX/T 1231-2-6 User Manual

The external AC power supply is available in US, Universal 

and Country/Region specific models. Country/Region specific

models feature optional interchangeable connectors, allowing 

for compatibility with electrical outlet types found around the 

world.  The GX/T is also available with a terminal connector 

for DC power between 5 to 12 volts.  
The  miConverter

  GX/T  can  be  mounted  in  the  miConverter 

18-Module Power Chassis to consolidate individual modules 

into  a  rack-mount  form  factor  that  can  be  deployed  where 

multiple  fiber  optic  links  are  distributed  from  UTP  switch

equipment.  The chassis powers converter modules with barrel-

style DC connectors, and is available with a single universal 

AC, 24VDC or 48VDC internal power supply.  This compact, 

high-density chassis is 1.5 rack units high, and can be mounted 

in a standard 19” or 23” equipment rack.
Weighing less than 5 oz. with the USB Power Adapter Cable, 

the miConverter

 GX/T can easily fit into any pocket or laptop

carrying case.  It can also be attached to portable equipment 

using the included Velcro

®

 strips or wall-mounted using the 

optional wall-mounting bracket kit.

miConverter GX/T

 

The application diagram depicts a laptop computer connected 

to a fiber network.

The miConverter GX/T connects to the laptop via two cables.  

The USB Power Adapter Cable powers the miConverter GX/T 

by drawing electrical current from the USB port (1.0 or 2.0) of 

the laptop.  The UTP cable links the laptop network port and 

the miConverter GX/T copper port.  The GX/T converts the 

10/100/1000BASE-T UTP signal to a 1000BASE-X fiber signal,

which can extend the fiber link up to 140km. Power from the

USB port of the computer is automatically shut off when the 

computer is powered down, turning off the miConverter GX/T 

when fiber conversion is no longer needed.
The cost-effective miConverter GX/T is ideal for connecting  

large  numbers  of  workstations  in  unmanaged  fiber-to-the-

desktop  Gigabit  Enterprise  network  applications.    These 

applications  can  include  remote  edge  locations  where 

power outlets are at a premium, such as portable, temporary 

facilities.  The miConverter GX/T is also an excellent solution 

for construction and military fiber-to-the-laptop applications

where Gigabit fiber connectivity is required and local power

is not available.
