CSM-G200 Series Ethernet-to-Fiber Media Converters
Installation Guide
Overview
Introduction
The CSM-G200 Series is a Gigabit Ethernet to optical fiber slide-in media
converter module and is part of the NRack System. It provides Ethernet media
conversion from 10/100/1000 BaseT(X) to 100/1000 BaseFX (SFP slot) and can be
installed in every chassis of the NRack System.
The CSM-G200 Series includes the following models:
- CSM-G200-1221: 10/100/1000BaseT(X)-to-100/1000BaseSFP slide-in media converter module
Installation
The CSM-G200 media converter slide-in module can be hot-swapped, which means
the chassis does not need to be powered off or removed during installation.
Align the slide-in module with the chassis installation slot so that the panel
fastener screw is at the top of the module. Carefully slide the slide-in
module into the slot while aligning the module’s circuit board with the
installation guide.
Ensure that the slide-in module is firmly seated inside the chassis. Push in
and rotate the attached panel fastener screw clockwise to secure the module to
the chassis.
Why Convert Ethernet to Fiber
Fiber communication not only extends the communication distance but also
provides many helpful features.
-
IMMUNITY FROM ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE:
Electromagnetic interference or radio frequency interference does not affect fiber. Thus, fiber provides a clean communication path and is immune to cross- talk. -
INSULATION:
Optical fiber is an insulator; the glass fiber eliminates the need for using electric currents as the communication medium. -
SECURITY:
Conventional electric means cannot tap fiber. Furthermore, fiber is very difficult to tap into optically. Radio and satellite communication signals can be captured easily for decoding. -
RELIABILITY & MAINTENANCE:
Fiber is immune to adverse temperature and moisture conditions, does not corrode or lose its signal, and is not affected by short circuits, power surges, or static electricity.

Unit mm (inch) Electrostatic Discharge Warning!
To protect the product from damage due to electrostatic discharge, we
recommend that you wear a grounding device when handling your CSM-G200 slide-
in modules.
Communication Connections
The CSM-G200 Series has one 10/100/1000BaseT(X) Ethernet port and one
100/1000BaseFX (SFP slot) fiber port.
RJ45 Ethernet Port Connection
The CSM-G200 has a 10/100/1000BaseT(X) Ethernet port located on the front
panel to connect to Ethernet-enabled devices.
When connected to a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port, the pinouts and cable wiring
diagrams for both the MDI (NIC-type) and MDI-X (HUB/switchtype) ports for both
straight-through and crossover Ethernet cables are:

Ethernet Port Connection
1000BaseT(X) data is transmitted on differential TRD+/- signal pairs over
copper wires. When connected to a 1000 Mbps Ethernet port, the pinouts and
cable wiring diagrams for both the MDI (NIC-type) and MDI-X (HUB/switch-type)
ports for both straight-through and crossover Ethernet cables are:
MDI/MDI-X Port Pinouts

1000BaseSFP Fiber Port Connections
The Gigabit Ethernet ports on the CSM-G200 are 1000BaseSFP Fiber ports, which
require using Gigabit mini-GBIC fiber transceivers to work properly.
The concept behind the LC port and cable is straightforward. Suppose you are
connecting devices I and II. Contrary to electrical signals, optical signals
do not require a circuit to transmit data. One of the optical lines is used to
transmit data from device I to device II, and the other optical line is used
to transmit data from device II to device I for full-duplex transmission.
Remember to connect the Tx (transmit) port of device I to the Rx (receive)
port of device II, and the Rx (receive) port of device I to the Tx (transmit)
port of device II. If you are making your own cable, we suggest you label the
two sides of the same line with the same letter (A-to-A and B-to-B, as shown
below). ATTENTION
The CSM-G200 is only compatible with transceiver modules from Moxa’s SFP-1G
Series and SFP-1FE Series. If you are using the SFP-1FESLC-T, SFP-1FELLC-T, or
SFP-1FEMLC-T, use version V1.3 or above to ensure that the CSM-G200 media
converter functionality works properly.
ATTENTION
This is a Class 1 Laser/LED product. To avoid causing serious damage to your
eyes, do not stare directly into the laser beam.

Auto MDI/MDI-X Connection
The Auto MDI/MDI-X function allows users to connect the Moxa CSMG00’s
10/100/1000BaseT(X) ports to any kind of Ethernet device, regardless of the
type of thernet cable used for the connection. This means that you can use
either a straight-through or crossover cable to connect the CSM-G200 to
Ethernet devices.
Auto-Negotiation and Speed Sensing
All the CSM-G200’s RJ45 Ethernet ports independently support
autonegotiation for transmission speeds of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps in
operations, according to the IEEE 802.3u standard.
This means that some nodes could operate at 10 Mbps, while other nodes are
operating at 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps. Auto-negotiation takes place when an RJ45
cable connection is made, and then each time a LINK is enabled. The CSM-G200
indicates its capability for using 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps
transmission speeds; the device at the other end of the cable is expected to
indicate similarly.
Depending on what type of device is connected, this will cause an agreement to
operate at a speed of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps.
If the CSM-G200’s RJ45 Ethernet port is connected to a non-negotiating device,
it will default to a speed of 10 Mbps and half-duplex mode, as required by the
IEEE 802.3u standard.
