iConverter XG and XG+
10Gbps Protocol-Transparent Media Converter/Transponder
The iConverter XG and XG+ are 10 Gigabit, protocol-
transparent media converters with two pluggable transceiver
ports supporting the three Rs (regeneration, retiming and
reshaping). By taking advantage of the wide variety of 10G
pluggable transceivers, they can be used as copper-to-ber
converters, ber mode converters or WDM transponders.
The
iConverter XG and XG+ support 100% trafc throughput
and have no packet size restrictions. Ultra low packet latency
enables high-performance connectivity for data centers
and nancial networks. All models are protocol transparent
within the range of 9.95Gbps to 10.71Gbps or 9.95Gbps to
11.32Gbps, providing interoperability with 10G Ethernet, 10G
SONET/SDH, 10G Fibre Channel and 10G OTN (G.709).
Three interface congurations are available: XFP to XFP,
XFP to SFP+, and SFP+ to SFP+. Pluggable XFP and
SFP+ transceivers can be used for multimode and single-
mode applications, supporting short haul distances, long
haul distances and WDM ber links. The XFP interface is
compatible with copper (10GBASE-CX4) transceiver modules,
making it suitable for converting 10G copper to ber.
The
iConverter XG+ supports high-power (power level 4)
XFP transceivers and the latest generation of wavelength
tunable DWDM XFP transceivers. Utilizing management,
the wavelength of a tunable transceiver can be programmed
and saved, eliminating the need for external programming
equipment.
The iConverter XG and XG+ are available as compact,
unmanaged standalone units, or chassis plug-in modules that
can be managed with a management module installed in the
chassis. The hot-swappable, plug-in modules can be mounted
in a variety of chassis with AC and DC power supplies.
Plug-in modules feature full management capabilities, including
status reporting, fault detection, threshold violations, loopback
functionality and SNMP trap notication. SNMP traps provide
link status availability and transceiver threshold alerts.
The standalone iConverter XG and XG+ are unmanaged
tabletop or wall-mount units. The tabletop model can be DIN-
rail mounted using an optional DIN-rail mounting kit. Both the
tabletop and the wall-mount models are DC powered and are
available with an external AC/DC power adapter, or a terminal
connector for DC power.
Built-in loopback functions, on-board status LEDs and link
fault propagation modes facilitate easy setup and quick
troubleshooting. Pluggable transceiver alarm conditions
reported through the digital diagnostic monitoring interface
are displayed by the on-board status LEDs or management
interface on plug-in modules.
