Planet - XT-705A - 10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M Copper to 10GBASE-X SFP+ Media Converter
Product Overview
The Planet XT-705A is a 10G media converter featuring one 10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100BASE-T auto-negotiation copper port and one 10GBASE-X SFP+ slot, converting 10GBASE-T copper to fiber (SR/LR/BX) for distance extension up to 60km. Delivers 20Gbps fabric, 16K jumbo frames, and 2.48 Mpps throughput in a compact metal case with desktop, wall, or DIN-rail mounting and optional media chassis compatibility (MC-700/1500 series).
Key Configuration
• Copper Port: 1 × RJ45 supporting 10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M auto-negotiation
• Fiber Port: 1 × 10G SFP+ slot (module sold separately)
• Performance: 20Gbps switching capacity, 2.48 Mpps forwarding rate
• Capacity: 9K MAC address table, 16K jumbo frames
• Power: 5V DC, 2A max; 3.75W power consumption
• Dimensions: 94 × 70 × 26 mm
• Weight: 180 g
Key Features
Supports multi-speed copper connectivity (10G, 5G, 2.5G, 1G, and 100M) with fiber links up to 300 m on multimode or 60 km on single-mode SFP+ modules. Features store-and-forward switching, 16K jumbo frames, ESD/surge protection, and flexible installation options, including desktop, wall-mount, DIN-rail, or media converter chassis deployment.
Technical Context
Designed to bridge copper and fiber networks at up to 10G speeds, enabling long-distance uplinks while maintaining compatibility with existing NBASE-T infrastructure. Its low power consumption and chassis compatibility make it suitable for data centers, campus networks, and remote fiber-connected deployments.
Installation Notes
Compact metal housing (94 × 70 × 26 mm, 180 g) operating from 0°C to 50°C and powered by 5V DC. Supports copper cabling up to 100 m, depending on speed and requires compatible SFP+ modules for fiber connectivity. Includes LED status indicators and supports optional DIN-rail mounting.
