## Summary description

The PLANET IFB-244-SLC is a compact network media converter with four fiber ports and LC connectors designed for single-mode fiber at 1620 nm. Housed in metal and finished in blue, it supports a wide input voltage range (9–48 V) with typical power consumption of 0.54 W. LED indicators show system status. Suitable for extending wired networks over single-mode fiber in telecom, ISP and industrial applications.

## Long description

The PLANET IFB-244-SLC is a compact industrial network media converter with four fiber ports using LC connectors for single-mode fiber at 1620 nm. Encased in a blue metal housing, the device is designed to maintain fiber link continuity in demanding telecom, ISP and industrial environments. It supports a wide input voltage range (9–48 V) and low typical power consumption, and includes LED indicators to display system status. The IFB-244-SLC integrates an optical bypass mechanism to ensure traffic forwarding between remote fiber links when local equipment loses power.
Advantages
The IFB-244-SLC provides an ultra-fast auto-recovering optical bypass that prevents network downtime during power loss by directly connecting remote fiber links. Its metal housing and industrial-grade components deliver environmental resilience and ESD/surge protection. Wide voltage input and dual power input capability increase deployment flexibility and availability in locations with limited or variable power. Compact dimensions and mounting options allow installation in narrow enclosures or on DIN rails.
Suitable for
Extending wired networks over single-mode fiber links in telecom and ISP networks
Industrial automation and control systems requiring failover fiber bypass
Environments needing compact, wall- or DIN-rail-mountable fiber protection devices
Applications where maintaining fiber link continuity during local switch maintenance or power loss is necessary
Key specifications
Fiber ports: 4 duplex LC ports for single-mode fiber
Wavelength: 1620 nm single-mode operation
Power input range: 9–48 V DC (supports wide-range and dual input)
Typical power consumption: 0.54 W
Housing: metal, blue finish
Operating temperature range: designed for wide industrial range (industrial-grade specification)
ESD and surge protection: integrated contact and air discharge protection and surge immunity
Indicators: LED status indicators for system and link monitoring
Mounting: wall mount and DIN-rail compatible for space-limited installations
Supported link speeds: supports 100Gbps/40Gbps/10Gbps/1Gbps/100Mbps fiber connections via bypass mechanism
How to use
Install the PLANET IFB-244-SLC in the chosen location using the supplied wall-mount or DIN-rail brackets and connect the unit to the local power source(s) within the 9–48 V range. Connect two fiber ports to the two remote fiber switches and the remaining two ports to the local fiber switch using LC single-mode patch cables at 1620 nm. Monitor the LED indicators to confirm normal operation (bypass and system status). When the IFB-244-SLC and the local switch are powered, the device forwards traffic between remote switches and the local switch. If local power fails, the optical bypass operates automatically and forwards traffic directly between the remote fiber switches until power is restored.
Usage recommendations
Place the IFB-244-SLC in an environment within the manufacturer’s recommended temperature and power range, use single-mode LC fiber at 1620 nm and ensure both power inputs are connected when redundancy is required. Regularly inspect fiber connectors and monitor LED indicators to confirm the bypass and link status; use proper ESD precautions when handling the unit.
