with male connections.
•
Connect the fiber cables from one media converter to the other
media converter/switch/fiber device ensuring that the RX and TX
are reversed at the opposite end.
Installing the Simplex Fiber Cable
•
Locate a 100Base-X compliant simplex (1 strand) fiber cable with
male connections.
•
Connect the fiber cable from one media converter to the other
media converter/switch/fiber device.
Installing the Copper Cable
•
Locate 100Base-TX compliant copper cables with male, RJ-45
connectors installed at both ends.
•
Connect the RJ-45 cable between the Perle media converter
and the device.
