FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION AND INDUSTRY

CANADA RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENTS

Class B Digital Device. 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 in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or telephone reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which

the receiver is connected.

• Consult an experienced radio /T V technician for help.

Caution:

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

To meet FCC requirements, shielded cables and power cords are required to connect this device to a personal computer or other Class B certified device.

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 Industry Canada.

Le présent appare il 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 Industrie Canada.

Chapter 2: Overview

2. Overview

2.1 Introduction

The Pure Networking LGC200A, LGC201A and LGC202A are Gigabit Media Converters. The SFP port of the LGC200A supports hot-swappable, Gigabit SFP modules. The LGC201A has a dual SC multimode fiber connector, and the LGC202A has a dual SC single-mode fiber connector.

Use the media converter s to join a 100 0BASE-TX segment to a 1000 BASE-SX or 1000BASE-L X segment on your network, or use them in pairs to extend the 328-feet (100-m) distance limitation of copper-based Ethernet.

Three converter models are available:

• LGC200A: This SFP module media converter transmits/receives data based on the

SFP module that is installed.

• LGC201A: This fiber SC media converter transmits/receives data by 850-nm short-wave laser over multimode fiber.

• LGC202A: This fiber SC media converter transmit s/ receives data by 1310-nm

short-wave laser over single-mode fiber.

2.2 Features

• Complies with 802.3ab and 802.3z standards.

• Provid es (1) SC /LC connector or (1) SFP module slot and (1) RJ-45 connec tor.

• Both T X and FX ports work at 1000 Mbps in full-duplex mode.

• Supports Auto MDI /MDI-X for the TX port.

• Extends fiber distance up to 0.55 kilometers for multimode fiber and 15 kilometers

for single-mode fiber.

• Easy-to-view LED indicators provide status to easily monitor net work activity.

• Uses a 9-VDC, 600 mA ex ternal power supply (included ).
