Featuring a 10GBASE-T copper port and dual 10G SFP+ ports, it combines the advantages of 10G connectivity with the versatility of fiber and copper ports. Compact yet powerful, the IXT-900-2X1UP is an ideal choice for businesses seeking to enhance their network's speed and flexibility. This makes it a go-to option for modern network upgrades.
10GBASE-T with 95W PoE++ Capability and 10GBASE-X SFP+
The IXT-900-2X1UP delivers a speed of up to 10Gbps over both copper and fiber-optic cabling, enhancing data transmission efficiency. Its 10GBASE-T copper interfaces with 5-speed auto-negotiation (10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M) allow for high-speed data transfer over the existing Cat6/Cat6A cabling, avoiding costly upgrades. Furthermore, its IEEE802.3bt compatibility enables direct powering of Wi-Fi 7 APs, adding to its versatile network capabilities.
The fiber-optic 10GBASE-X SFP+ interfaces support 4 speeds, 10GBASE-SR/LR, 2500BASE-X, 1000BASE-SX/LX and 100BASE-FX, meaning the administrator now can flexibly choose the suitable SFP/SFP+ transceiver according to the transmission distance or the transmission speed required to extend the network efficiently.
802.3bt PoE++ and Advanced PoE Power Output Mode Management
To meet the demand for supplying stable PoE power to powered device, the IXT-900-2X1UP offers five different PoE power output modes for selection.
Intelligent Alive Check for Powered Devices
The IXT-900-2X1UP can be configured to monitor the status of connected powered devices (PDs) in real time through ping action. If a PD stops working and responding, the IXT-900-2X1UP will recycle the PoE port power and bring the PD back to working condition. This greatly enhances reliability, as the assigned PoE port automatically reboots the PD, reducing the administrator's management burden.
PoE Scheduling to Save Energy
By implementing the "PoE schedule" function, businesses can reduce their energy consumption during non-business hours or periods of low network usage. This not only helps to reduce energy costs but also minimizes the overall carbon footprint of the organization.
Furthermore, the IXT-900-2X1UP’s PoE scheduling feature provides a convenient and easy-to-use interface for managing power usage. The user can easily set the time intervals for each PoE port, allowing for more efficient power management.
Scheduled Power Recycling
The IXT-900-2X1UP enables connected PoE IP cameras or PoE wireless access points to reboot at a specific time each week. This will reduce the chance of IP camera or AP crashes resulting from buffer overflow.
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 80km fiber optic connection. In contrast, the IXT-900-2X1UP has two fiber optic ports and one copper port, enabling the two fiber optic cables to connect to devices up to 160km 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:
Environmentally Hardened Design
With the IP40 industrial case, the IXT-900-2X1UP provides a high level of immunity against electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical surges which are usually found on plant floors or in curb-side traffic control cabinets without air conditioner. Being able to operate under the temperature range from -40 to 75 degrees C, the IXT-900-2X1UP can be placed in almost any difficult environment.
Network with Cybersecurity Helps Minimize Risks
The IXT-900-2X1UP 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. The IXT-900-2X1UP protects network management and enhances the security of mission-critical networks without incurring any additional deployment cost or effort.
Redundant Ring, Fast Recovery for Critical Network Applications
The IXT-900-2X1UP supports software-based redundant ring technology and features strong, rapid self-recovery capability to prevent interruption and external intrusions. It incorporates advanced ITU-T G.8032 ERPS (Ethernet Ring Protection Switching) technology, ensuring rapid self-recovery in ring networks. With this advanced feature, the data link recovery time can be as fast as 500ms.
IPv6/IPv4 Dual Stack Management
Supporting both IPv6 and IPv4 protocols, the IXT-900-2X1UP helps the enterprises and telecoms 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.
SNMP for Comprehensive Network Monitoring and Centralized Control
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) provides network monitoring and management capabilities by gathering real-time information about network devices. By proactively identifying and addressing network issues, reliability and performance are improved. SNMP also facilitates centralized control of network devices, allowing for monitoring and configuration of multiple devices from a single location, reducing manual effort and enhancing operational efficiency.
Layer 2 Features
The device has a 16K-entry MAC address table that automatically removes inactive addresses. Its backbone supports speeds of up to 60Gbps, and it can handle Jumbo Frames up to 9K in size. The device is equipped with Storm Control to manage Broadcast/Multicast/Unknown Unicast traffic to prevent excessive network flooding.
Efficient Traffic Control
The IXT-900-2X1UP media converter boasts advanced QoS features and robust traffic management capabilities, optimizing the delivery of business-class data, voice, and video solutions. Its feature set includes broadcast/multicast/unicast storm control, per-port bandwidth control, and 802.1p CoS/DSCP/IP Precedence QoS priority and remarking. These capabilities guarantee optimal performance for VoIP and video stream transmission, maximizing the utilization of limited network resources for enterprises.
Intelligent SFP Diagnosis Mechanism
The IXT-900-2X1UP 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.
