Chapter 2: Overview: Compact Media Converter TP/BNC 50 Ohm
2. Overview: About the Compact Media Converter TP/BNC 50-ohm
With the Compact Media Converter TP/BNC, 50-ohm coax cable installations become more accessible.
The Compact Media Converter TP/BNC is a 10 Mbps Ethernet Twisted Pair to 50-ohm Coax cable (e.g. RG-59) Media Converter, that allows the continued use of the already-installed 50-ohm analog cable, eliminating the need to re-cable. As a low-cost, IEEE 802.3 single-conversion, 1U high, standalone media converter, the Compact Media Converter TP/BNC converter 10Base-T twisted pair to 10Base-2 thin coax and includes one RJ­45 connector and one RG-49 BNC connector. Each Compact Media Converter TP/BNC includes diagnostic LEDs and an internal 100/240 V AC power supply.

Chapter 3 Installation
3. Install the Compact Media Converter TP/BNC 50-ohm
The Compact Media Converter TP/BNC converters come ready to install. Deploy Compact Media Converter TP/BNC units in pairs, or connect a Compact Media Converter TP/BNC converter to another Black Box converter. To install a Compact Media Converter TP/BNC converter, first make sure that the unit is placed on a flat surface. Attach the cables between the Compact Media Converter TP/BNC and each device that will be interconnect, the plug the unit into a reliable, filtered power source. Make sure to connect the BNC port of the Compact Media Converter TP/BNC converter only to 50-ohm coaxial cable.
When connecting an Ethernet cable to the Compact Media Converter TP/BNC, make sure the cable corresponds to the Crossover/Pass-Through switch. When using the Crossover cable, make sure the switch is out, in the “X” setting. The switch can be pressed again to change the setting.

Chapter 4: Operation
4. Operation
4.1 Compact Media Converter TP/BNC 50-ohm Front Panel
The LEDs
Each Compact Media Converter TP/BNC features diagnostic LEDs. The following illustration shows the location of the LEDs, and other features, on the Compact Media Converter TP/BNC. The LED functions for the Compact Media Converter TP/BNC are as follows:
TP LNK/ACT Glows yellow when a twisted pair link is established and flickers when
data is being received BNC ACT Flickers green in normal operation indicating activity on the BNC port BNC COL Flickers red in normal operation indicating activity on the BNC segment POWER Flickers yellow when the unit is receiving power
4.2 Twisted Pair Crossover/Pass-Through Switch
The twisted pair port on the Compact Media Converter TP/BNC features a push-button switch, located next to the twisted pair connector, for selecting a crossover workstation connection or Pass-Through repeater/hub connection. Select a Pass-Through connection by pressing the push-button IN. A Crossover connection is selected when the push-button is OUT. If uncertain whether a Crossover or Pass-Through connection is needed, set the push­button to the position that makes the TP LNK (link) LED glow.
4.3 BNC Port Termination
The Compact Media Converter TP/BNC features a 2-position, termination switch (TERM) next to the BNC connector that allows a think coaxial segment to be terminated at the port without the use of an external ‘T’ connector/terminator. (See the diagram in the Compact Media Converter TP/BNC 50-ohm Front Panel section.)
If a ‘T’ connector/terminator is used, this switched must be set in the OFF (disabled) position. Otherwise, double termination will result, which will corrupt the signal.

Chapter 6: Fiber Optic Cleaning Guidelines
6. Fiber Optic Cleaning Guidelines
Fiber Optic transmitters and receivers are extremely sus ceptible to contamination by particles of dirt or dust, which can obstruct the optic path and cause performance degradation. Good s y stem 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 Black Box t o ensur e factory-clean optical devices.
These protective caps should not be removed u ntil the mom ent of connecting the fiber cable to the device. Should it be necessary to disconnect the fiber device, reinstall the protective dust caps.
3. Store spar e c a ps i n a dust- f ree env ironment 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.

Chapter 7: Electrostatic Discharge Precautions
7. 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.
4. After removal, always place the boards on a grounded, static-free surface,
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.
