FlexPoint GX/T
10/100/1000 Copper to 100/1000X Fiber Ethernet Media Converter

The FlexPoint GX/T is a 10/100/1000BASE-T copper to

1000BASE-X fiber media converter that supports jumbo
frames up to 10,240 bytes. The GX/T features Small Form
Pluggable (SFP) transceivers that support both 100BASE-FX
and 1000BASE-X for interoperability with Gigabit and Fast
Ethernet fiber equipment. SFP transceivers enable adaptability
to different fiber types, speed and distances, and support
Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing (CWDM) wavelengths.
The FlexPoint GX/T fixed fiber models support 1000BASE-X
