Operation Manual

FCC Radio Frequency Interference Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B computing device, pursuant to Part 15 of the 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, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the

instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to

cause harmful interference in which the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

The use of non-shielded I/O cables may not guarantee compliance with FCC RFI limits. This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B

limits for radio noise emission from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulation of the Canadian Department of

Communications.

Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils numériques de classe B

prescrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique publié par le ministère des Communications du Canada.

About IE–ModeConverter

The IE–ModeConverter is a pure mode converter that converts any fiber optics type
to any other fiber optics type. This product is a Protocol independent converter and
is not intended for applications that require retiming or any Layer 2 functions. The
IE–ModeConverter supports extended temperature operation.

The IE–ModeConverter requires two small form-factor (SFP) modules (sold
separately), which provide greater fiber flexibility in the network environment. The
hot-swappable nature of the SFPs and the numerous fiber modes and types available
in SFPs allow for easy configuration and future upgrading as network demands
evolve. The SFP modules must be MSA compliant and support the same speed
range.

The IE–ModeConverter operates as a mode converter only and not as a rate
converter.

The IE–ModeConverter does not provide support for copper (TX) SFPs.

Features

The IE–ModeConverter provides the ability to change optical transport characteristics
using easy-to-install SFP devices. This mix-and-match functionality is only limited by
the available IMC Networks’ SFP units. For more information about SFPs, visit

https://www.imcnetworks.com/Products/Small_Form_Factor_Pluggable.cfm

The key features of the IE–ModeConverter are

• Uses Miniature Media Converter Form Factor

• Supports a 7 VDC to 50 VDC terminal block option with cascading power

• Supports an external 5 VDC power option (not extended temperature)

• Allows extended temperature range from -13°C to +185°F (-25°C to +85°

C)

• Uses all standard MSA-complaint SFP devices (excluding copper SFPs)

• Provides extensive diagnostic LED functions

• Supports DIN Rail mounting

Applications

The standard application is the conversion of a short-range, multi-mode fiber
interface to a long-range single-mode fiber line. In addition, CWDM, DWDM, or
single-strand fiber can be supported with the appropriate SFP. This allows you to
purchase low cost multi-mode fiber blade cards for your network equipment and
support long-distance single-mode fiber links.
