ME61 Single-Strand Fiber Converter
First Edition, February 2004
1. Overview
MOXA ME61, Single-Strand Fiber Converter, is a standalone
physical layer device that converts between 10/100BaseT(X)
and 100BaseFX segments of the same network.
ME61 is designed with an optic Wavelength Division
Multiplexing (WDM) technology that transports bi-directional
and full duplex signals over a single-strand fiber cable
simultaneously. ME61 is powered by an external power
adapter or by the USB port of the host (e.g., PC or NB).

AC power requirements and then insert the power plug.
3. Connect ME61 to the network.
Note
Wear a grounding device to safeguard against
injury due to electrostatic discharge.
Using ME61 with Power over USB
1. Use DIP switch settings to enable power from the USB
port (refer to Part 6. for DIP switch settings).
