Installing the Simplex Fiber Cable
1. Locate a 1000Base-X compliant simplex (1 strand) fiber cable
with appropriate connectors. Ensure that the TX wavelength
matches the RX wavelength at the other end and the RX
wavelength matches the TX wavelength at the other end.
2. Connect the fiber cable from one media converter to the other
media converter/switch/fiber device.
Installing the Copper Cable
1. Locate 10/100/1000Base-T compliant copper cables with the
appropriate connectors.
2. Connect the RJ-45 cable between the Perle media converter
and the device.
Note: The Perle media converter supports Auto-MDIX which
allows connection of a straight-through or cross-over Ethernet
cable. See
Auto-MDIX Jumper Settings
in this guide for jumper
positions.
