Link Loss Forward:

Copper to Fiber: If copper port link down, then media converter will forced fiber to link down.

Fiber to Copper: If Fiber port link down, the media converter will forced copper port to link down.

Cabling

•Twisted-pair segments can be Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) or Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cabling. The cable must comply with the IEEE 802.3 10/100/1000Base-T standard for Category 5e/6. The cable between the converter and the link partner (switch, hub, workstation, etc.) must be 100 meters (328 ft.) or less in length.

•Fiber segments using Single Mode connectors must use 9/125µm Single Mode fiber cable. The maximum link distance in full duplex operation is 10 Kilometers (6.2 miles). The maximum link distance in half duplex operation is 412 meters (1352 ft).

•The maximum distance of fiber segments using Multi-Modeconnectors measures 550 meters (1804 ft.) with 50/125µm or 62.5/125µm Multi-Mode fiber cable.

Network Connection

A.Select the appropriate length Category 5e or 6 twisted pair cable. Connect one end of the twisted pair cable to the RJ-45 connector on the converter and the other end of twisted pair cable to the RJ- 45 connector on any 10/100/1000Base-T device.

B.Connect one end of a fiber jumper to the SC connector on this converter and the other end of the fiber jumper to the SC connector on the other 1000Base-SX/LX device.

C.Attach the power adapter DC jack to the converter. Verify that the Power LED is on.

D.Verify that the UTP “LK/ACT” LEDs light when cable connection is installed correctly. Verify that Fiber “LK/ACT” LED blinks to indicate network activity.

Troubleshooting

•Verify that you are using the right power adapter, DC 5V, 2A (minimum). Using a power adapter with DC output greater than 5V could result in damage to the unit and/or personal injury.

•Confirm the proper UTP/Fiber cable is being used. The Single Mode converter must use Single Mode fiber optic cable.
