The TRANSITION Networks slide-in-module media converter, C/E-CX-TBT-04, designed
to be installed in the TRANSITION Networks Media Conversion Center, E-MCC-1600,
connects 10BASE-2 coaxial cable to 10BASE-T unshielded twisted pair cable. The media
converters function in half-duplex mode.

USER’S GUIDE

A Coax configuration switch sets an internal 10BASE-2
terminator to EITHER 50 ohms OR 0 ohms.

0 ohm switch position is used when connecting to the
middle or in line of a thin coax segment.

50 ohm switch position is used when connecting end of
coax segment DIRECTLY to the media converter's BNC
port.

Straight-through Cable Configuration

Straight-through/crossover 10BASE-T requirements are satisfied using the
MDI/MDI-X switch with straight-through cable.

The two active pairs in a 10BASE-T
network are pins 1 & 2 and pins 3 & 6.
Use only dedicated wire pairs (such as
blue/white & white/blue, orange/white &
white/orange) for the active pins.
