About the McBasic TP/BNC

With the McBasic TP/BNC, 50 coax cable installations become more

accessible.

The McBasic TP/BNC is a 10 Mbps Ethernet Twisted Pair to 50

Ω Coax

cable (e.g. RG-59) Media Converter, that allows the continued use of the
already-installed 50

Ω analog cable, eliminating the need to re-cable. As a

low-cost, IEEE 802.3 single-conversion, 1U high, standalone media convert­er, the McBasic TP/BNC converts 10Base-T twisted pair to 10Base-2 thin
coax and includes one RJ-45 connector and one RG-59 BNC connector.
Each McBasic TP/BNC includes diagnostic LEDs and an internal 100-240
VAC power supply.

The LEDs

Each McBasic TP/BNC features diagnostic LEDs. The following illustration
shows the location of the LEDs, and other features, on the McBasic TP/BNC.
The LED functions for the McBasic TP/BNC are as follows:

TP LNK/ACT

BNC ACT

BNC COL

POWER

Glows yellow when a twisted pair link is established and
flickers when data is being received.
Flickers green in normal operation indicating activity on the
BNC port.
Flickers red in normal operation indicating collisions are
being detected on the BNC segment.
Flickers yellow when the unit is receiving power.
