Product Overview
The OPTONE 10/100/1000M Gigabit Media Converter (OPT-2200 / OPT-3200 Series) is designed to seamlessly bridge Gigabit Ethernet copper networks with high-speed fiber optic infrastructures. Supporting triple-speed data rates (10, 100, and 1000Mbps) with auto-negotiation, this converter extends network transmission distances from 550m over multi-mode fiber up to 120km over single-mode fiber.
Engineered for reliability, this series features an independent LFP (Link Fault Pass-through) function to ensure immediate fault isolation, along with support for 9K bytes jumbo frames to handle massive data throughput efficiently. Whether deployed for enterprise backbones, campus networks, or long-distance security surveillance, OPTONE gigabit converters deliver carrier-grade performance.
Key Features & Benefits

Independent LFP Function: Features Link Fault Pass-through (LFP) technology, allowing the device to monitor link status and instantly alert administrators or shut down the link when a fiber failure occurs.
Jumbo Frame Support: Transparently passes large data packets up to 9K bytes, optimizing network performance for high-bandwidth data transfers and video streams.
Auto MDI/MDIX: Automatically senses and configures the RJ-45 copper port, eliminating the need for crossover cables.
Comprehensive Diagnostics: Real-time LED status indicators (Power, FDX, Speed, FX Link/Act, TX Link/Act) provide instant visual monitoring.
Flexible Fiber Options: Available in fixed multi-mode, single-mode, bi-directional (WDM) models, as well as a flexible SFP-compatible slot version (OPT-2200A).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the LFP (Link Fault Pass-through) function?
LFP is a critical diagnostic feature. When a link fault occurs on one side of the network (e.g., the fiber cable is broken or disconnected), the media converter will automatically shut down the link on the other side. This signals connected routers or switches immediately, preventing black-holing of data and allowing technicians to locate faults much faster.
Q2: Does this converter support Jumbo Frames?
Yes! The OPTONE 2200/3200 series fully supports up to 9K bytes jumbo frames, making it an ideal choice for high-throughput enterprise networks, storage area networks (SAN), and massive IP camera surveillance systems that require large packet transmission efficiency.
Q3: What is the advantage of choosing the OPT-2200A model with an SFP slot?
The OPT-2200A features an open SFP port rather than a fixed optical transceiver. This gives network administrators maximum flexibility to change transmission distances, wavelengths, or switch between single-mode and multi-mode simply by swapping out the SFP module without replacing the entire converter unit.
