Omnitron iConverter 10T/2

The iConverter 10T/2 is a member of the modular iConverter product family. The iConverter product family supports the IEEE 802.3 standard and provides an extensive range of connectivity options across different media.

The iConverter 10T/2 is a 10Base-T to 10Base-2 media converter that converts between twisted pair (UTP) and coax LANs and joins their collision domains. The iConverter 10T/2 facilitates the connection of a coax segment to a 10Base-T hub. When using a pair of iConverter 10T/2 converters back to back, they can connect between two 10Base-T hubs via coax.

On the UTP side, the iConverter 10T/2 uses a modular EIA/TIA 568 RJ45 connector that supports categories 3, 4 or 5 wiring and connects to distances up to 100 m (328 ft.). The iConverter 10T/2 detects and corrects wiring polarity reversals, and features a crossover switch that facilitates a straight-through cable connection to a workstation or a hub and eliminates the need for a crossed cable.

On the coax side, the iConverter 10T/2 utilizes a BNC connector and supports a 50 ohm cable and distances of up to 185 m (606 ft.). Per IEEE 802.3 standard, up to 30 workstations can be attached to the coax segment. The iConverter 10T/2 features a convenient and cost-effective cable termination via a termination switch and a built-in termination element.

Like all iConverter modules, the 10T/2 is hot swappable and supports four mounting options. It can be mounted in a 19-Module (2U, 3.5 inch high) or 5-Module (1U, 1.75 inch high) space-saving rack-mountable chassis (19-inch or 23-inch) with any combination of redundant AC and 48VDC power supplies. It can also be mounted in a 2-Module AC or 48VDC powered chassis or in a 1-Module AC powered chassis.

The iConverter family is an In-Band or Out-of-Band SNMP-managed media converter family. Supporting 10, 100, 10/100, Gigabit Ethernet, T1, E1, OC-3 and OC-12 technologies. The iConverter family is suitable for LAN and MAN networks where copper to fiber, multimode fiber to single-mode fiber, or dual fiber to single-fiber conversions are required.
