Omnitron, the premier manufacturer of fiber connectivity products for Enterprise and First Mile Metropolitan Network applications, introduces the new iConverter® GX/TM self-managed copper UTP to fiber optic converter. The iConverter GX/TM is a 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet device that can be configured as a standalone, self-managed Network Interface Device (NID) or as chassis plug-in modules that can manage a single unit or an entire chassis of converters.

GX/TM supports Virtual LAN (VLAN) technology, Quality of Service (QoS) prioritization and port access control for a securely managed demarcation point at the network edge/Customer Premises.

VLAN technology allows several virtual networks to coexist on a single physical network, enabling multiple organizations or departments to share network infrastructure resources while maintaining secure and isolated user data. Support of the IEEE 802.1p QoS prioritization enables delivery of high priority, real-time voice and video services over Ethernet. 

The iConverter GX/TM supports port access control to enable and disable specific ports. Service Providers can easily control customer access while maintaining port configuration for easy disabling or enabling of service. Enterprise network managers can disable ports when they are not in use to prevent unauthorized access to the network. 

All iConverter modules are hot swappable and can be mounted in a 19-Module or a 5-Module rack-mountable chassis with any combination of redundant AC and 18-60VDC power supplies, providing a scalable solution that is space efficient and cost effective. They can also be mounted in a 2-Module AC or 18-60VDC powered chassis or in a 1-Module AC powered chassis. 

The GX/TM can be managed with Omnitron's NetOutlook™ SNMP Management Software, third-party SNMP management software or Telnet. The management system allows network managers to remotely monitor network status, configure equipment parameters and receive a variety of user-specified trap (alarm) notifications. These management capabilities save operating costs by quickly diagnosing network problems, reducing trips to edge equipment and minimizing user down time.

Greenlee Storage Boxes

Your tools and equipment need to be there for you, year after year.  They have to handle harsh environments. Hard knocks. And constant use. So we build Greenlee storage boxes for the long run. With features you won’t find on other boxes – features that say "we know what you go through."

Strong enough for your toughest worksites. We add overlapping corners. Smooth, safe rolled edges. Strategically located reinforcement. And hefty overlapping doors. So you get the strength and rigidity it takes to stand up anywhere. For a long, long time.
