C. Use a screwdriver to attach the rack mount ears to both sides of
the modular conver ter.
D. Install the modular conver ter by inser ting it into the chassis
guides and sliding it in until it stops. Press it firmly to seat the
chassis power plug into the modular conver ter receptacle.
E. Gently push the thumbscrews in and turn clockwise to tighten.
Do not over tighten.
Cabling
• Twisted-pair segments can be Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) or
Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cabling. The cable must comply with the
IEEE 802.3u 100Base-TX standard for Categor y 5e. The cable
between the conver ter and the link par tner (switch, hub,
workstation, etc.) must be 100 meters (328 ft.) or less in length.
• Fiber segments using Single Mode connectors must use 8/125 or
9/125 µm Single Mode fiber cable. The maximum link distance is
15, 30, or 60 Kilometers (depending on model) in full duplex
operation. For half-duplex operation, the recommended maximum
distance is 412 meters (1352 ft.).
• Fiber segments using Multi-Mode connectors must use 50 or
62.5/125 µm Multi-Mode fiber cable. The maximum link distance is
2 Kilometers (6562 ft.).

LED Indicators
There are six diagnostic LEDs located on the Front panel of these
Conver ters. The LEDs provide real-time information on system sta-
tus. The indicators include Power, UTP 100, LK/ACT, FDX/COL, Fiber
LK/ACT, and FDX/COL. The following table provides descriptions of
the LEDs.
