Installation
Before you begin the installation, check the AC voltage of your
area. The AC power adapter which is used to provide the DC
power for the unit, and should have the AC voltage matching
the commercial power voltage in your area.
Applying Power
1. Connect the DC plug to the DC input jack located on the back of
the media converter before connecting to the AC power outlet.
Making FX Port Connection
FX port operates at 100Mbps and full duplex (factory default).
A variety of fiber options is listed in next section. Since the
WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) single fiber media
converters use different wavelengths for transmission and
receiving respectively, the link partner device located on the
remote end of the single fiber should match the wavelength
used on the single fiber converter. Using 50/125 or 62.5/125
micron multi-mode fiber cable to connect to the fiber port of
multi-mode media converter. Using 9/125 micron single-mode
fiber cable to connect to the single-mode media converter.
Note: All optical fiber media converters must be used in pair.
Single fiber optic media converter, the TX model must be paired
with the RX model and vice versa.

Cautions:
1. This product is suitable for indoor application.
2. Put on the dust cover of fiber interface when not used.
3. It is forbidden to stare at the TX fiber-transfer end with naked eyes.
Troubleshooting:
1. Fail to transmit data: Make sure the UTP distance does not exceed
100m, and the fiber distance does not exceed the maximum distance.
Verify that both nodes are running at the same speed.
2.
UTP or Fiber Link LED is not lit: Check the power on the
network device connected to the converter, make sure it is
turned ON. Check the cables, make sure the UTP cable
complies with EIA/TIA 568 specification and fiber optic
cables comply with industry standards.
