Media Converter • User Manual English
Thank you for purchasing the INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS™ Fast Ethernet Media
Converter, Model 506502, 506519 or 506526; or Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter,
Model 506533.
Media converters connect two
Ethernet networks over a longer
distance using ber optic cable.

Connect the UTP port of the media converter to an RJ45 port on the network; e.g., to
an Ethernet switch. Cat5e or better cabling is recommended. Models 506502, 506519
and 506526 can be connected to 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps ports. The integrated autonegotiation feature ensures that the link is established at the best possible speed. The
Gigabit Media Converter (model 506533) can only be connected to a 1000 Mbps
Gigabit Ethernet port, however.
Fiber Optic
As shown above, two ber optic cables need to be connected between two ideally
identical media converters. Make a connection from Media Converter 1 TX to Media
Converter 2 RX, and from Media Converter 1 RX to Media Converter 2 TX. Maximum
length and ber cable specication depend on the model. (See Specications.)
power
Plug the power adapter into the 5 V DC input jack on the media converter, then connect it to a regular power outlet (90 – 265 V, 50/60 Hz). Only use the included power
adapter or one with matching specications (output of 5 V DC, at least 1 A).
LeDs (Fa s t Et h E r n E t Mo d E l s : 506502, 506519, 506526)
PWR — The power adapter is
connected when lit.
100M — 100 Mbps link on the
twisted pair connection when lit;
10 Mbps link or no link if unlit.
Link/Act (TP = RJ45; FP = Fiber) —
Active link when lit; data trac when ashing; no active network link when unlit.
FDX/COL (for TP/RJ45) — Full duplex connection when lit; data collisions when ashing;
half duplex when unlit.
SD (for FP/Fiber) — Fiber optic signal is detected when lit; no signal when unlit.
