FCC Radio Frequency Interference Statement

Safety Certifications

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B computing device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial

environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the

instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to

cause harmful interference in which the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

The use of non-shielded I/O cables may not guarantee compliance with FCC RFI limits. This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B

limits for radio noise emission from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulation of the Canadian Department of

Communications.

Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils numériques de classe B

prescrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique publié par le ministère des Communications du Canada.

Fiber Optic Cleaning Guidelines

Fiber Optic transmitters and receivers are extremely susceptible to contamination by particles
of dirt or dust, which can obstruct the optic path and cause performance degradation. Good
system performance requires clean optics and connector ferrules.

1. Use fiber patch cords (or connectors, if you terminate your own fiber) only from a
reputable supplier; low-quality components can cause many hard-to-diagnose problems
in an installation.

2. Dust caps are installed at B&B Electronics to ensure factory-clean optical devices. These
protective caps should not be removed until the moment of connecting the fiber cable to
the device. Should it be necessary to disconnect the fiber device, reinstall the protective
dust caps.

3.

Store spare caps in a dust-free environment such as a sealed plastic bag or box so that
when reinstalled they do not introduce any contamination to the optics.

If you suspect that the optics have been contaminated, alternate between blasting with

4.
clean, dry, compressed air and flushing with methanol to remove particles of dirt.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause damage to any product, add-in modules or stand alone
units, containing electronic components. Always observe the following precautions when
installing or handling these kinds of products

1. Do not remove unit from its protective packaging until ready to install.

Wear an ESD wrist grounding strap before handling any module or component. If the

2.
wrist strap is not available, maintain grounded contact with the system unit throughout
any procedure requiring ESD protection.

3. Hold the units by the edges; do not touch the electronic components or gold connectors.

4.

After removal, always place the boards on a grounded, static-free surface, ESD pad or in a
proper ESD bag. Do not slide the modules or stand alone units over any surface

About the MiniMc

Powering the MiniMc

The MiniMc is a 10/100 Auto Negotiating miniature media converter. It is available
in a fixed optical 1x9 transceiver version, dual or single strand, as well as an SFP
version. The optical transceiver port always operates at 100 Mbps full duplex. The
copper port auto-senses the connected device’s speed (10Mbps or 100Mbps) and
duplex mode (HDX or FDX including Flow Control). The MiniMc offers plug-and­play operation, including the AutoCross MDI/MDIX feature which automatically
corrects for errors in cable selection making the distinction between a "straight
through" cable and a "crossover" cable unimportant. The MiniMc allows jumbo
packets of up to 1916 bytes.

Installing the MiniMc

The MiniMc can be installed in an B&B Electronics PowerTray/18 (B&B Electronics
P/N 850-13086) or used as a standalone converter. The MiniMc installs virtually
anywhere: as a standalone, table-top device or on a DIN rail. As a standalone device,
install MiniMc in locations with extremely limited space. Also included, are Velcro
strips to attach the device to most surfaces. A PowerTray/18 is available for high
density applications.

Powering the MiniMc

As a standalone converter the MiniMc can be powered by the supplied AC/DC wall
adapter, or an optional USB power cable (B&B Electronics P/N 806-39628) for use
with high power USB host ports.

DIN Rail Mounting

The MiniMc can be mounted with two DIN
Rail clips, a hardware option available
through B&B Electronics. The DIN Rail
clips include screws, to allow the installation
onto a DIN Rail. Install the screws into DIN
Rail clips, which should be mounted
perpendicular to the DIN Rail. Snap the
converter onto the clips. To remove the
converter from the DIN Rail, use a flat-head
screwdriver into the slot to gently pry the
converter from the rail.

NOTE

The DIN clips are designed for use on a DIN-35 rail.

The MiniMc includes multiple powering options:

 A country-specific, high-reliability AC power adapter (included)
 IE-PowerTray/18 for Rack Mounting

LED Operation

Each MiniMc includes two LEDs, located on the RJ-45 connector. LED functions are
as follows:

FX TX FX TX

FX LNK/ACT Glows green when a link is established on the fiber port; blinks green

when activity is detected on the fiber port.

TX LNK/ACT Glows green when a link is established on the copper port; blinks green

when activity is detected on the copper port.
