Compact Gigabit Media Converter

The PLANET GT-805A converts 10/100/1000Base-T copper signals to 1000FX fibre using an SFP slot with LC connectors. It suits network engineers extending LAN links beyond copper distance limits in commercial or campus environments. The unit operates standalone or slides into a compatible chassis for centralised power. Its small 3.82" x 1.02" x 2.76" footprint fits tight cabinet spaces.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Maximum power draw is 4.6 watts, so heat output stays low during continuous Gigabit throughput. The converter is rated for 0 to 50 degrees Celsius operating temperature and 5 to 95 percent non-condensing humidity. Status LEDs show power, copper link and activity at 1000 Mbps, plus fibre link and activity for real-time monitoring. No moving parts mean silent, maintenance-free operation.

Upgrade Context

This device replaces slower 10/100 media converters when Gigabit fibre uplinks are required. It also upgrades fixed-connector models by accepting interchangeable SFP transceivers for multi-mode or single-mode fibre at different distances. The jump is worth it when existing copper runs hit the 100-metre limit or when a chassis deployment demands hot-swappable flexibility.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the GT-805A produce when running continuously?

The converter draws a maximum of 4.6 watts and generates up to 15 BTU of heat, operating silently with no fan in temperatures from 0 to 50 °C.

What power source and fiber module does the GT-805A require to operate?

It needs a DC 5V 2A adapter (included) and a separate 1000Base-SX/LX SFP transceiver with an LC connector, which is not supplied with the unit.

Will the GT-805A link with my existing 100 Mbps switches and legacy fiber runs?

The RJ-45 port auto-negotiates at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps, while the SFP slot accepts multi-mode transceivers for 220 m or 550 m reach and single-mode units for distances up to 120 km.
