About McBasic TX/FX
McBasic TX/FX is an IEEE 802.3 media converter that performs a single conversion
between 100Base-TX twisted pair and 100Base-FX multi-mode or single-mode fiber.
Single-strand fiber versions are also available. The unit includes one RJ-45 connector
for the twisted pair port and either ST, SC, MT or LC connectors for the fiber port.
McBasic TX/FX is a 1U high, standalone unit that includes diagnostic LEDs for each
port and a universal (100/240 VAC) power supply.
NOTE
All versions of the 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet McBasic media converter, including 850 nm
multi-mode fiber (TX/SX) and single-strand versions (TX/SSFX), will be referred to as McBasic
TX/FX throughout this installation guide except where differences need to be indicated.
Installing the McBasic TX/FX
McBasic TX/FX comes ready to install; make all configurations after installation. To
install McBasic TX/FX, first make sure that the unit is placed on a suitable flat surface.
Attach the cables between the McBasic TX/FX and each device that will be
interconnected, then plug the unit into a reliable, filtered power source.
INSTALLATION TIP
Since single-strand fiber products use optics that transmit and receive on two
different wavelengths, you must deploy single-strand fiber products in pairs, or
connect two compatible IMC Networks single-strand fiber products. For example, connect
McBasic, TX/SSFX-SM1310-SC (which has 1310 xmt and 1550 rcv) to a product which has
1550 xmt and 1310 rcv, e.g. iMcV-LIM, TX/SSFX-SM1550-SC. The two connected
products must also have the same speed and distance capabilities (i.e. both are single-
mode [20km] or both are single/PLUS [40km]).
