One-Channel Media Converter
Ports
The Converter provides one TX port and one FX port. For the FX port, it provides options of
Multi-mode fiber using SC, ST, VF-45, MT-RJ or LC connector or
Single-mode fiber using SC or ST connector or
WDM fiber using single SC connector
For the TX port, it uses RJ-45 connector and auto senses the speed of 10/100Mbps.

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:
y The ambient temperature should be between 0 to 45 degrees Celsius.
y The relative humidity should be less than 95 percent, non-condensing.
y Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the electromagnetic field (RFC) standards for IEC 801-3, Level 2 (3V/M) field strength.
y Make sure that the equipment receives adequate ventilation. Do not block the ventilation holes of the equipment.
y The power outlet should be within 1.8 meters of the product.
Connecting to Power
y This Converter is a plug-and-play device.
y Connect the supplied AC to DC power adaptor to the receptacle on the rear panel of the converter, and then attach the plug into a standard AC outlet.
