Planet - GT-802S60 - 10/100/1000BASE-T to 1000BASE-LX Gigabit Converter (SC Single Mode, 60km)

Product Overview

The Planet GT-802S60 is a Gigabit media converter that bridges 10/100/1000BASE-T copper to 1000BASE-LX fiber via an SC single-mode connector, operating at 1310nm with a maximum transmission distance of 60km. It features Link Fault Passthrough (LFP) with LLCF and LLR functions for link failure notification, a DIP switch for enabling or disabling LFP, support for jumbo frames up to 9K bytes, and is housed in a compact metal chassis suitable for standalone or media chassis installation.

Key Configuration

• Copper port: 1 × 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 (auto MDI/MDI-X).
• Fiber port: 1 × SC single-mode, 1310 nm, up to 60 km distance.
• Launch power: -3 dBm max, -9.5 dBm min.
• Receive sensitivity: -20 dBm; maximum input power: -3 dBm.
• Power: 5V DC, 2A; power consumption: 4.6W max.
• Dimensions: 70 × 97 × 26 mm; weight: 0.2 kg.

Key Features

The Planet GT-802S60 is a Gigabit media converter that converts 10/100/1000BASE-T copper to 1000BASE-LX fiber, featuring a single-mode SC interface at 1310nm with a maximum distance of 60km over 9/125μm fiber. The RJ45 port supports auto-MDI/MDI-X and 10/100/1000Mbps auto-negotiation over Cat5/5e/6 up to 100m, and the unit supports jumbo frames up to 9K bytes.

Technical Context

The converter includes a DIP switch to enable or disable Link Fault Passthrough (LFP), which combines LLCF and LLR functions: LLCF disables the fibre transmit link when the copper link fails, while LLR disables the fiber transmit link when the fiber link is lost, ensuring both ends detect failures for fast network troubleshooting. LED indicators show PWR, TP link/activity, 1000Mbps speed, and fibre link/activity status.

Installation Notes

The compact metal housing (70 × 97 × 26 mm, 0.2kg) operates from 0–50°C with 5–95% RH and stores from -10–70°C, powered by a 5V/2A DC adapter (sold separately). It supports standalone use or installation into Planet MC-700, MC-1500, MC-1500R, or MC-1500R48 media chassis, and carries FCC Class A, CE Class A, and TAA compliance.
