1.2 Product Overview
Flexible, Reliable and Industrial-grade Network Distance
Extension Solution
PLANET IXT-705AT Industrial Media Converter is equipped with one
100/1000/2500/5000/10000BASE-T auto-negotiation port and
one 10GBASE-X SFP+ slot. It supports 10Gigabit Ethernet media
conversion from copper 10GBASE-T to ber multi-mode or single-mode,
utilizing 10GBASE-SR or 10GBASE-LR SFP+ transceiver installed
in the SFP+ slot to extend distances to servers, switches and patch
panels. The deployment distance can be extended from 300 meters
(multi-mode) to up to 60 kilometers (single-mode).They are well
suited for applications within the factory data centers and distributions.
Also, designed for use in network environments where the ultra-high
bandwidth provided by 10Gigabit Ethernet is required, for example,
data center cloud computing, enterprise backbones, campus networks,
and carrier infrastructure.
High Performance 10Gbps Ethernet Capacity
The IXT-705AT offers wire-speed packets transfer performance without
risk of packet loss. The high data throughput of the device makes it
ideal for most Gigabit environments. With a 20Gbps internal fabric and
featuring auto negotiation support in its 10 Gigabit port, the IXT-705AT
Industrial Media Converter can handle large amounts of data in a
secure topology linking to a backbone or high capacity servers.
Environmentally Hardened Design
The IXT-705AT is equipped with the slim-type IP30 metal case for
easy deployment in heavy Industrial demanding environments. With
IP30 industrial case protection, the IXT-705AT provides a high level
of immunity against electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical
surges which are usually found on plant oors or in curbside trafc
control cabinets. Being able to operate under the temperature range
from -40 to 75 degrees C, the IXT-705AT can be placed in almost
any difcult environment. The IXT-705AT also allows either DIN rail or
wall mounting for efcient use of cabinet space.
Convenient and Reliable Power System
To enhance the operation reliability and exibility, the IXT-705AT is

7
equipped with two DC power input connectors for redundant power
supply installation. It also possesses an integrated power supply source
with wide-ranging voltages (12 to 48V DC or 24V AC) for worldwide
high availability applications requiring dual or backup power inputs,
incorporated into customer’s automation network to enhance system
reliability and uptime.

3.5 Cable Connection
Installing the SFP+ Transceiver
The sections describe how to insert an SFP+ transceiver into an SFP+
slot.
The SFP+ transceivers are hot-pluggable and hot-swappable. You can
plug in and out the transceiver to/from any SFP+ port without having
to power down the Industrial Media Converter
MTB Series
Transceiver
Figure 3-1: Plug in the SFP+ Transceiver
Note
It is recommended to use PLANET SFP+s on the Indus-
trial Media Converter. If you insert an SFP+ transceiver
that is not supported, the Industrial Media Converter will
not recognize it.
10GBASE-X SR/LR:
Before connecting the other switches, workstation or Media Converter,
please do the following:

18
1. Make sure both sides of the SFP+ transceiver are with the same
media type; for example, 10GBASE-SR to 10GBASE-SR, 10GBASE-LR
to 10GBASE-LR.
2. Check whether the ber-optic cable type matches the SFP+ trans-
ceiver model.
To connect to 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceiver, use the multi-mode
ber cable with one side being the male duplex LC connector type.
To connect to 10GBASE-LR SFP+ transceiver, use the single-mode
ber cable with one side being the male duplex LC connector type.
Connecting the ber cable
1. Attach the duplex LC connector on the network cable to the SFP+
transceiver.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to a device, switches with SFP+
installed, ber NIC on a workstation or a Media Converter.
Removing the Transceiver Module
1. Make sure there is no network activity by consulting or checking with
the network administrator. Or through the management interface of
the switch/converter (if available) to disable the port in advance.
2. Remove the Fiber Optic Cable gently.
3. Turn the lever of the MTB module to a horizontal position.
4. Pull out the module gently through the lever.

Note
Never pull out the module without pulling the lever or
the push bolts on the module. Directly pulling out the
module with effort could damage the module and SFP+
module slot of the Industrial Media Converter.
100/1000/2500/5000/10000BASE-T
The 100/1000/2500/5000/10000BASE-T port comes with auto-
negotiation capability. It automatically supports 100BASE-TX,
1000BASE-T, 2500BASE-T, 5000 BASE-T and 10000 BASE-T
networks. Users only need to plug a working network device into
the 100/1000/2500/5000/10000BASE-T port, and then turn on
the Industrial Media Converter. The port will automatically run at
100Mbps, 1000Mbps, 2500Mbps or 5000Mbps and 10000Mbps after the
negotiation with the connected device.
Connecting the UTP Cable
The 100/1000/2500/5000/10000BASE-T port uses RJ45 socket
-- similar to phone jack -- for connection of unshielded twisted-
pair cable (UTP). The 802.3u/802.3ab/802.3bz/802.3ae Ethernet
standard requires Category 5 UTP for 100Mbps 100BASE-TX.
1000/2500/5000/10000BASE-T uses Cat5e/6/6A/7 UTP (see table
below). Maximum distance is 100 meters (328 feet).

4. Troubleshooting
This chapter contains information to help you solve issues. If the
Industrial Media Converter is not functioning properly, make sure the
Industrial Media Converter is set up according to instructions in this
manual.
The per port LED is not lit
Solution:
Check the cable connection of the Industrial Media Converter.
Performance is bad
Solution:
Check the speed duplex mode of the partner device. The Industrial
Media Converter is run at auto-negotiation mode and if the partner is
set to half duplex, then the performance will be poor.
Per port LED is lit, but the trafc is irregular
Solution:
Check that the attached device is not set to dedicate full duplex. Some
devices use a physical or software switch to change duplex modes.
Auto-negotiation may not recognize this type of full-duplex setting.
Why the Industrial Media Converter doesn’t connect to the
network
Solution:
Check per port LED on the Industrial Media Converter. Make sure the
cable is installed properly. Make sure the cable is the right type. Turn
off the power. After a while, turn on the power again.
Can I install MTB-SR or the other SFP+ module with non wide
temperature feature into the SFP+ slot of Industrial Media
Converter?
Solution:
Yes, you can. However, the MTB-SR and the other SFP+ module with
non wide temperature feature cannot operate under -40 to 75 degrees
C.
