USER GUIDE
Connect a 24-56VDC (200mA minimum) power source to the screw-down terminal on the Ethernet card. The
power input is not polarity sensi�ve. The terminal unplugs from the card to make wiring easier.
Connect Power
The TP (RJ-45) Ethernet port will auto-sense for 10Base-T or 100Base-TX connec�ons.
The port is auto MDI/MDIX, which means that the card can connect to another card, switch or worksta�on
without changing straight through or crossover cabling.
Connect Ethernet Cable
Mul�mode and single-mode Ethernet cards are equipped with either two ST or SC female op�cal connectors, or
a single SC bi-direc�onal connector. Connect fiber cable to the Transmit (TX) and Receive (RX) op�cal connectors.
The other end of the fiber may be connected to another Ethernet fiber link card or any 100BASE-FX Ethernet
device.
The TX connector of each card must be connected to the RX connector at the other end. For bi-direc�onal, single
fiber models, there is only a single SC connector used for both transmi�ng and receiving. Always route fiber
op�c cable loosely avoiding �ght bends.

Installation
Measure the DC voltage of the source power to ensure that it is 24~56VDC (3W minimum). All electrical and
fiber op�c connec�ons are made directly onto the card. The Ethernet fiber link card is designed to be installed
into any RLH card housing.
