PLANET - GT-806A60 - 10/100/1000Base-TX to 1000Base-FX WDM Bi-directional Media Converter (SM, WDM, 1310nm, 60km)

Product Overview

The Planet GT-806A60 is a bi-directional WDM media converter converting 10/100/1000Base-TX copper to 1000Base-FX fibre over a single SC connector using WDM technology (TX:1310nm, RX:1550nm) for distances up to 60km. Features Link Fault Pass Through (LFP) DIP switch, OAM TS-1000 terminal support for remote failure indication, loopback test, port status monitoring, and 9K jumbo frame support. TAA compliant.

Key Configuration

• Copper Port: 1 × 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 (auto-MDI/MDI-X)
• Fibre Port: 1 × SC single-mode WDM (TX 1310 nm / RX 1550 nm)
• Distance: Up to 60 km over 9/125 μm single-mode fibre
• Optics: +5 dBm max launch power, -25 to -2 dBm receive range, 25 dB link budget
• Power: 5V DC, 2A; max consumption 4.6W
• Size: 26 × 70 × 97 mm
• Weight: 0.2 kg

Key Features

WDM technology enables bidirectional transmission over a single fibre using 1310nm/1550nm wavelengths, reducing fibre cost by 50% with support for up to 60 km over single-mode 9/125 μm fibre. Includes DIP-switch LFP (Link Fault Pass Through) for link status synchronisation, IEEE 802.3ah OAM TS-1000 for remote diagnostics, 9K jumbo frames, auto-MDI/MDI-X copper port, and mixed copper/fibre speed support up to 2000 Mbps full duplex.

Technical Context

Designed for long-distance fibre links between buildings or remote sites, the GT-806A60 ensures network reliability with LFP failover and supports remote troubleshooting without IP-based management. OAM TS-1000 enables loopback testing and status monitoring, while WDM pairing requires a matched GT-806B60 unit for single-fibre operation. Suitable for integration into media converter chassis for centralised deployment.

Installation Notes

Compact metal housing (26 × 70 × 97 mm, 0.2 kg) with operating temperature of 0–50°C and humidity tolerance of 5–95% non-condensing. Requires 5V DC, 2A external power and supports Cat3–Cat5 copper cabling up to 100 m plus single-mode fibre up to 60 km. Compatible with MC-700/1500 series chassis, includes LED indicators for power, copper, and fibre status, and complies with FCC Class A and CE standards.
