Product Usage Instructions
To use the SR-100-SFP DIN Rail Media Converter, follow these steps:
- Mount the media converter on a DIN rail or inside distribution boxes using the native DIN Rail enclosure. The enclosure includes a grounding clip, eliminating the need for add-on brackets.
- Connect the media converter to your network by linking the# 100Base-TX copper port to your copper-based device or network using# a CAT5/6/7 cable.
- If required, insert an SFP transceiver into the empty slot of the media converter. Ensure that the SFP transceiver is compatiblewith the intended fiber connection (multimode or single mode).
- Connect the fiber optic cable to the SFP transceiver. Ensure that the fiber optic cable is compatible with the SFP transceiver and the desired fiber connection (multimode or single mode).
- Power the media converter by connecting it to a power source using either the dual terminal block power connector or theT-Bus.
- Enable Auto-Negotiation and Auto-MDIX to automatically configure the connection between the media converter and the connected device. This allows for the use of either a# straight-through or crossover-type cable.
- If desired, enable Link Pass-Through and Far-End Fault features to make the media converter appear transparent to the end devices and minimize data loss during faults.
- Monitor the status of the media converter and troubleshoot any issues using the advanced features provided.

SR-100-SFP Fiber Media Converter Features: 100Base-TX to 100Base-X
- DIN Rail Enclosure
- Easily mount on a DIN rail or inside distribution boxes using native DIN Rail enclosure with a grounding clip. No need for add-on brackets.
- Auto-Negotiation
- The media converter supports auto-negotiation on the fast ethernet 100Base-TX interface.
- Auto-MDIX
- Auto-MDIX (automatic medium-dependant interface crossover) detects the signaling onthe 100Base-TX interface to determine the type of cable connected (straight-through or crossover) and automatically configures the connection when enabled. With Auto-MDIX enabled, either a straight-through or crossover-type cable can be used to connect the media converter to the device on the other end of the cable.
- Link Pass-Through
- With Link Pass-Through the state of the 100Base-TX receiver is passed to the 100Base-X transmitter to make the media converter appear transparent to the end devices that are connected. In addition, if Far-End Fault is enabled the media converter can turn off the100Base-TX transmitter when a FAR-End Fault is received.
- Using Link Pass-Through with Far-End Fault minimizes data loss when a fault occurs. Should a fault occur, the end devices have the indication of a failure available to them making troubleshooting easier.
- Far-EndFault (FEF)
- The media converter implements the 802.3 standards for Far-End Fault for the indication and detection of remote fault conditions on the 100Base-X fiber connection. With Far-EndFault enabled the media converter transmits the Far-End Fault Indication over the 100Base-X fiber connection whenever a receive failure is detected on the 100Base-Xfiber connection. The media converter continuously monitors the 100Base-X fiber connection for a valid signal.
- The action the media converter takes on receiving a Far-End Fault Indication is dependent on the Link Pass Through switch setting.
- Duplex
- Full and half duplex operation supported.
- Pause(IEEE802.3xy)
- Pause signaling is an IEEE feature that temporarily suspends data transmission between two devices in the event that one of the devices becomes overwhelmed. The fastethernet media converter supports pause negotiation on the 100Base-TX copper connection.
- VLAN
- The media converter is transparent to VLAN-tagged packets.
- Remote LoopBack
- The media converter is capable of performing a loopback on the fiber port

- On: Copper link is present. Blinking quickly: Copper link present and receiving data.Blinking slowly: Copper link disabled because of fiber link loss. Off: No copper linkpresent
Switches – accessible by sliding the chassis open
- Auto-Negotiation
- Auto (Default – Up): In this mode of operation the media converter will negotiate Ethernet parameters on the copper connection. This will ensure the most optimal connection parameters will be in effect. If the copper link partner does not support Auto-negotiation, the media converter will default to 100 Mbps and Half Duplex mode.
- Off: Auto Negotiation should only be turned off, if the copper link partner does not support Auto Negotiation. When the Auto-Negotiation switch is set to the OFF position, the media converter will operate at 100 Mbps and Full Duplex mode.
- Smart Link Pass-Through
- Smart Link Pass-Through (Default-Up): In this mode, the link state on one connection is directly reflected through the media converter to the other connection. If link is lost on one of the connections, then the other link will be brought down by the media converter. If the installation has a media converter on both ends of the fiber link and both are setup for Link Pass-Through, then a loss of copper link on the far end device will propagate through both media converters and will result in a loss of copper link at the near end device. This would, therefore, resemble a direct copper connection.
- Standard Mode (Down): In this mode, the links on the fiber and copper sides can be brought up and down independently of each other. A loss of link on either the fiber ports or copper ports can take place without affecting the other connection
- Pause
- Auto (Deafult-Up): When Auto-Negotiation has been set to Auto, the media converter will use this setting for its Ethernet parameter negotiation on the copper connection.
- Half: The media converter will not negotiate support for the Pause feature.
- Loopback
- Disabled (Default-Up): The loopback feature is disabled. This is the normal position for regular operation. The switch must be set to this position for data to pass through the media converter.
- Enabled: This is a test mode. All data received on the receive (RX) fiber connection is looped back to the transmit (TX) fiber connection. The state of the copper is not relevant and no data or link status is passed through to the copper side.
- Far-End Fault(FEF)
- Enabled (Defualt-Up): If the media converter detects a loss of fiber signal on the fiber receiver, it will immediately send a FEF on the fiber link. This notifies the fiber linkpartner that an error condition exists on the fiber connection. If the remote media converter is set up for FEF, and the local media converter is set up with Link Pass-Through, a loss of fiber link on either the transmit or receive line will be passed through to the local copper connection to notify the connected device. If the media converter has been set to Link Pass-Through mode, the effect will be the same asFEF since the link loss on the fiber receiver will bring down the copper link, which willin turn cause the transmit fiber link to be brought down.
- Disabled: The media converter will not monitor for or generate Far End Fault.

Fast Ethernet to IP Cameras
Connect IP Cameras to Fast Ethernet Backbone
Extend the reach to IP cameras using fiber media converters. Stand-alone Media
Converters are placed at the remote end connecting cameras with copper
interfaces to fiber optic cabling. The fiber can extend the distance using
single mode or multimode fiber back to a control center. A media converter
chassis located in the data closet at the control center accepts the fiber
signal, converts it, and connects to the copper equipment at the main site
.
Fast Ethernet Fiber to Wireless Access Points
Connect Wireless Access Points to Fast Ethernet Backbone
Extend the reach to wireless access points ( AP ) using fiber media
converters. When a company deploys a wireless network, APs need to be set up
throughout the facility to ensure complete coverage for reliability. The
network manager will likely need to extend further than the 100 meters allowed
copper cable to reach many of the APs.
Stand-alone Media Converters are placed at the remote end connecting APs with
