PLANET IGT-900-2T2S Industrial 2-Port Media Converter with SFP

The PLANET IGT-900-2T2S is an industrial-grade, fully managed media converter designed for reliable performance in harsh environments. Housed in a durable, compact IP30-rated metal casing, this device features two 10/100/1000Mbps copper ports and two 100/1000/2500X SFP fiber ports. It is engineered to operate stably in extreme temperatures ranging from -40 to 75 degrees Celsius, making it an ideal solution for industrial automation, factory floors, and critical infrastructure where space is limited and reliability is paramount.

Advantages

This media converter offers exceptional flexibility and network resilience through its advanced management features, including support for IPv6/IPv4 interfaces and Layer 3 static routing. The inclusion of redundant power systems and port backup modes ensures high availability for critical Ethernet applications. Furthermore, the device incorporates robust cybersecurity protocols such as SSHv2, TLSv1.2, and SNMPv3 to protect against unauthorized access and cyberthreats. Its ability to integrate with SCADA systems via Modbus TCP allows for seamless remote monitoring and maintenance, while the SFP-DDM function provides real-time diagnostics for fiber connections.

Suitable for

• Industrial automation and factory floor networking
• Carrier Ethernet and telecommunications applications
• Critical infrastructure monitoring and SCADA system integration
• Expanding network distances using fiber optic connections
• Environments requiring high vibration, shock, and temperature resistance

This device may not be suitable for standard office environments where industrial-grade features like DIN-rail mounting, wide temperature tolerance, and advanced industrial protocol support are unnecessary. Its specialized management interface and rugged design are optimized for professional industrial deployments rather than general consumer or home networking use.

Key specifications

• Ethernet ports: 2 x 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45
• Fiber ports: 2 x 100/1000/2500BASE-X SFP
• Housing: IP30-rated metal enclosure
• Operating temperature: -40 to 75 degrees Celsius
• Mounting options: DIN-rail or wall mount
• Management: Web GUI, CLI, SNMPv3, Telnet, SSH
• Protocol support: Modbus TCP, IEEE 1588v2 PTP, ERPS, STP/RSTP/MSTP

Installation is straightforward thanks to the compact design, which supports both DIN-rail and wall mounting to maximize cabinet space. Once mounted, connect your copper and fiber cables to the respective ports. The device can be configured via a user-friendly web-based interface, command-line interface, or SNMP for remote management. Administrators can set up VLANs, port mirroring, and link aggregation to tailor the network traffic to specific operational requirements. The auto-detection feature for SFP modules simplifies the setup process for fiber connectivity.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the power supply meets the requirements for the redundant power input system.
• Verify that your SFP modules are compatible with the 100/1000/2500BASE-X specifications.
• Confirm if your network infrastructure requires specific industrial protocols like Modbus TCP or IEEE 1588v2.
• Check the available space in your cabinet for DIN-rail or wall mounting.

For optimal performance and longevity in industrial settings, ensure the device is installed in a location with adequate airflow, despite its wide operating temperature range. Regularly monitor the SFP-DDM diagnostics to proactively identify and address potential fiber link issues before they impact network uptime.
