GX/F
1000X to 100FX Managed Ethernet Media Converter / Repeater
The iConverter GX/F managed media converter is a member
of the modular iConverter product family. The GX/F provides
single-mode to multimode fiber conversion and rate conversion
between 1000BASE-X and 100BASE-FX.
The iConverter GX/F extends network distances by connecting
The iConverter GX/F extends network distances by connecting
multimode fiber network devices over single-mode fiber cabling.
It regenerates and retimes the fiber optic signal, and multiple
GX/F repeaters can be cascaded to extend total network
distances. The GX/F converts between Gigabit Ethernet fiber
and Fast Ethernet fiber enabling seamless integration between
Gigabit Ethernet and legacy Fast Ethernet networks.
iConverter GX/F models are available with multimode, single-
iConverter GX/F models are available with multimode, single-
mode, and single-fiber options with SC and LC connectors.
The iConverter GX/F features two 10/100 Ethernet backplane
ports to provide connectivity to adjacent modules for network
expansion and for in-band connectivity to an iConverter
Network Management Module.
The iConverter GX/F supports the IEEE 802.1Q and 802.1p
The iConverter GX/F supports the IEEE 802.1Q and 802.1p
standards, and the 802.1Q Tag VLAN packet tagging and
untagging protocol.
Whether the GX/F is deployed at the customer premises (CP)
Whether the GX/F is deployed at the customer premises (CP)
or at the Central Office (CO), the VLAN technology enables
Service Providers to offer their customers secure Ethernet
Virtual Connections which are isolated from other customer’s
data as well as from the Service Provider’s management
traffic. It also enables the Service Provider to deploy edge
equipment at the customer premises while maintaining secure
separation of Service Provider network management and
customer data traffic flows, providing intrusion protection to
the Service Provider.
The GX/F features Port VLAN, which allows complete control
The GX/F features Port VLAN, which allows complete control
of traffic flow between both fiber ports and chassis backplane
ports on a module, and Port Access Control, which facilitates
enabling and disabling of individual ports. The GX/F also
supports reporting of MIB statistics. Statistics are available for
32 variables per port, reporting a wide range of real-time packet
statistics to provide performance and operational monitoring.
The GX/F features user-selectable Link Propagate, Link
The GX/F features user-selectable Link Propagate, Link
Segment, Remote Fault Detection and Symmetrical Fault
Detection modes to facilitate quick fault detection, isolation
and reporting.
