Fast Ethernet Media Converter
Rear Panel
The rear panel contains a power socket. This power socket accepts
DC 9V voltage and minimum 0.7A supplied current.
Installation
Copper and Fiber Cabling Guidelines
1. The RJ-45 port can be connected to unshielded twisted pair
(UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cabling systems. The cable
must comply with the IEEE 802.3u 100Base TX standard for
Category 5. The cable between the converter and the link partner
device (switch, hub, workstation, etc.) must be less than 100
meters (328 ft.) long.
2. The fiber link on the multi-mode converter must use either 50 or
62.5/125 micron multi-mode fiber cable. You can link two
converter devices over a distance of up to 2 kilometres.
3. The fiber link on the single-mode converter must use 8/125 or
9/125 micron single-mode fiber cable. You can link two
converters over a distance of up to 30 kilometers in full duplex
operation (DIP-Switch 2 = off). If the converter is operated in the
half-duplex mode (DIP-Switch 2 = on), the recommended
maximum distance is reduced to 412 metres (1,352 ft.)
Installing Media Converters into the Chassis
Follow the steps below to install converters into the 19”
rack-mountable chassis (part number 1-1591032-1).
1. Remove the blank plate from the chassis using a screwdriver. Put
the blank plate aside.
2. Open the rackmount bracket kit which contains two rackmount
brackets with thumbscrews and four securing screws.
3. Attach a rackmount bracket on both sides of the media converter
using a screwdriver.
