The VT218 is a standalone unit which supports 36 serialized data connections via copper and converts them to fiber. Fiber input/out is via three MTP/MPO connectors. The unit allows the host to do a loop-back to test the fiber link before connection to the source RX side.

The VT218 receives its power via a DSUB-9. The input power is +12V and there is a I2C bus that allows the host to manage the VT218 (i.e. such as initiating the loop-back, reading the temp sensors, configuring the ReDriver/Conditioner, etc.). The loop-back can be configured in groups of four lanes and can be simultaneous across all groups. Individual lane loop-back is not supported.

The unit has user defined LED’s that the host can control via a I2C bus.

The VT218 has internal fans that cool the system. The fan speed is adjustable via a front panel knob.
