Product Features

Extends a Gigabit Ethernet connection to an open SFP port
Hardened material allows the media converters to withstand high operating temperatures and provide ESD/RFI and surge protection
Open SFP port allows for a variety of SFP transceivers to be used
LED indicators monitor Ethernet and fiber link status
DIP switches allow for Line Loop Back (LLB), Link Fault Signaling (LFS), and Reserve and FX100 functions
Link Fault Signaling (LFS) LED will immediately illuminate to indicate when a cable has been severed or another cause for disruption has occurred
Line Loop Back (LLB) tests the copper network connection
Auto MDI/MDI-X functionality removes the need for crossover cabling

Installation

Notes:

The following installation instructions refer to an installation in which two media converters are used.
To avoid damage due to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), it is recommended you handle the product while wearing an ESD wrist grounding strap or by touching a conductive surface (such as metal) to discharge any potential ESD prior to handling the product.

Using Cat5e/6 cable, connect the RJ45 port on the media converter to your network.
Connect a transceiver (such as Tripp Lite’s N286-Series) to the open SFP port on the media converter. Then connect fiber cabling matching the transceiver type to the transceiver’s port, as well as a second matching transceiver and media converter.
Using Cat5e/6 cable, connect the RJ45 port on the second media converter to your network device (workstation, hub, switch, etc.).
Connect the external power supplies included with each media converter and plug them into a power source.

Wiring Redundant Power Inputs

You can use “Terminal Block (PWR)” for primary power and “Terminal Block (RPS)” for secondary power/redundant power input. The power input diagram is as follows:

Insert the terminal block connector accessory, which includes “PWR” and “RPS” into the terminal block receptor.

Link Fault Signaling (LFS)
When the LFS DIP Switch is enabled (#6), an alarm indicator will illuminate to indicate when a cable has been severed or when some other cause of disruption in service has occurred. The LFS function monitors both copper and fiber segments for a total service report.
