Connections
Two matched modules are supplied an A and B version, these must be
used together. Connections are identical for each module. The system
uses WDM fiber technology, which allows for bidirectional connectivity
over a single dedicated fiber link (closed loop)
The modules function as 3 port Ethernet switches with 2 standard RJ45
electrical Ethernet ports and a fiber Ethernet port using a LC/PC optical
connection on each module. Note a single dedicated fiber link is
needed between locations. (LC simplex fiber connector shown below)
Power Lead Strain Relief
The module has a small hole in the case located above the power
connection to prevent the power lead being accidentally pulled out.
Use the supplied tie-wrap and secure the lead as shown below.
*
Note
The module must be used with SMF
(singlemode) fiber cable. Multimode cable does
not support WDM and the link will not function.
The electrical port speeds can be set to
automatic mode (10/100/1000) or
forced to 10Mbit if required. It is also
possible to configure automatic or
manual crossover for the electrical
ports (forced manual crossover is
sometimes needed for older networks)
Note.
If fiber RX LED is OFF this indicates no signal is present, signal to
weak or is a non a valid signal.
Power
Each module requires a 12V DC power input and a LED is provided to
confirm power is connected. Power supplies are provided, but if
applying your own power, please provide a clean 7-15V DC power input
(12VDC nominal). Power consumption is approx 2.2W
Optional Mounting Bracket
The optional RFR 1001 mounting bracket can be used to permanently
mount the module on any flat surface or on 19” rack rails.
