•If half-duplexmode is used, refer to the 512-Bit Rule (see page 9).

•If full-duplexmode is used, the 512-Bit Rule does not apply. The cable lengths are constrained by the cable requirements (see pages 1 and 2).

Connect the Fiber Cable

1.Locate or build IEEE 803.2™ compliant 100Base-FX fiber cable with male, two-stranded TX to RX connectors installed at both ends.

2.Connect the fiber cables to the SBFTF10xx-12x media converter as described:

•Connect the male TX cable connector to the female TX port.

•Connect the male RX cable connector to the female RX port.

3.Connect the fiber cables to the other device (another media converter, hub, etc.) as described:

•Connect the male TX cable connector to the female RX port.

•Connect the male RX cable connector to the female TX port.

Connect the Twisted-Pair Copper Cable

The AutoCross feature allows either MDI (straight-through) or MDI-X (crossover) cable connections to be configured automatically, according to the network conditions.

1.Locate or build IEEE 803.2™ compliant 10Base-T or 100Base-TX cables, with male, RJ-45 connectors installed at both ends.

2.Connect the RJ-45 connector at one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port on the SBFTF10xx-12x media converter.

3.Connect the RJ-45 connector at the other end of the cable to the RJ-45 port on the other device (switch, workstation, etc.).
