.
The RocketLinx MC7001 industrial Ethernet to fiber media converter conforms to IEEE 802.3
and IEEE 802.3u standards with one 10/100BASE-TX and one 100BASE-FX Fast Ethernet
fiber port. The MC7001 features a slim and compact industrial design to save DIN rail space
for compact installations. In order to perform under harsh environments, the MC7001 is
housed in an industrial-grade aluminum case with IP31 standard protection.
The 4-Pin DIP switch configures the MC7001 to operate in switch mode or pure
converter mode.

Quick Installation Guide
Mounting the RocketLinx MC7001
Mount the DIN rail clip on the rear of the MC7001 to the DIN rail.

Grounding the RocketLinx MC7001
There is a grounding screw on the bottom side
of the MC7001. As shown in the picture, connect the
ground screw of the MC7001 to a grounding surface
to ensure safety and prevent noise.

Wiring the Power Inputs
The power input provides polarity reverse protection to avoid system damage.
1. Insert the positive and negative wires into the
V+ and V- contact on the terminal block connector.
2. Tighten the wire-clamp screws to prevent the power
wires from being loosened.
Note: The recommended working voltage is 24VDC (18-32VDC) or 18VAC (18-27VAC)

Connecting to the Network
1. Connecting the Ethernet Port: Connect one end of an Ethernet cable into the RJ45
port of the MC7001, and the other end is attached to a networking device. The RJ45
port supports Auto MDI/MDIX functionality. The TP LED will turn on and flash to indicate
RJ45 port’s link and activity.
2. Connecting the Fiber Port: Connect the fiber port on your MC7001 to another fiber
Ethernet device, by following the figure below. Wrong connection or fiber cable type will
cause the fiber port to not function properly.

3. For different link distances, the MC7001 provides Multi-Mode fiber and Single-Mode fiber
models. The table below illustrates fiber transceiver specifications. The fiber connector is a
standard connector or square connector (SC). To ensure your fiber converter can
transmit/receive data between the 2 nodes, the attenuation of the optical fiber cable should
not exceed the fiber converter’s Link Budget.

Note: In the IEEE standard, it suggests the available transmission distance is 2KM for 62.5/125um
fiber optical cable in 1310nm wave length. Actually, the attenuation of Multi-Mode 62.5/125um
optical fiber cable is 1.5dBm/km and the maximum link distance can up to 4 to 5km.
IEEE organization recommends maximum optical fiber cable distances as defined in the
following table:
