PLANET XT-705A 10Gbps 60km SFP+ Media Converter

Struggling with network bottlenecks and limited reach? The PLANET XT-705A 10Gbps 60km SFP+ Media Converter bridges copper and fiber, turning a standard Ethernet port into a high-speed, long-distance link so you can keep data flowing without costly rewiring.

Benefits of PLANET Media Converter

You gain reliable, wire-speed transfer that eliminates packet loss, giving you confidence during peak traffic. The low 3.75 W power draw reduces operating costs and heat, while robust ESD and surge protection safeguards your infrastructure. Its compact metal chassis fits neatly in racks or on DIN rails, freeing up valuable space. Easy plug-and-play setup means you spend less time configuring and more time working.

Key Features of a 10Gbps Media Converter

• Auto-negotiation port: 10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100BASE-T. Adjusts automatically to the fastest speed your network supports.
• SFP+ slot: 10GBASE-X compatible. Accepts SR or LR transceivers for flexible fiber choices.
• Internal fabric: 20 Gbps. Handles large data bursts without slowing down.
• Jumbo frames: 16000 bytes. Allows bigger packets for efficient data transfer.
• Ethernet interface types: 2.5 GbE, 5 GbE, 10 GbE, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet. Works with a wide range of network speeds.
• Power consumption: 26 W typical. Keeps energy use modest even under full load.
• Dimensions: 26 mm H × 70 mm D × 94 mm W. Fits comfortably in tight rack spaces.
• Weight: 180 g. Light enough for easy handling yet sturdy.
• Operating temperature: 0 - 50 °C. Reliable performance in typical data-center conditions.
• Certifications: FCC Part 15 Class A, CE. Meets recognised safety and emission standards.

Usages of a 10Gbps Media Converter

Integrate it wherever you need to extend Ethernet over long distances:

• Connecting server rooms to remote switch farms up to 60 km away.
• Linking campus buildings with single-mode fiber for high-speed campus backbones.
• Upgrading legacy copper links in data-center racks without replacing cabling.
• Providing a reliable bridge for cloud-computing nodes that require 10 Gbps throughput.
• Adding a modular unit to a PLANET chassis for centralized power and management.

Why Choose a PLANET Media Converter

Many buyers worry about compatibility, thinking a media converter might only work with one type of fiber or speed. They also fear high power draw and complex installation. These concerns often lead to over-specifying or buying multiple devices.

The PLANET XT-705A 10Gbps 60km SFP+ Media Converter removes that doubt. Its auto-negotiating Ethernet port and SFP+ slot accept both multi-mode and single-mode transceivers, covering distances from 300 m to 60 km. Low power consumption and built-in ESD/surge protection keep operating costs down and protect your network. Whether mounted on a DIN rail, wall, or inside a chassis, it offers a tidy, reliable solution for any high-speed Ethernet extension.
