Lantronix AP-GET-SFP-01 – Gigabit Ethernet Embedded Media Converter

The AP-GET-SFP-01 is a 10/100/1000 Ethernet media converter that provides cost effective, entry-level media conversion between 10/100/1000Base-T ports and 100/1000Base-X fiber ports. Designed as an embedded solution that can be mounted internally in Tempest rated computer and networking equipment such as VoIP Phones, Workstations, Thin Clients, Printers, Monitors and similar devices. Government agencies like Intelligence, Defense, and Foreign Affairs generally require fiber connectivity to these devices to aid in data security as well as mitigating electromagnetic emissions. The converter should be positioned such that the copper connection is internal to the device it is mounted within, while the fiber is the only port accessible externally. With its fixed configuration, deployments are plug-and-play and the hot-swappable dual speed SFP slot supports autosensing 100Mbps or 1000Mbps SFP transceivers. Transition Networks offers a wide variety of SFP optical transceivers to meet specific deployment environments supporting either multimode or single mode fiber. The copper port and power input share a connection through a 10-Pin interface via a PH Connector. Pins 1 and 2 are used to provide the internal power connection, while pins 3 through 10 are used for the 10/100/1000 Ethernet connection. This converter is an ideal solution for fiber integration in both Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet environments, along with its small size; it is perfect for locations where space is limited.
