INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The
FBR-1FE1FX-SFP
operates as one half of a transceiver pair for the transmission of bi-directional
Ethernet data, over one or two multimode or single-mode fiber/s. The unit uses industry standard Small
Form-Factor, Pluggable (SFP) modules for connecting to the fiber media. A proper Aventura
Technologies approved SFP module is selected by the customer to accommodate the type and number of
fibers, as well as the transmission distance.
The
FBR-1FE1FX-SFP
converts a single 10/100base-T/TX Ethernet input to an optical fiber output.
The
FBR-1FE1FX-SFP
also converts an optical fiber input, returning over the same or different fiber,
depending on SFP module selection, into a single 10/100base-T/TX Ethernet output.
The
FBR-1FE1FX-SFP
is configured to auto-negotiate the data rate on the UTP Ethernet port to either
10 or 100 Mbps and operating mode to either full or half-duplex. Additionally, the unit is configured to
perform the MDI/MDIX sensing and switching automatically. This feature allows for the use of
standard, straight through patch cords, without regard to the configuration (MDI or MDIX) of the device
the
FBR-1FE1FX-SFP
unit is connected to.
The data rate on the optical port of the
FBR-1FE1FX-SFP
is always 100Mbps, full-duplex.
This unit is contained in a compact and rugged steel housing with internal dc voltage regulation. The
detachable terminal block and LED indicators provide for easy installation and monitoring of Ethernet,
optical link, and dc power status.
The unit operates as either a surface mounted, modular, stand-alone device, or within a rack mounted
card cage.
INSTALLATION
THE INSTALLATION OF THIS UNIT SHOULD BE MADE BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE
PERSON(S) AND MUST CONFORM TO ALL LOCAL CODES.
The physical outline and front/rear panel configuration of the unit is detailed in Figure 2.
Mount the unit to a secure surface using #8 (3mm) hardware in two places. See Figure 3 for a full size
mounting template. Be sure to allow sufficient room for the required minimum bend radius of the fiber
cable used.
POWER SOURCE
The unit requires a +12VDC power source for proper operation. The DC input is diode protected against
reverse polarity connection.
In the USA and in Canada, for standalone surface mounted installation, an Aventura Technologies FBR-
PSUS12DC1A is supplied with this unit. Contact Aventura Technologies for ordering power supply
units for use in countries other than the USA and Canada.
When installed in a rack mounted card cage, the power for the unit is supplied from the card cage’s
power supply.
