907-GBE2 Media Converter

Dual Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter 907-GBE2 Media Converter

The Model 907-GBE2 is a Dual Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) Media Converter.  This PC/104 card offers two independent 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet ports (RJ-45) while maintaining the use of a single optical transceiver.  This is the ideal solution for multi-beam sonar devices running “dual head” configurations, or any application that requires simultaneous yet dedicated point-to-point “switchless” connections over fiber. The 907-GBE2 may be used as a standalone card or optically integrated into a 907 system stack via CWDM modules.  Optical power budgets are typically 20 - 26 dB over 10 km of singlemode fiber.  Enhanced diagnostics are provided by on-board LEDs and through a dedicated Ethernet link when used with the diagnostics card (907-DIAG-E) and corresponding graphical user interface (GUI) software.

Features

  • Two independent (switchless) 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet links
  • Single optical transceiver running with 2500, 1250 or 625 Mbaud
    optical link (switch settable)
  • Wavelength selectable/interchangeable SFP transceivers
  • Rugged design for marine environment, including 6000 psi
    pressure tolerant version
  • Diagnostics embedded in optical link for remote access

Benefits

  • Reduces cost and size by replacing two GbE media converters with a single card and single optical transceiver
  • Switchless design provides low latency and compatibility
    with non-standard packets often used by sonars and other proprietary data link
  • Supports operation over multimode fiber with lower optical rate settings
  • Supports a wide range of optical options, including CWDM wavelengths for combining multiple cards on a single optical fiber
  • Simplifies troubleshooting with remote diagnostics and GUI
