Media Converter for Gigabit Ethernet

The PLANET GT-806A15 converts 10/100/1000Base-T copper links to 1000Base-LX single-mode fibre using WDM technology. It serves network installers who need to extend a Gigabit connection up to 15 km over a single fibre strand.

Distance and Frame Limits

The converter supports a maximum reach of 15 km on 9/125 µm single-mode cable and handles jumbo frames up to 9K bytes. Multi-mode fibre is limited to 220 m or 550 m depending on core size, so longer runs require single-mode infrastructure.

Upgrade from Copper-Only Links

It replaces direct copper runs that cannot exceed 100 m, letting you bridge buildings or campuses without repeaters. The step up is worthwhile when the link distance surpasses the copper limit and a single-fibre WDM pair fits the existing cable plant.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the GT-806A15 or another model in the GT-80x series for a 15 km single-fiber link?

The GT-806A15 is the only model in the series specified for 15 km over a single-fiber WDM link; other models target different distances or dual-fiber connectors.

What does the 15 km figure mean when the converter is installed in a rack?

It is the maximum reach on 9/125 µm single-mode fiber when the optical link budget of 12 dB is met; actual distance depends on splice loss and patch-cord attenuation in the installed plant.

Which interface standard caps the fiber port speed in practice?

The fiber port follows IEEE 802.3z 1000Base-LX, so the line rate is fixed at 1000 Mbps full-duplex regardless of the copper side negotiating at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps.
