1.2 Product Overview
Flexible and Reliable Network Distance Extension Solution
PLANET XT-705A Media Converter is equipped with one
10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100BASE-T auto-negotiation port and
one 10GBASE-X SFP+ slot. It supports 10Gigabit Ethernet
media conversion from copper 10GBASE-T to ber multi-mode
or single-mode, utilizing 10GBASE-SR or 10GBASE-LR SFP+
transceiver installed in the SFP+ slot to extend distances to
servers, switches and patch panels. The deployment distance
can be extended from 300 meters (multi-mode) to up to 60
kilometers (single-mode).They are designed for use in network
environments where the ultra-high bandwidth provided by
10Gigabit Ethernet is required, for example, data center cloud
computing, enterprise backbones, campus networks, and carrier
infrastructure.
High Performance 10Gbps Ethernet Capacity
The XT-705A offers wire-speed packets transfer performance
without risk of packet loss. The high data throughput of the
device makes it ideal for most Gigabit environments. With a
20Gbps internal fabric and featuring auto negotiation support
in its 10 Gigabit port, the XT-705A Media Converter can
handle large amounts of data in a secure topology linking to a
backbone or high capacity servers.
Fiber-optic Linking Capability Enables Extension of
Network Deployment
The SFP+ slot of the XT-705AT is compatible with 10GBASE-SR
or 10GBASE-LR (Small Form Factor Pluggable) ber-optic
transceivers. The ber optic uplink capability guarantees the
throughput to all nodes hooked into the network and the 10
Gigabit Ethernet distance can be extended from 300 meters
(multi-mode ber cable) to 10/40/60 kilometers (single-mode

7
ber cable). It is ideal for applications within the data centers
and distributions.
Easy Chassis Installation
The XT-705A Media Converter can be used as a stand-alone
unit or as a slide-in module to the PLANET Media Converter
Chassis (MC-700 and MC-1500 chassis series). The media
chassis can assist in providing DC power to the XT-705A Media
Converter to maintain the ber-optic network at one centralized
location. It can be DIN-rail or wall mounted for efcient use of
cabinet space.
Low Power Consumption
The XT-705A adopting the advanced chip technology has the
power-saving feature like a low power consumption of only 3.75
watts when in full operation.
