About This Guide
This guide is intended for installation engineers and users of the Westermo products.
It includes information on safety and regulations, a product description, installation instructions and technical specifications.
Safety and Regulations
Warning signs are provided to prevent personal injuries and/or damages to the product.
The following levels are used:
Level of warning| Description| Consequence personal injury|
Consequence material damage
---|---|---|---
WARNING| Indicates a potentially hazardous situation| Possible death or major injury| Major damage to the product
CAUTION| Indicates a potentially hazardous situation| Minor or moderate injury| Moderate damage to the product
NOTICE| Provides information in order to avoid misuse of the product,
confusion or misunderstanding| No personal injury| Minor damage to the product
NOTE| Used for highlighting general, but important information| No personal
injury| Minor damage to the product
Before installation:
Read this manual completely and gather all information on the product. Make sure that you understand it fully. Check that your application does not exceed the safe operating specifications for this product.
SAFETY DURING INSTALLATION
The product must be installed and operated by qualified service personnel and installed into an apparatus cabinet or similar, where access is restricted to service personnel only.
During installation, ensure a protective earthing conductor is first connected to the protective earthing terminal (only valid for metallic housings). Westermo recommends a crosssectional area of at least 4 mm2.
If the product does not have a protective earthing terminal, then the DIN-rail must be connected to protective earth. Upon removal of the product, ensure that the protective earthing conductor, or the connection to earth via the DIN-rail, is disconnected last.
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE
Do not open an energized product. Hazardous voltage may occur when connected
to a power supply.
PROTECTIVE FUSE
The power supply wiring must be sufficiently fused. It must be possible to
disconnect manually from the power supply. Ensure compliance to national
installation regulations.
Replacing the internal fuse must only be performed by Westermo qualified personell.
REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE
To reduce the risk of fire, use only telecommunication line cords with a cable
diameter of AWG 26 or larger. Regarding power cable dimensions, see Interface
Specifications.
CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT
Do not look directly info a fibre optical port or any connected fibre, although the product is designed to meed the Class 1 Laser regulations and complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11.
FIBRE OPTIC HANDLING
Fibre optic equipment need special treatment. It is very sensitive to dust and
dirt. If the fibre is disconnected from the product, the protective plugs on
the transmitter/receiver must be connected.
The protective plugs must be kept on during transportation. The fibre optics
cables must be handled the same way.
CORROSIVE GASES
If the product is placed in a corrosive environment, it is important that all unused connector sockets are protected with a suitable plug, in order to avoid corrosion attacks on the gold plated connector pins.
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)
Prevent electrostatic discharge damages to internal electronic parts by discharging your body to a grounding point (e.g. use a wrist strap).
Care recommendations
Follow the care recommendations below to maintain full operation of product and to fulfil the warranty obligations:
- Do not drop, knock or shake the product. Rough handling above the specification may cause damage to internal circuit boards.
- Use a dry or slightly water-damp cloth to clean the product. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong detergents.
- Do not paint the product. Paint can clog the product and prevent proper operation.
If the product is used in a manner not according to specification, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
If the product is not working properly, contact the place of purchase, nearest
Westermo distributor office or Westermo technical support.
Cleaning of the optical connectors
In the event of contamination, the optical connectors should be cleaned by the use of forced nitrogen and some kind of cleaning stick.
Recommended cleaning fluids:
- Methyl-, ethyl-, isopropyl- or isobutyl-alcohol
- Hexane
- Naphtha
Product disposal
This symbol means that the product shall not be treated as unsorted municipal waste when disposing of it. It needs to be handed over to an applicable collection point for recycling electrical and electronic equipment.
By ensuring the product is disposed of correctly, you will help to reduce hazardous substances and prevent potential negative consequences to both environment and human health, which could be caused by inappropriate disposal.

Description
The MCW-211-F1G-T1G is an unmanaged media converter with one SFP fibre port supporting 100 Mbit/s or Gbit Ethernet and one copper port supporting 10/100 Mbit/s or Gbit Ethernet. It is designed for easy use in heavy duty industrial, maritime and rail trackside applications. The product supports 802.1Q long packets which allow all standard industrial Ethernet protocols to be used.
The Westermo range of 100 Mbit or Gbit Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers are available as multimode, singlemode or Bi-Di transceivers with distance up to 120 km.
The MCW-211-F1G-T1G is designed for use in industrial applications with dual 9.6 to 57.6 VDC power input. The unique “tri-galvanic” isolation provides isolation between the ports and the power supply, and avoids ground loop currents. The IP21 rating ensures that the product can be installed in locations where condensed water may occur.
Only industrial grade components are used which gives the MCW-211-F1G-T1G an MTBF of 1.426.000 hours and ensures a long service life. A wide operating temperature range of -40 to +74°C (-40 to +165°F) can be achieved with no moving parts.
The MCW-211-F1G-T1G has been tested both by Westermo and external test houses to meet EMC, isolation, vibration and shock standards, all to the highest levels suitable for heavy industrial, trackside and maritime environments.
