SAFETY INFORMATION

CAUTION: Circuit devices are sensitive to static electricity, which can damage their delicate electronics. Dry weather conditions or walking across a carpeted floor may cause you to acquire a static electrical charge.
To protect your device, always:

• Touch the metal chassis of your computer to ground the static electrical charge before you pick up the circuit device.
• Pick up the device by holding it on the left and right edges only.

OVERVIEW

INTRODUCTION

The unmanaged PoE PSE Media Converter is a next generation Ethernet media converter offering one gigabit per second performance. It is used in Ethernet copper to fiber media conversion applications over long distances. The media converter delivers one (10M/100M/1G) RJ-45 with one PoE port (supports 802.3af/at up to 15.4 W/30 W) and one GbE SC or LC port. The converter provides high hardware performance and environment flexibility for Ethernet applications.

AVAILABLE MODELS

Three models are available:

• LPS500A-MM-LC-R3: TP to Multimode Fiber Media Converter with RJ-45 and LC connectors
• LPS500A-MM-SC-R3: TP to Multimode Fiber Media Converter with RJ-45 and SC connectors
• LPS500A-SM-10K-LC-R3: TP to Singlemode Fiber Media Converter with RJ-45 and SC connectors

FEATURES

• RJ-45 link supports IEEE 802.3ab 1000BASE-T Gbps Ethernet over twisted-pair cable
• Fiber link supports IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-X Gbps Ethernet over fiberoptic cable
• Provides IEEE 802.4at maximum 30 W Power over Ethernet (PoE)
• DIP switch sets PoE, LFP, and normal/cut-through configurations
• Power over Ethernet (PoE): The PoE converter provides PoE power and supports various PoE PD device types (IP-phone, IP camera, WiFi-AP) for end users to eliminate an extra power cable to these devices
• Link Fault Passthrough (LFP): When this is enabled, the UTP receiver is passed to the fiber transmitter to make the media converter
  appear transparent to the end devices that are connected. It uses LFP to indicate when far-end fault issues occur. If a fault occurs, the end devices indicate a failure for troubleshooting.

 INSTALLING THE CONVERTER

PSE TP-Fiber Converter with Powered Device (PD)

1. Connect the PSE media converter to an AC power source.

2. Install the UTP media cable to the IEEE 802.3af PD converter.
   FIGURE 3-1. MEDIA CONVERTER CONNECTIONS
   NOTE: It can work as a pure converter that connects to the non-PoE converter.

3. Install the media cable for network connection.

WARNING:

• Verify that the AC input conforms to your country AC power requirement and then insert the power plug.
• Ensure that the power of PSE device is turned on
• Install the media cable for network connection

WDM SINGLE FIBER MODEL

The TP-Fiber converter is specially designed with an optic Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) model that can transport a bidirectional full duplex signal over a single fiber simultaneously.

RX (Receive) 1550 nm
1550-nm singlemode 10 km| TX (Transmit) 1550 nm
RX (Receive) 1310 nm

NOTE: The 1310 nm and 1550 nm models must be installed in pairs, i.e., install 1310 nm model at one end and 1550 nm model at the other one.

FIGURE 4-1. POWER FROM PSE TO PD

LINK FAULT PASSTHROUGH

The LFP (link fault passthrough) in a TX/FX converter application is controlled by the software and instantly takes effect. Link status on one port is propagated to the other port to notice the remote nodes. If the TP port is unplugged, this converter stops transmission on the fiber port. This causes the remote fiber node link to fail. An LED shows the link failure on both TP and fiber ports. If the fiber link fails, this converter restarts auto- negotiation on the TP port but always stays in the link failure state. This causes the remote TP node link to fail. An LED also shows the link failure on both TP and fiber ports. Refer to Figure 5-1 shown below for the normal status when the link succeeds.
Also refer to Figure 5-2 and Figure 5-3 for the error status when TP Cable A, Fiber Cable B, or Fiber Cable C fails to connect.
NOTE: Link fault pass through (LFP) function only takes effect as S1-Bit2 (see Figure 5-4) is enabled. Disabled S1-Bit2 will turn this media converter into a general one.

NOTE:
Black circle: Indicates LNK/ACT LED Lit
Open circle (black outline): Indicates LNK/ACT LED Off
NOTE: The LFP (Link Fault Passthrough) function can work with different link partners (for example: Fiber port on Switch). It does not need both converters with the same model in pairs.
