ION Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter Module
1000Base-T to 1000Base-SX/LX
C3110 Series
Description
The ION C3110 is a media converter module that provides an interface between 1000Base-T ports and 1000Base-SX/LX ports, allowing users to integrate fiber optic cabling into 1000Base-T copper environments.
Operating at Layer 1, the physical layer, data is passed through the converter at line speed, making it ideal for applications where low latency is essential. The ION C3110 is a manageable device when installed in a managed ION chassis.
Features
- Copper and Fiber Auto-Negotiation
- Auto-MDI/MDIX on TP port
- Transparent Link Pass Through
- Remote Fault Detect
- Loopback
- Pause
- Automatic Link Restoration
- Field Upgradeable Firmware
- Can be used in any ION Platform Chassis
- Cost effective fiber deployment by pairing C3110 with lower cost 1000Base-T switches, offering the benefits of fiber without the high costs
- Standards based, will link with any standard 1000Base-T and any standard 1000Base-SX or LX ports
Manageable Features
- Report converter status to chassis management software:
- Copper and Fiber link/receive status
- Hardware switch settings
