is a low-cost, IEEE 802.3
single-conversion media converter that converts
between 100 Mbps twisted pair and 100 Mbps
multi-mode or single-mode fiber. It is available
with one RJ-45 connector for the twisted pair port
and several types of fiber connectors, including
ST, SC and MT, for the fiber port. Single-strand
fiber versions are also available.
Compact Media
Converter
is a 1U high, standalone unit that
includes diagnostic LEDs for each port and a
universal (100/240 VAC) power supply.

Installing Compact Media Converter
Compact Media Converter
comes ready to install; make all configurations after
installation. To install
Compact Media Converter
, first make sure that the unit is
placed on a suitable flat surface. Attach the cables between the
Compact Media
Converter
and each device that will be interconnected, then plug the unit into a
reliable, filtered power source.
NOTE
Since single-strand fiber products use optics that transmit and receive on two different
wavelengths, you must deploy single-strand fiber products in pairs, or connect two com-
patible Black Box single-strand fiber products.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B computing device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which the user
will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
The use of non-shielded I/O cables may not guarantee compliance with FCC RFI limits.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emission from digital apparatus set out in the
Radio Interference Regulation of the Canadian Department of Communications.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils
numériques de classe B prescrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique publié par le ministère des
Communications du Canada.
