About the IE-Giga-MiniMc

The IE-Giga-MiniMc is a 10/100/1000 Auto Negotiating switching miniature
media converter. The fiber port always operates at 1000 Mbps Full Duplex; the
copper port Auto Negotiates the connected device’s speed and duplex mode:
10/100/1000 Mbps Half Duplex; or 10 /100/1000 Mbps Full Duplex (including
Flow Control). The IE-Giga-MiniMc supports jumbo packets up to 1632 bytes.

The IE represents the unit’s use as an Industrial Ethernet device, which allows for
extended temperature operation of -25°C to +85°C for DC power and -10°C to
+50°C when using the included AC adapter.

The IE-Giga-MiniMc converter offers plug-and-play operation, including the
AutoCross feature which automatically selects between a crossover workstation
and straight-through repeater hub connection depending on the connected
device.

The IE-Giga-MiniMc can use either the included B&B Electronics universal,
external power adapter with 100 to 240 ±10% VAC input or can be wired directly
to the 7-50 VDC terminal block (for extended temperature configuration). There
is an optional IE-PowerTray/18 in which up to 18 IE-Giga-MiniMcs can be
installed.

1

Installing the IE-Giga-MiniMc

The IE-Giga-MiniMc installs virtually anywhere as a standalone device in locations
with extremely limited space. Installation options include:

 Velcro strips
 DIN rail mounting with DIN Rail clips
 A wall mount bracket
 An IE-PowerTray/18 for high density applications

Installation Tip

Several models of the IE-Giga-MiniMc support single-strand fiber for operation. Since
single-strand fiber products use optics that transmit and receive on two different
wavelengths, single-strand fiber products must be deployed in pairs. For example,
connect an IE-Giga-MiniMc, TX/SSLX-SM1310-SC (which has 1310 xmt and 1550 rcv)
to a product which has 1550 xmt and 1310 rcv, e.g. iMcV-Gigabit, TX/SSLX-SM1550­SC. The two connected products must also have the same speed and distance
capabilities (i.e. both are single-mode [20km] or both are single/PLUS [40km]).

2

Hardware Mounting Options

The IE-Giga-MiniMc can be mounted on a DIN rail or using wall mount brackets
(shown below).

DIN rail clips (part number 806-39105) and wall mount brackets (part number

.

895-39229) are available for purchase through an B&B Electronics Distributor

DIN Rail Clips

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 parallel or 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.

3

Powering the IE-Giga-MiniMc

IE-Giga-MiniMc supports multiple powering options.

•

A country-specific AC power adapter (included)

•

The 4-terminal DC power block

•

IE-PowerTray/18

•

Dual USB cable

IE-Power/5V DIN rail mount power supply

•

LED Operation

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

FX TX

LED functions are as follows (above illustration is representative):

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 amber when a link is established on the copper port;

blinks amber when activity is detected on the copper port.

DC Terminal Block Wiring Instructions

The IE-Giga-MiniMc can be powered via the DC terminal block. From a power
source, connect to any one positive and any one negative terminal on IE-Giga­MiniMc.

Connected to Chassis

NOTE

When using stranded wire, the leads must be tinned and equivalent to a 16 AWG solid
conductor. The DC terminal block is protected against mis-wiring. If the unit is mis­wired, positive power lead to the negative terminal and negative power lead to the
positive terminal, it will not function. When powering a unit with voltages near the
upper limit of the device’s specification (for example: 48 volts) take precautions to limit
the voltage at the units terminal block. When turning on high voltage DC circuits, initial
voltages may momentarily exceed the unit’s specification.

5

Cascading Power

When installing multiple IE-Giga-MiniMc units on a DIN rail, connect to one DC
input source and then cascade from one DC block to the next, until reaching the
maximum electrical current available.

6

DC Power Supply Precautions

The following precautions should be observed when installing chassis with DC
power supplies.

Check nameplate ratings to assure there is no overloading of supply circuits

1.
that could have an effect on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.

When installing 7 to 50 rated equipment, it must be installed only per the

2.
following conditions:

a.

Connect the equipment to a 7 to 50VDC supply source that is electrically
isolated form the alternating current source. The 7 to 50 VDC source
must be connected to a 7 to 50 VDC SELV source.

b.

The maximum terminal voltage is 50 VDC.

c.

Input wiring to terminal block must be routed and secured in such a
manner that it is protected from damage and stress. Do not route
wiring past sharp edges or moving parts.

d.

A readily accessible disconnect device, with a 3mm minimum contact
gap, shall be incorporated in the fixed wiring.

Grounding: reliable grounding of this equipment must be maintained.

3.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections when connecting
to power strips, rather than direct connections to the branch circuit. The
Negative Terminal is common to the grounded case.

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-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.

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.

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.

10

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

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

1.

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.

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.
