About the IE-MiniMc
The IE-MiniMc Industrial Ethernet miniature media converter features 10/100
switching copper-to-fiber conversion. It offers plug-and-play operation, and can
function as a PD device; it is compliant to the IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE)
standard.
The IE represents the unit’s use as an Industrial Ethernet device, which allows for
extended temperature operation of -25°C to +85°C (-10°C to +50°C when using the
included AC adapter).
Installing the IE-MiniMc
The IE-MiniMc installs virtually anywhere as a standalone device in locations with
extremely limited space. Installation options include:
Velcro strips
DIN rail mounting with DIN Rail clips
A wall mount bracket
A PowerTray/18 for high density applications
Hardware Mounting Options
The
IE-MiniMc can be mounted on a DIN rail or using wall mount brackets (shown
below).
DIN rail clips (part number 806-39105) and wall mount brackets (part number 895-
39229) are available for purchase through an B&B Electronics Distributor
.
The DIN Rail clips include screws, to allow the
installation onto a DIN Rail. Install the screws
into DIN Rail clips, which should be mounted
parallel or perpendicular to the DIN Rail. Snap
the converter onto the clips. To remove the
converter from the DIN Rail, use a flat-head
screwdriver into the slot to gently pry the
converter from the rail.

NOTE
The DIN clips are designed for use on a DIN-35 rail.
Powering the IE-MiniMc
The IE-MiniMc includes multiple powering options:
A country-specific, high-reliability AC power adapter (included)
The
IEEE 802.3af
Power over Ethernet standard; draws power from power
sourcing equipment
The 4-terminal DC power block
IE-PowerTray/18 for Rack Mounting
About Power Over Ethernet (PoE) and IE-MiniMc
Power Over Ethernet technology allows the IE-MiniMc to be a Powered Device (PD)
and draw power when connected to Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE). Power
Sourcing Equipment distributes an electrical current across existing copper data
cabling.
LED Operation
Each IE-MiniMc includes two LEDs, located on the RJ-45 connector.
LED functions are as follows:
FX LNK/ACT
Glows green when a link is established on the fiber port; blinks green
when activity is detected on the fiber port.
TX LNK/ACT
Glows amber when a link is established on the copper port; blinks
amber when activity is detected on the copper port.
