Chapter 1 OVERVIEW

Thank you for choosing the Smart 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-

FX Media Converter, The Media Converter introduced here

provides one channel media conversion between 10/100Base-TX

and 100Base-FX.

About the Redundant Media Converter

The FT-1105A and FT-1205A are 3-Port Redundant Media

Converters which support conversion between 10/100Base-

TX and 100Base-FX network. Different with the other one-port

channel media converter, the Redundant Media Converters are

designed for critical networks that require ber or copper link

auto recover less than 10ms, such as ISP, telecom, hospital,

banking and enterprise. The two models of PLANET Redundant

Media converter as following:

● FT-1105A: 10/100Base-TX copper to two 100Base-FX ber

link redundancy

● FT-1205A: 100Base-FX to two 10/100Base-TX copper link

redundancy

Via the built-in DIP-switches, the two models can be congured

as 3-Port Ethernet switch or 2-Port Redundant media converter.

With the 3-Port switch mode, they work in high performance

Store and Forward mechanism, also can prevent packet loss

with IEEE 802.3x Flow Control (Full-Duplex) and Back Pressure

(Half-Duplex).

With 2-Port redundant Mode, it provides less than 10ns

link redundancy for highly critical Ethernet applications.

The redundant-mode supports auto-recover function. If the

destination port of a packet is link down, it forwards the packet

to the other port of the backup pair.

The Redundant Media Converters - FT-1105A and FT-1205A,

support conversion between 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX

network. The SFP slot supports single-mode, multi-mode and

WDM small-form factory type transceiver modules for your

needs. With 100Base-FX SFP ports, the FT-1105A and FT-1205A

are with high reliability and exibility to extend the distance up

to 2Km, 20Km, or longer. It depends on the 100Base-FX SFP

transceiver modules.

Ethernet signal that allows two type segments connect easily,

efciently and inexpensively.

The converters can be used as a stand-alone unit or as a slide-

in module to the PLANET Media Converter Chassis (MC-700,

MC-1000R and MC-1500). As the other PLAENT FT-Series

media converters, they’re hot swappable in MC-Chassis.

Chapter 2 PRODUCT FEATURES

Standard

100Base-FX

• IEEE 802.3x Full-Duplex Flow-Control, Back-Pressure in Half-

Duplex eliminate packets loss

Interface

• FT-1105A: Dual 10/100Base-TX Copper, One 100Base-FX SFP

Fiber optic

● FT-1205A: Dual 100Base-FX SFP Fiber optic, One

10/100Base-TX Copper

● Auto-Negotiation for 10/100Base-TX Half-Duplex or Full-

Duplex

● Supports Auto MDI/MDI-X function

● Supports Maximum frame size up to 2046Kbytes.

Redundancy

● Link status auto detect and redundant on Dual ports with

same connector type.

● Only Primary-Port is active at a time, the Backup-Port is

blocked.

● While Primary-Port link fail occur, the trafc swap to Backup-

Port automatically.

● Once the Primary-Port status back to link up, the trafc swap

from Backup-Port to Primary-Port.

● Hardware redundant swap less than 10 ms.

Mechanical

● External 5V/2A DC power supply

● LED indicators for easy network diagnose

● DIP Switch for 3-Port operation with Fast Ethernet switch

mode or Redundant mode

● DIP switch for LPR (Loop back Reply) on / off selection

● Compact size, easy installation

● Co-work with PLANET MC family Media Chassis (MC-

700/1000R/1500)
