The The ION Platform Chassis
Transition’s ION Platform is an all new intelligent, high-density, multi-protocol system supporting a variety of network interface devices and media conversion modules. Designed for both carrier class and enterprise network applications where effective remote management and security are essential. The high density ION chassis is designed to operate in a central office (CO) or data center where multiple points of fiber integration is required.

10GBase to 10GBase Optical Line Converter with XFP Slots - 10 Gigabit Ethernet Fiber to Fiber Converter
The Transition Networks 10 Gigabit Ethernet fiber to fiber converter is a two-port 10G pluggable media converter, supporting a variety of XFP and SFP+ modules allowing network designers to utilize the module to meet their network requirements.

Auto-Negotiation (802.3u)
Auto-Negotiation allows devices to perform automatic configuration to achieve the best possible mode of operation over a link.

AutoCross™
Automatically detects and configures the twisted pair port on the converter to the correct MDI or MDI-X configuration.

Far End Fault (802.3u)
Far End Fault (FEF) is a troubleshooting feature that is generally used in conjunction with Link Pass Through to notify both end devices of a loss of link.

Link Pass Through
Link Pass Through is a troubleshooting feature that allows the media converter to monitor both the fiber and copper RX ports for loss of signal.

Transparent Link Pass Through
Transparent Link Pass Through will notify an end device of a link failure just like Link Pass Through. However, it uses a different method for "passing through" this information.
