FCC Warning
This device has been tested and found to comply
with limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 2 and 15 of 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 and radiates radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the user’s manual, it may cause interference in
which case users will be required to correct
interference at their own expenses.
CE Warning
This is a Class B product. In a domestic
environment, this product may cause radio
interference in which case the user may be required
to take adequate measures.

Introduction
This Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter Series is
designed to bridge a 10/100/1000BaseT(X) signal to
a 1000BaseSX/LX signal. It’s used to extend the
distance connection between two Gigabit Ethernet
twisted-pair devices via fiber cables transparently
without any performance degradation.
This Media Converter Series is based on the
switching hub design. It supports Auto-Negotiation
and Flow Control function on the twisted-pair port.
Besides, it can provide different types of fiber
connectors, such as SC, LC and SFP for multi-mode
or single-mode cables.

Key Features
Compliant with IEEE 802.3 10BaseT, IEEE
802.3u,100BaseTX, IEEE 802.3ab 1000BaseT
and IEEE 802.3z 1000BaseSX/LX Standards
1x 10/100/1000BaseT(X) Ethernet TP Port and
1x 1000BaseSX/LX Gigabit Ethernet Fiber Port
or 1x Gigabit SFP Open Slot Fiber port
One SFP open slot can support either
Multi-Mode or Single- Mode SFP Module
TP Port can support Half/Full-Duplex
Auto-MDI/MDI-X and Auto-Negotiation
Adjustable DIP Switch for LLF/LFP function
(Link Fault Pass-through)
Multiple Optical Fiber Connectors
Connector Type: SC, ST , LC or SFP
Distance: MM (220/550M) , SM (10km, 20km…)
Options for 19” Converter Chassis for up to
16-slot with redundant power supply for
additional expansion use
Installation
I. DC Input & External Power Adapter
The External Power Adapter specification:
AC Input range from 90VAC to 260VAC
AC frequency range from 47Hz to 63Hz, TUV,
CE, UL Safety
Power Adapter DC Output is +5VDC 1.4A
The device DC Input is +5VDC 1.4A.

II. TP port (RJ-45)
The device TP port support Auto-MDIX,
Auto-Negotiation and Flow Control functions. The
cable length up to 100 meters is for Cat5, Cat5e or
Cat6 shielded/unshielded twisted-pair cable.
III. The Fiber Port
There’re different types of fiber connectors, such as
SC, LC and SFP for multi-mode or single-mode fiber
cables.
IV. DIP Switch Setting: (LLF/LFP Function)
V. Link Loss Forwarding (LLF) / Link Fault
Pass-through (LFP) Function
When LLF/LFP function is enabled, no matter the
device of TP port or fiber port is loose, linking status
on TP or fiber port will inform their connected device.
If the TP port is unplugged, the converter stops
transmitting over the fiber port, causing the remote
fiber node link to fail. The LED will show link failure
on both the TP and fiber ports. If the fiber link fails,
the converter causes the remote TP node link to fail.
The LED also shows the link failure on both the TP
and fiber ports. The figures below show normal
status when the link succeeds and the error status
on TP cable (A / D) or fiber cable (B/C) fails to

connect.
Note :
Warning :
When the setting of the DIP switch is
changed, the power has to be turned off
and the new setting will be effective
after turned on again.
