The iConverter GX/X managed two-port Gigabit Ethernet switch and fiber converter is a member of the modular iConverter product family. The GX/X provides single-mode to multimode fiber conversion for extending network distances up to 12km by connecting multimode fiber network devices over singlemode fiber cabling. The GX/X also functions as a repeater, regenerate and re-time the fiber optic signal. Multiple GX/X modules can be cascaded to extend total network distances.
iConverter GX/X models support multimode and single-mode dual fiber with SC and LC connectors; and single-mode singlefiber with SC connectors. The iConverter GX/X 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/X advanced features include IEEE 802.1Q VLAN and 802.1p Quality of Service prioritization standards, and Port Access Control, which provides the ability to enable or disable individual ports to control delivery of services. The GX/X also supports port-level MIB statistics reporting realtime packet statistics to provide performance and operational monitoring.
The GX/X features user-selectable Link Propagate, Link Segment, Remote Fault Detection and Symmetrical Fault Detection modes to facilitate quick fault detection, isolation and reporting.

iConverter GX/X modules are hot-swappable and can be mounted in a 19-Module (2U high) or 5-Module (1U high) rackmountable chassis (19-inch or 23-inch) with redundant AC, 24VDC or 48VDC power supplies. They can also be mounted in a 2-Module AC or 18 to 60VDC powered chassis, or in a 1-Module AC or DC powered chassis.
