Milan Technology C-F-SM-MM-05 User Manual

The TRANSITION Networks slide-in-module 10Mb/s Ethernet media converters, C/F­SM-MM-05, which is designed to be installed in the TRANSITION Networks Media
Conversion Center,

E-MCC-1600, connects 1300nM singlemode fiber-optic cable to

850nM multimode fiber-optic cable.

The F-SM-MM-05 media converter provides an ST fiber type RX (receive) and TX
(transmit) connector to 1300nM singlemode fiber-optic cable and an ST fiber type RX
and TX connector to 850nM multimode fiber-optic cable. Fiber’s low signal loss and
high resistance to radio frequency noise allow extended distances between devices
(up to 2 kilometers for multimode, up to 20 kilometers for singlemode).

The media converter functions in half-duplex mode or, when connected to devices
capable of full-duplex connectivity, in full-duplex mode.

Troubleshooting

If the singlemode to multimode fiber-optic media converter fails, ask the following:

SINGLEMODE

Fiber Optic Cable Recommended: 9/125 µm singlemode fiber
Fiber Optic Transmitter Power: Average: -16 dBm
Fiber Optic Receiver Sensitivity: Average: -33 dBm
Wavelength: 1300nM
Bit error rate: ≤10

-9

Maximum Cable Distance: 5-20 kilometers

MULTIMODE

Fiber Optic Cable Recommended: 62.5 / 125 µm multimode fiber

Optional: 100 / 140 µm multimode fiber

85 / 125 µm multimode fiber

50 / 125 µm multimode fiber
Fiber Optic Transmitter Power: Average: -15 dBm
Fiber Optic Receiver Sensitivity: Average : -33 dBm
Wavelength: 850nM
Bit error rate: ≤10

-10

Maximum Cable Distance: 2 kilometers (6,600 feet)

NOTE: This product is NOT a repeater. Therefore, maximum
distances depend on specific characteristics of the installation.
The full distances of BOTH singlemode and multimode fiber
shown MAY NOT be supported in the same installation.

Installing Slide-In-Module(s)

CAUTION: Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge precautions when
installing Media Converter Slide-in-Module(s) in the 16-Slot Media Conversion Center. Failure
to observe this caution could result in damage to, and subsequent failure of, the Media
Converter Slide-in-Module(s).

NOTE: Media Converter Slide-in-Modules can be installed in any installation slot, in any order.
To install the Media Converter Slide-in-Module in the E-MCC-1600 chassis:

1. Remove Media Converter Slide-in-Module protective plate from selected installation slot by
removing two screws that secure plate to front of E-MCC-1600. Retain one installation
screw.

2. Carefully slide Media Converter Slide-in-Module into installation slot, aligning Media
Converter Slide-in-Module with installation guides.

NOTE: Ensure that the Media Converter Slide-in-Module is firmly seated against the
backplane.

3. Secure Slide-in-Module by installing retained installation screw.

FIBER OPTIC CABLE CONNECTIONS

• Be certain that the correct mode and wavelength fiber cable is used
BOTH for single-mode and for multimode fiber cable installations.

• Verify that TX and RX cables on media converter are connected to RX
and TX ports, respectively, on the other device.
