FCC Radio Frequency Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A 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 e nergy and, if not ins talled and used in
accordance with the instruction m anual, may cause harmful interfere nce 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
A 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 A prescrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique publié par le ministère des Communications du Canada.

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.

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]).

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.
