1.2 Product Description

Multi Port / Flexible Dual-Speed Fiber Optic Connectivity for Long-Reach Distance Extension Solution
The FTTx network applications are part of our life particularly for the business and home use today. To carry out the
long-distance networking deployment for FTTx and Metro system, PLANET introduces the latest Layer 2+ Managed Core Fiber
Switches, GS-5220-16S8C and GS-5220-16S8CR, which provide high density performance and support IPv4 and IPv6 Layer 3
static routing and SFP slots with multiple ports in a 1U case. Each of the SFP slot supports dual-speed, 1000Base-SX / LX or
100Base-FX; the distance can be extended from 550 meters to 2 kilometers (multi-mode fiber) and up to above
10/20/30/40/50/70/120 kilometers (single-mode fiber or WDM fiber). They are well suited for applications within the enterprise
data centers and distributions. That means, the administrator now can flexibly choose the suitable SFP transceiver according to
not only the transmission distance but also the transmission speed required. PLANET GS-5220-16S8C and GS-5220-16S8CR
Fiber Switches are designed to help ISPs, campuses and enterprises improve their backbone and workgroup network
applications by providing high performance, long distance and stable transmission quality.
Intelligent SFP Diagnosis Mechanism
The GS-5220-16S8C and GS-5220-16S8CR support SFP-DDM (Digital Diagnostic Monitor) function that greatly helps
network administrator to easily monitor real-time parameters of the SFP, such as optical output power, optical input power,
temperature, laser bias current, and transceiver supply voltage.
