Installing the SFP Fiber Module
SFP models only.
1.
Locate the appropriate fiber module and insert the SFP into the opening on
the front of the media converter.
2.
Ensure the SFP module is properly seated. The release latch of the SPF fiber
transceiver must be in the closed (up) position before insertion.

The SFP module may be inserted before or after applying power to the media
converter.
4.
Proceed with cable connections.
Installing the Duplex Fiber Cable
1.
Locate a 1000Base-X compliant duplex (2 strands) fiber cable with
appropriate connectors.
2.
Connect the fiber cables from one media converter to the other media
converter/switch/fiber device ensuring that the RX and TX are reversed
(crossed) at the opposite end.
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
