About the McBasic TP/BNC
With the McBasic TP/BNC, 50 coax cable installations become more
accessible.
The McBasic TP/BNC is a 10 Mbps Ethernet Twisted Pair to 50
Ω
Coax
cable (e.g. RG-59) Media Converter, that allows the continued use of the
already-installed 50
Ω
analog cable, eliminating the need to re-cable. As a
low-cost, IEEE 802.3 single-conversion, 1U high, standalone media convert-
er, the McBasic TP/BNC converts 10Base-T twisted pair to 10Base-2 thin
coax and includes one RJ-45 connector and one RG-59 BNC connector.
Each McBasic TP/BNC includes diagnostic LEDs and an internal 100-240
VAC power supply.

The LEDs
Each McBasic TP/BNC features diagnostic LEDs. The following illustration
shows the location of the LEDs, and other features, on the McBasic TP/BNC.
The LED functions for the McBasic TP/BNC are as follows:
TP LNK/ACT
Glows yellow when a twisted pair link is established and
flickers when data is being received.
BNC ACT
Flickers green in normal operation indicating activity on the
BNC port.
BNC COL
Flickers red in normal operation indicating collisions are
being detected on the BNC segment.
POWER
Flickers yellow when the unit is receiving power.

Federal Communication Commission Radio
Frequency Interference Statement
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 inter-
ference 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 manufac-
turer 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 pre-
scrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique publié par le min-
istère des Communications du Canada.
