ET1000 Port Card

10/100/1000 Ethernet

The ET1000 port card offers flexibility at 10 Megabit, 100 Megabit, and 1 Gigabit Ethernet speeds. Each card accepts 48 RJ45 (CAT5/CAT6) cables. The ET1000 is designed for auto cable rewiring as well as auto speed negotiation. Incoming copper signals can be routed through the ET1000 to SFP port cards (RT4000 or NRT2500) for optical media conversion.

Features

  • Ethernet Data Rates offer maximum flexibility
    • 10 Mb/s
    • 100 Mb/s
    • 1.25 Gb/s (GigE)
    • Rates auto negotiable or manually selected by user
  • 48 RJ45 Ports - highest density
    • Half duplex
    • Full duplex
  • Media conversion extends signal distance
    • 1000 base-TX copper to 1000 Base-SX or FX fiber (both multimode and singlemode)
    • CAT5/6 cable in (ET1000) & 850nm optical out (RT4000 or NRT2500)
    • CAT5/6 cable in (ET1000) & 1310nm optical out (RT4000 or NRT2500)
    • CAT5/6 cable in (ET1000) & 1550nm optical out (RT4000 or NRT2500)
  • Signal detect counter aids troubleshooting on each port
  • Port Card Indicators allow at-a-glace port status monitoring
    • 2 LEDs on each RJ45 connector indicate Speed (10/100/1000)
    • 2 LEDs on GLX4000 switch display indicate Transmit Enable and Receive Signal Detect for each RJ45 port
    • 1 Ready LED per port card
    • 1 Fault LED per port card
  • Auto Detect Cabling (MDI/MDIX support) can be plugged in any CAT5/6 cable
    • Full vs. half duplex
    • Straight cable vs. crossover swap
    • Polarity swap
  • Software support:
    • Command Line Interface (CLI) offers full control
    • Remote monitoring through SNMP
    • Graphical User Interface (GUI) that‘s simple to use
  • Same port card operates in both GLX4000 144-port & 288-port switches, reducing cost of spares inventory.
