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.
Link Fault Pass-through
Link Fault Pass-through is a networking feature. It facilitates the detection and propagation of link faults or errors from one
network device to another. It helps maintain network reliability and minimizes downtime by allowing devices to dynamically
respond to link faults. Link Fault Pass-through improves fault detection and enables faster troubleshooting and resolution
processes.
How it works:

When a link fault occurs, the device experiencing the fault generates a notification.

This notification is then forwarded to other connected devices using Link Fault Pass-through.

Upon receiving the link fault information, the connected devices become aware of the fault.

This awareness enables them to take appropriate actions, such as rerouting traffic or disabling the affected port.
