Connectors & Cables

10BASE-T RJ-45 Connector

One RJ-45 switch is provided for selecting the type of RJ-

45 connector as follows:

RJ-45 Switch		RJ-45 Type
X position		MDI-X
II position		MDI-I
RJ-45 Pin	MDI-X type MDI-I type
1	Rx+	Tx+
2	RX-	Tx-
3	Tx+	Rx+
6	Tx-	Rx-

It allows you to make all UTP connections using common straight-through UTP.

10BASE-T UTP Cable

Cable type: Category 3, 4 or 5

Maximum cable distance: 100 meters (328 feet)

Fiber Optic Connectors

Two ST connectors are provided for fiber optic cable connection. One is labeled "Tx" for transmitting operation. The other is labeled "Rx" for receiving operation.

Fiber Optic Cable

Cable type: 62.5/125 mm multimode fiber (recommended)

Maximum cable distance: 2000 meters (6500 feet)

Installation

1.Install the media converter with the DC power adapter provided. ( +12VDC, 500mA)

2.Connect the power adapter cable to the media con- verter before connecting the adapter to the AC outlet.

3.Do not connect more than two media converters in series.

Making Network Connections
