One-Channel Media Converter

Ports

This converter provides one TX port and one dual rate
100Base-FX/BX or 1000Base-SX/LX/BX fiber interface. For
the dual rate 100Base-FX/BX or 1000Base-SX/LX/BX fiber
interface, it provides options of multi-mode/single-mode or
WDM multi-mode/single-mode fiber. For the TX port, it uses
RJ-45 connector and supports auto MDIX for uplink purpose.

Installation

This chapter gives step-by-step installation instructions for the
Converter.

Selecting a Site for the Equipment

As with any electric device, you should place the equipment
where it will not be subjected to extreme temperatures,
humidity, or electromagnetic interference. Specifically, the site
you select should meet the following requirements:

 The ambient temperature should be between -5 to 55 degrees Celsius (-

23 and 131 degrees Fahrenheit).

 The relative humidity should be less than 95 percent, non-condensing.
 Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the electromagnetic

field (RFC) standards for IEC 801-3, Level 2 (3V/M) field strength.

 Make sure that the equipment receives adequate ventilation. Do not

block the ventilation holes on each side of the equipment.

 The power outlet should be within 1.8 meters of the product.
