One-Channel Media Converter
Physical Ports
Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter
This converter provides one TX port and one 1000Base-SX/LX/BX port. For the 1000Base-SX/LX/BX
port, 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.
Port Status LEDs
The LED indicators give you instant feedback on status of the converter:

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 32 and 122 degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 50 degrees
Celsius).
• 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 of
the equipment.
• The power outlet should be within 1.8 meters of the product.
Connecting to Power
This Converter is a plug-and-play device.
Connect the supplied AC to DC power adapter to the receptacle at the back of the converter.
Attach the plug into a standard AC outlet.
Installing in a Chassis
The Converter is designed to fit into any of the expansion slots on a rackmount chassis.
• Unscrew the carrier from the desired expansion slot on the chassis.
• Fit the converter onto the carrier.
• When the converter is completely seated onto the carrier, insert the carrier to the guide rails of the
expansion slot.
• Carefully slide in the carrier until it is fully and firmly fit the chassis.
• Fasten the carrier to the chassis by the screws.
<NOTE> Never insert any converter into the chassis directly without using the
supplied carriers. The carriers allow secure and consistent placement of the
converters into the chassis’ backplane without causing any damage.
