DFCS XGT+ Standalone Module
This User Manual describes the functions of the DFCS XGT+ Rev 1.
Product Overview
The DFCS XGT+ is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet media converter with one 10GBASE-T RJ-45 port
and one pluggable transceiver port that provides copper-to-ber and copper-to-copper media
conversion. Copper-to-ber conversion is achieved with XFP or SFP+ ber transceivers.
Copper-to-copper conversion is achieved with a CX4 XFP transceiver.
The XGT+ supports high-power (power level 4) XFP transceivers, and the latest generation
of wavelength tunable DWDM XFP transceivers.
Installation Procedure
1) Congure DIP-switches
2) Install Standalone Module and Connect Cables
3) Verify Operation
1) CONFIGURE DIP-SWITCHES
DIP-SWITCH BANK 1
The location of the DIP-switches is shown in Figure 1.
The function of DIP-switch Bank is outlined in Figure 2.

SW2 Normal P2 Loopback Enabled
SW3 Normal P2 Short Range
SW4 Normal P1 Built-In Self Test (BIST)

UP
Figure 2: DIP-switch BANK 1 Denitions
SW1 - P1 LOOPBACK “P1-LB”
When this DIP-switch is in the DOWN position (factory default), port P1 loopback is disabled.
When this DIP-switch is in the UP “P1-LB” position, loopback is enabled on port P1. When
enabled, all data received on port P1 is transmitted out port P1 and the connection between
port P1 and port P2 is interrupted.
NOTE: For the XFP model, simultaneous loopback of port P1 and port P2 requires the XFP
transceiver to support lineside loopback capability.
Page 4
724-746-5500 | blackbox.com
Installation Procedure
SW2 - P2 LOOPBACK “P2-LB”
When this DIP-switch is in the DOWN position (factory default), port P2 loopback is disabled.
When this DIP-switch is in the UP “P2-LB” position, loopback is enabled on port P2. When
enabled, all data received on port P2 is transmitted out port P2 and the connection between
port P2 and port P1 is interrupted.
NOTE: For the XFP model, simultaneous loopback of port P1 and port P2 requires the XFP
transceiver to support lineside loopback capability.
SW3 - P2 Short Range
When this DIP-switch is in the DOWN position (factory default), port P2 short range feature
is disabled. When disabled, port P2 will support up to 100 meters of CAT 6A cabling. When
this DIP-switch is in the UP “P2-SR” position, port P2 will support up to 30 meters of CAT 6A
or better cabling in a reduced power consumption mode.
SW4 - P1 BIST (SFP+ Model Only)
When this DIP-switch is in the DOWN position (factory default), port P1 Built-In Self Test is
disabled. When this DIP-switch is in the UP “P1-Tst” position, the port will transmit a Pseudo
Random Bit Sequence (PRBS).
When two XGT+ converters are connected via port P1 (Port 1 to Port 1), the BIST function is
supported. The XGT+ initiating BIST (DIP-switch SW4 UP) will generate and send a PRBS
pattern out Port 1 to the other module. The receiving XGT+ will detect a good test pattern
and return a PRBS acknowledgement test pattern back to the initiating XGT+.
A successful test will produce a green blinking (5Hz) P1 LB LED on the initiating XGT+ and
a green blinking (1Hz) P1 LB LED on the receiving XGT+. If the initiating XGT+ does not
receive a valid response, the P1 LB LED will be blinking amber (5Hz). When BIST is initiated,
the trafc received on Port 2 of both converters will be discarded.
If loopback has been initiated, the self diagnostic circuit test DIP-switch will be ignored. If self
diagnostic circuit test has been initiated, the loopback DIP-switches will be ignored.
DIP-SWITCH BANK 2
LINK MODES
SW1 and SW2 - LINK MODES
These DIP-switches configure the different link modes available on the XGT+. It is
recommended to have link modes set to Link Segment (default setting - all DOWN) during
the initial installation. After the circuit has been tested and operational, congure the module
for the desired mode. Refer to Figure 3 for conguration options.
SW1 SW2 Function

DOWN UP Asymmetrical Link Propagate P2 to P1
UP UP Symmetrical Link Propagate

SW3 and SW4 - RESERVED
These DIP-switches are for factory use only and must always remain in the DOWN (factory
default) position.
2) INSTALL STANDALONE MODULE AND CONNECT CABLES
a. The XGT+ is available as a standalone module with built-in mounting brackets. For
wall-mounting, attach the XGT+ to a wall, backboard or other at surface. For tabletop
installations, place the unit on a at level surface. Attach the rubber feet to the bottom
of the XGT+ to prevent the unit from sliding. Make sure the unit is placed in a safe, dry
and secure location.
To power the unit using the AC/DC adapter, connect the AC/DC adapter to an AC outlet.
Then connect the barrel plug at the end of the wire on the AC/DC adapter to the 2.5mm
DC barrel connector (center-positive) on the unit. Conrm that the unit has powered up
properly by checking the power status LED located on the front of the unit.
To power the unit using a DC power source, prepare a power cable using a two conductor
insulated wire (not supplied) with a 14 AWG gauge minimum. Cut the power cable to the
length required. Strip approximately 3/8 of an inch of insulation from the power cable
wires. Connect the power cables to the unit by fastening the stripped ends to the DC
power connector.
Connect the power wires to the DC power source. The Power LED should indicate the
presence of power.
WARNING: Note the wire colors used in making the positive and negative connections.
Use the same color assignment for the connection at the DC power source.
NOTE: If mounting with a safety ground attachment, use the safety ground screw at the
rear of the unit.
b. Insert the appropriate 10G SFP+ or XFP transceiver (depending on the model of the
module) into Port 1 receptacle on the XGT+. The release latch of the transceiver must
be in the closed position before insertion.
c. Connect an appropriate multimode or single-mode ber cable to the ber transceiver port
on the XGT+. It is important to ensure that the transmit (Tx) is attached to the receive
side of the device at the other end and the receive (Rx) is attached to the transmit side.
d. When using copper CX4 XFP, connect the cable between the converter and external
device using the recommended copper CX4 cable.
e. Connect the RJ-45 port via a CAT 6A or better cable to a 10GBASE-T Ethernet device.
