FlexPoint
Gx
Gigabit Ethernet Copper to Fiber Media Converter
The FlexPoint Gx is a 1000BASE-T UTP to 1000BASE-SX/LX
ber media converter that provides reliable and cost-effective
network connectivity and ber extension.
The FlexPoint Gx auto-negotiates with most network
devices for quick installations. Manual switch settings and
LED indicators with on-the-label descriptions enable easy
conguration with different network requirements.
The FlexPoint Gx features an auto-sensing UTP port that
adjusts to the duplex and pause mode of the attached device.
A switch provides manual control over the Half/Full-Duplex
operation of UTP port. The port features a crossover switch
that facilitates connection to a workstation or switch.
Network ow control is supported via an auto-selected or
user-selected Pause function that assists in relief of network
congestion.
The ber port operates at 850nm, 1310nm or 1550nm and
supports SC, MT-RJ or LC connectors. Multimode models
support distances of up to 550m and the single-mode models
support distances of up to 140km.
User-selectable link modes are available to facilitate the
detection of link faults. Faults can be propagated to managed
devices or isolated to a per segment basis.
Diagnostic data is provided through LED indicators that
assist in network installation and maintenance. The LEDs
report the availability of power, port activity and link status
and duplex mode.
FlexPoint modules can be mounted utilizing optional wall-
mounting hardware or with DIN-rail mounting brackets. They
can also be rack-mounted in a 5-Module shelf or in a high-
density 14-Module, power-redundant Powered Chassis.
FlexPoint modules installed in the 5-Module shelf or used
as standalone devices can be powered by an external AC to
DC power adapter, or through the 5VDC chassis connector.
Standalone modules can also be powered by attaching an
external DC power supply (18-60VDC). When used in the
14-Module power-redundant Powered Chassis with any
combination of AC and DC power supplies, the installed
modules are powered via the 5VDC chassis connector.
The wide variety of FlexPoint mounting and power options
provide exible upgrade paths as network requirements
change and grow.
FlexPoint unmanaged media converters are easy to use
and provide dependable ber connectivity in Enterprise and
Government networks around the world.
