Network Transceiver for Gigabit Extension

The PLANET GT-806B15 converts 10/100/1000Base-T copper links to 1000Base-FX single-mode fibre using WDM bi-directional optics. It supports Gigabit throughput over distances up to 15 km and fits network teams extending LAN segments between buildings or campus sites.

Check Power and Fibre Patch Cables

Verify that a DC 5V 2A supply is available at the installation point and that the rack or wall location stays within the 0 to 50 degree Celsius operating range. Confirm the fibre plant uses 9/125 µm single-mode cable with SC connectors and that the link budget of 12 dB covers the planned span.

Replaces Short-Range Copper or Multi-Mode Links

The unit upgrades installations limited by 100-metre twisted-pair reach or multi-mode distances of 220 to 550 metres. The jump is worth it when a single-fibre strand must carry bidirectional Gigabit traffic across a 15 km single-mode run without adding active aggregation gear.

Questions about this item

Does the GT-806B15 come with a power supply or do I need to buy one separately?

The unit includes a DC 5V / 2A power adapter for standalone use. It can also be mounted in a compatible PLANET media converter chassis for centralised power, which is sold separately.

Which wavelength pairing should I choose for a 15 km single-mode link?

This model uses WDM with TX at 1550 nm and RX at 1310 nm. The matching unit at the far end must use the opposite pairing (TX 1310 nm / RX 1550 nm) on the same single-mode fibre.

What does the 15 km distance rating mean when the converter is installed in a rack?

The 15 km figure is the maximum reach on 9/125 µm single-mode fibre when the link budget of 12 dB is met. Rack mounting in a chassis does not change the optical budget, but ensure operating temperature stays within 0 – 50 °C.
