Planet GT-1205A Gigabit Media Converter Review

The Planet GT-1205A Gigabit Media Converter is a versatile and convenient solution for expanding your network infrastructure. This device, compatible with IEEE standards, offers plug-and-play installation, making setup a breeze. Whether you’re a home user or a business looking to expand your network, this media converter delivers quick and easy integration into your existing setup.

One standout feature of the GT-1205A is its adaptability. It can function as a standalone unit or slide seamlessly into PLANET’s Media Converter Chassis, MC-700 and MC-1500 series. This flexibility allows for centralized management of your fiber-optic network and even provides DC power to the converter, ensuring a streamlined setup.

The built-in DIP switch on the GT-1205A allows you to configure it as a 3-port Ethernet switch or a 2-port Redundant Media Converter. In 3-port switch mode, it operates using a Store-and-Forward mechanism for high performance. In 2-port redundant mode, it offers rapid fiber redundancy for highly critical Ethernet applications and includes an auto-recovering function for added reliability.

The GT-1205A’s versatility is further enhanced by its dual Gigabit SFP slots, which support conversion between 10/100/1000BASE-T and 1000BASE-X networks. This feature allows for easy and efficient connection of Ethernet signals using single-mode or multi-mode media modules, or a combination of both. With the GT-1205A, you’ll enjoy high reliability and flexibility to extend your media transmission distance up to 550m+.

As with all products sold by Versa Technology, the Planet GT-1205A Gigabit Media Converter comes with a robust 2-year warranty for peace of mind and assurance of quality.
