Overview

The Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter converts 10/100/1000Base-T electrical signals to 1000Base-FX optical signals. It provides an economic way to extend the network transmission distance from 100m over copper cables to 100km over fiber optical cables. It complies with IEEE802.3 10Base-T, IEEE802.3u 100Base- TX, IEEE 802.3ab 1000Base-T, and IEEE802.3z 1000Base-X. It supports auto full/half duplex, auto MDI/MID-X and can be used for many different applications.

Caution

The media converter is for indoor use;
Cover the dust cap when the fiber port is not used;
DON’T stare at the fiber port with naked eyes when it is working, or it may hurt your eyes;
WDM media converter should be in pairs.

Installation

Ethernet Port Connection

Connect the network device (work station, hub or switch) to the RJ-45 jack of the media converter by CAT5e or better TP cable. Please use quality RJ-45 and well-made patch cords. It auto identifies MDI or MDI-X cable.

Fiber Port Connection
For dual fiber port, connect TX of media converter with the RX of the network device, and RX of the media converter with the TX of the network device by a duplex fiber optic patch cord.

For single fiber optical port, connect the optical port of media converter with that of the network device by a simplex fiber optic patch cord.

Power connections
Connect the DC socket of media converter, and power supply with the power adapter.

We recommend to use our default power adapter. If not, make sure that the rated input voltage of power adapter is 5V.

Trouble shooting

Power LED is OFF
If installed on a desktop, check that the power adapter is securely connected.
If installed in our chassis, check that the unit is fully seated in the slot.
Verify that the power outlet has power output.
Try using another power adapter.
TX LINK/ACT LED is OFF
Check if the connected device is powered ON and operating properly.
Check that the TP cable is securely connected.
Make sure that the TP cable does not exceed 100 meters.
FX LINK/ACT LED is OFF
Check if the connected device is powered ON and operating properly.
Check that the fiber is securely connected.
Make sure the TX and RX port is connected correctly.
Test if the attenuation on the fiber cable does not exceed the acceptable values.
FX LINK/ACT is ON, but still problem in communication
Check if the data rate of the both sides is 100Mbps
Check if the duplex mode of the both sides is same
Check if wavelength of the both sides is same
Check if the loss budget off fiber is not exceeded.
