  • Page 8: Product Description

    10GBASE-T and 10GBASE-X SFP Dual Media Interfaces for Diversified Bandwidth Applications The IXT-900 series can reach speeds of up to 10Gbps over copper or fiber-optic cabling, greatly improving the performance of large data transmissions. Its built-in 10GBASE-T copper interfaces feature 5-speed auto-negotiation (10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100) and can transmit data over the existing Cat6/Cat6A UTP cabling, eliminating the need for expensive upgrades.
  • Page 9 User’s Manual of IXT-900 Series Two Fiber Optic Ports Double the Distance of Deployment Conventional media converters typically support only a single pair of different media conversions, such as converting one fiber to one copper connection. They can extend a 100m copper connection to a maximum of 120km fiber optic connection. In contrast, the IXT-900-2X/IXT-900-2X1T/IXT-900-2X1PD has two fiber optic ports and one copper port, enabling the two fiber optic cables to connect to devices up to 240km apart so as to significantly extend the deployment distance.
  • Page 10 Network with Cybersecurity Helps Minimize Risks The IXT-900 series is equipped with enhanced cybersecurity features to fend off cyber threats and attacks. It supports SSHv2, TLSv1.2, and SNMPv3 protocols to provide strong protection against advanced threats. Thus, transmitting data to a customer's critical equipment in a business network is very secure.
  • Page 11 IPv6/IPv4 Dual Stack Management Supporting both IPv6 and IPv4 protocols, the IXT-900 series helps the SMBs to step in the IPv6 era with the lowest investment as their network facilities need not be replaced or overhauled if the IPv6 FTTx edge network is set up.
  • Page 12 Intelligent SFP Diagnosis Mechanism The IXT-900 series supports the SFP-DDM (digital diagnostic monitor) function, which greatly helps network administrators easily monitor real-time parameters of the SFP transceivers. These parameters include optical output power, optical input power, temperature, laser bias current, and transceiver supply voltage.
  • Page 13 IXT-900 series, from remote locations. Tailored for deployment in both enterprises and industries where the IXT-900 series is utilized remotely, these systems enable the identification of bugs or faulty conditions without the need for on-site visits. Whether using UNI-NMS or the CloudViewerPro app, businesses of all types can now be swiftly and efficiently managed through a unified platform, streamlining operational oversight.
