Installation
Observe ESD Precautions
Always observe the following ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) precautions when installing or handing the M/GE-T-xxx-01
media converter:
•
Do not remove the converter from its protective packaging until you are ready to install it.
•
Wear an ESD wrist grounding strap before handling any module or component. If you do not have a wrist strap,
maintain grounded contact with the system unit throughout any procedure requiring ESD protection.
Copper and Fiber Ports
The figure below shows the front panel of the M/GE-T-xxx-01 media converters.
Connect the Fiber Cable
Full duplex (always ON) is on the fiber side only; therefore, the 512-Bit Rule does not apply. The cable lengths are
constrained by the cable requirement.
1. Locate or build IEEE 803.2™ compliant 1000Base
-X fiber cable with male, two-stranded TX to RX connectors installed
at both ends.
2. Connect the fiber cable to the M/GE-T-xxx-01 media converters as follows:
•
Connect the male TX cable connector to the female TX port.
•
Connect the male RX cable connector to the female RX port.
3. Connect the fiber cable to the other device (another media converter, hub, etc.) as follows:
•
Connect the male TX cable connector to the female RX port.
•
Connect the male RX cable connector to the female TX port.
