FCC Warning
This device has been tested and found to
comply with limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 2 and 15 of FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated
in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates and radiates radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the user’s manual, it
may cause interference in which case users
will be required to correct interference at their
own expenses.
CE Warning
This is a Class B product. In a domestic
environment, this product may cause radio
interference in which case the user may be
required to take adequate measures.
Introduction
This Media Converter is designed to bridge a
1000BaseT signal to a 1000BaseSX signal.
It’s used to extend the distance connection
between two Gigabit Ethernet twisted-pair
devices via the fiber cable transparently with
no performance degradation.
This Media Converter is based on the
switching hub design. It can support
Auto-Negotiation and Flow Control function on
the twisted-pair port.

Installation
DC Input & External Power Adapter
The External Power Adapter specification:
AC Input range from 90VAC to 260VAC
AC frequency range from 47Hz to 63Hz, TUV,
CE, UL Safety
Power Adapter DC Output is +5VDC 2A
The device DC input +5VDC.
The TP Port
This Media Converter’s TP port support
Auto-MDIX, Auto-Negotiation and Flow Control
functions. Please make sure it can’t work in the
10BaseT or 100BaseTX environment and the
cable length is up to 100 meters for Cat5, Cat5e
or Cat6 shielded/unshielded twisted-pair cable.
The SX Fiber Port
The converter provided SX fiber connector for
multi-mode or single-mode fiber cables.
Connections
Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF)
Single-Mode Fiber (SMF)

DIP Switch Setting
V. Link Fault Pass-through (LFP)Function
When LFP function is enabled, the device of
either TP port or fiber port is loose or link, link
status on TP port will inform the fiber port of the
same device and vice versa. If the TP port is
unplugged, the converter stops transmitting
over the fiber port, causing the remote fiber
node link to fail. The LED will show link failure
on both the TP and fiber ports. If the fiber link
fails, the converter causes the remote TP node
link to fail. The LED also shows the link failure
on both the TP and fiber ports. The figures
below show normal status when the link
succeeds and the error status when TP cable A
/ D or fiber cable B/C fails to connect.
Note:
Warning :
When the setting of the DIP switch is changed, the
power has to be turned off and the new setting will be
effective after turned on again.
