About the Giga-MiniMc

NOTE

Unless noted otherwise, all reference to the Giga-MiniMc in this manual are also

applicable to the Giga-MiniMc TX/SFP.

The Giga-MiniMc is a 10/100/1000 Auto Negotiating, switching miniature media
converter. The fiber port available in one pair of SC fiber connectors and/or an
SFP port which can support any fiber type; dual strand available in LC
connectors, and single strand fiber SFPs available in SC connectors. The Giga­MiniMc always operates at 1000 Mbps FDX; the copper port Auto Negotiates the
connected device’s speed and duplex mode: 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps,
and HDX or FDX (including Flow Control).

The Giga-MiniMc TX/SFP requires a *Gigabit SFP, with or without DDMI. (sold
separately through B&B Electronics). SFPs must be MSA-compliant and meet the
Class 1 Laser Safety Standard.

The Giga-MiniMc offers plug-and-play operation, including the AutoCross
feature which automatically selects between a crossover work-station or pass­through connection depending on the connected device.

*SFP’s have a 1 year warranty

Installing the Giga-MiniMc

The Giga-MiniMc installs in an B&B Electronics PowerTray/18 or can be used as a
standalone media converter. As a standalone, the Giga-MiniMc/SFP uses a

±

universal external switching power cube with 100 – 240
VDC output.

10% VAC input and 5

Powering the Giga-MiniMc

The Giga-MiniMc includes multiple powering options:

 A country-specific, high-reliability AC power adapter (included)

 IE-PowerTray/18 for Rack Mounting

LED Operation

Each Giga-MiniMc includes two LEDs, located on the RJ-45 connector.

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.

Use fiber patch cords (or connectors, if you terminate your own fiber) only

1.
from a reputable supplier; low-quality components can cause many hard-to­diagnose 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.

Store spare caps in a dust-free environment such as a sealed plastic bag or

3.
box so that when reinstalled they do not introduce any contamination to the
optics.

4.

If you suspect that the optics have been contaminated, alternate between
blasting with clean, dry, compressed air and flushing with methanol to
remove particles of dirt.

Electrostatic Discharge Precautions

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.

2.

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

After removal, always place the boards on a grounded, static-free surface,

4.
ESD pad or in a proper ESD bag. Do not slide the modules or stand alone
units over any surface.

4

WARNING!

Integrated circuits and fiber optic components are
extremely susceptible to electrostatic discharge damage. Do not
handle these components directly unless you are a qualified
service technician and use tools and techniques that conform to
accepted industry practices.
