Overview
Introduction
The CSM-200 series is an Ethernet to optical fiber media converter and is part
of the NRack System. It provides Ethernet media conversion from 10/100
BaseT(X) to 100 BaseFX (S C or ST connectors), and can be installed in every
chassis of the NRack System.
The CSM-200 Series includes the following models:
• CSM-200-1213: 10/100BaseT(X) to 100BaseFX slide-in module media
converter, multi-mode ST connector.
• CSM-200-1214: 10/100BaseT(X) to 100BaseFX slide-in module media
converter, multi-mode SC connector.
• CSM-200-1218: 10/100BaseT(X) to 100BaseFX slide-in module media
converter, single-mode SC connector.
Installation
The CSM-200 media converter slide-in module can be hot-swapped, which
means the chassis doesn’t need to be powered off or removed during
installation. Align the slide-in module with the chassis installation slot so that
the panel fastener screw is at the top of the module, and carefully slide the
slide-in module into the slot while aligning the module’s circuit board with the
installation guide.
Ensure that the slide-in module is firmly seated inside the chassis. Push in and
rotate the attached panel fastener screw clockwise to secure the module to the
chassis.
Why Convert Ethernet to Fiber?
Fiber communication not only extends the communication distance, but also
provides many advantageous features.
• IMMUNITY FROM ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE:
Fiber is not affected by electromagnetic interference or radio frequency
interference. It provides a clean communication path and is immune to
cross-talk.
• INSULATION:
Optical fiber is an insulator; the glass fiber eliminates the need for using
electric currents as the communication medium.
• SECURITY:
Fiber cannot be tapped by conventional electric means and is very difficult
to tap into optically. Furthermore, radio and satellite communication
signals can be captured easily for decoding.
• RELIABILITY & MAINTENANCE:
Fiber is immune to adverse temperature and moisture conditions, does not
corrode or lose its signal, and is not affected by short circuits, power
surges, or static electricity.
