Caution
Circuit devices are sensitive to stat i c electricity, which can damage their
delicate electronics. Dry weather conditions or walking across a carpeted floor may
cause you to acquire a static electri cal charge.
To protect your devi ce, always:
• Touch the metal chassis of your computer to ground the static electrical charge
before you pick up the circuit device.
• Pick up the device by holding it on the left and right edges only.

1. Overview
10/100/1000Base-T to 1000Based-SX/LX (SC/LC) IEEE802.3z/ab
GbE media converter, which allows two types of network segments to
be connected easily and inexpensively. Complied with IEEE802.3at
(Max. PoE output power consumption up to 30W) Power Over
Ethernet standard, this AC powered PoE media converter is a Power
Sourcing Equipment (PSE) which combines data received over a TP
link with –48VDC power, providing power to IEEE802.3af and
IEEE802.3at over the existing CAT5 UTP cable. The converter
includes a PD signature sensing and power monitoring features.
Other features include over-current protection, under-current
detection and fault protection input. We are using “PSE+” to represent
the high power PoE output max. 30W.
The LFP (Link Fault Pass-through) allows the media converter to
monitor both the fiber and copper RX ports for loss of signal. In case
of a loss of RX signal on one media port, the converter will
automatically disable the TX signal to the other media port, thus
passing through the link fault. FEF (Far End Fault) enables the
converter to stop sending link pulse to the link partner once a loss of
the fiber RX signal is encountered. Then the link partner will
synchronously stop sending data. FEF prevents loss of valuable data
transmitted over invalid link.
2. Checklist
Before you start installing the Converter, verify that the package
contains the following:
The PoE PSE+ TP-Fiber Converter
AC Power Cord
This User's Manual
Please notify your sales representative immediately if any of the
aforementioned items is missing or damaged.
3. Installing the Converter
PSE+ TP-Fiber Converter with Powered Device (PD)
⇒ Connect the PSE+ media converter to an AC power source
⇒ Install the TP media cable to the IEEE 802.3af or IEEE802.3at
PD device
(See Fig. 2)
Note: It can work as a pure converter that connects to the
1000Base-SX/LX (SC/LC)

The PoE PSE+ converter may auto-detect PD and provide power via
one of two valid four-wire connections. In each four-wire connection,
the two conductors associated with a pair each carry the same
nominal current in both magnitude and polarity. Refer to following
figure in conjunction with PSE pinout alternative table, illustrates the
valid alternatives.

4. Link Fault Pass Through
The Converter model of LFP (link fault pass through) in TX/FX
converter application is controlled by the software and instantly take
effect.
Link status on one port is propagated to the other port to notice
the remote nodes. If TP port is unplugged, this converter stops
transmission on fiber port. This causes the remote fiber node l ink to
fail. LED shows the link failure on both TP and fiber ports. If fiber link
fails, this converter restarts auto-negotiation on TP port but always
stays in the link failure state. This causes the remote TP node link to
fail. LED also shows the link failure on both TP and fiber ports. Refer
to Fig. 9 shown below for the normal status when the link succeeds.
Also refer to Fig. 10 and Fig. 11 for the erroneous status when TP
Cable A, Fiber Cable B or Fiber Cable C fails to connect.
Note: Link fault pass through (LFP) function only takes effect as S1-
Bit2 (see Fig. 15) is enabled. Disabled S1-Bit2 will turn this
media converter into a general one.
