Installing fiber cable

To install a fiber cable, view Figure 10, and then do the following:

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

2.Connect the fiber cables to the industrial switch as follows:

•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 follows:

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

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

Installing copper cable

The AutoCross feature allows connecting straight-through (MDI) or crossover (MDI- X) copper cable to the RJ-45 port of a second device.

To install an Ethernet cable, view Figure 11, and then do the following:

1.Locate or build 10Base-T or 100Base-TX copper cables with male, RJ-45 connectors installed on both ends.

2.Connect the RJ-45 connector at one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port on the industrial switch.

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

Copper/fiber status LEDs

Copper LEDs

The SIBTF10xx-1xx-Mx comes equipped with status LEDs to monitor the network connections for the copper and fiber ports.

The numbered LEDs refer to the numbered copper and fiber ports. For example, LED #1 refers to the twisted-pair copper port #1; LED #2 refers to fiber port #2. See Figure 12.

Each port has three associated LEDs: Full duplex (FD), 10MB, and 100MB.
