Planet GSD-603F

Cost-effective Gigabit Fiber Switch for Residential and FTTx CPE Applications
PLANET GSD-603F Gigabit Ethernet Switch, featuring 5 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 1 SFP port, provides Gigabit fiber uplink capability and non-blocking wire-speed performance for various applications that need long-distance data transmission. This metal switch is easily deployed on the desktop or in the cabinet to make the network placement as convenient as possible.

The GSD-603F acts as a high-performance edge device for FTTx solutions. With one mini-GBIC 1000BASE-SX/LX SFP (Small-Form Factor Pluggable) interface support, the deployed distance of the GSD-603F can be extended from 550 meters (via multi-mode fiber) to 10/20/30/40/50/70/120 kilometers (via single-mode fiber). Thus, building a network solution of FTTH (Fiber to the Home), FTTC (Fiber to the Curb) for ISPs or FTTB (Fiber to the Building) for enterprises becomes so easy to users when long-distance deployment is employed. The GSD-603F can handle extremely large amounts of data in a secure topology linking to a metro switch, backbone or high-capacity server.

Energy saving
The GSD-603F features the technologies that can save energy up to 40% when compared with a normal switch without compromising its performance. The GSD-603F incorporates two advanced Green Networking technologies:
　■ Low Power Idle Mode for power saving
　■ Intelligent Scales Power based on cable length

With the Low Power Idle Mode feature , the GSD-603F implements the link-down power saving that complies with IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) standard to automatically lower power for a given port when it is not linked. The GSD-603F will automatically adjust power usage of the ports that are shut down or not connected to the network device. The other green technology, Intelligent Scales Power , adopted is an intelligent algorithm that actively determines the appropriate power level based on cable length. When connecting to the GSD-603F with Ethernet cable shorter than 20m, a device can obtain maximum power saving because the GSD-603F would automatically detect the Ethernet cable length and reduce power usage. The connected device can substantially reduce the overall power consumption, which makes a significant contribution to energy saving.

Leading Home, SOHO and Workgroup Users into High-speed Networking Generation
As the increasing popularity of Desktop and Laptop with built-in Gigabit Network Interface, and wide applications of Shared Database Device and Multimedia Center day by day, super high-speed Ethernet Switch is expected to become the mainstream in the market. PLANET GSD-603F Gigabit Ethernet Fiber Switch is especially designed in a compact metal housing to offer easy deployment of Gigabit networking for homes, SOHOs or enterprises.

High Performance
Providing 12Gbps internal switching fabric and 9k jumbo frame ability, the GSD-603F can handle extremely large amounts of data in a secure topology linking to a backbone or high-capacity server. The GSD-603F provides 2K MAC address table and 1.5Mbits buffer memory. It offers wire-speed packet transfer performance without risk of packet loss. The high data throughput of the device makes it ideal for most Gigabit environments, especially for the network upgrading to a Gigabit environment.

Plug & Play
All RJ45 copper interfaces in the GSD-603F support 10/100/1000Mbps auto-negotiation for optimal speed detection through RJ45 Category 6, 5 or 5e cabling. It supports standard auto-MDI/MDI-X that can detect the type of connection to any Ethernet device without requiring special straight-through or crossover cables.
