DESCRIPTION:

The miniature miConverter™ 10/100 is a rate-switching
UTP copper to 100BASE-FX fiber media converter that
provides cost-effective fiber extension and connectivity.
The

miConverter 10/100’s UTP copper port can

automatically detect the speed, duplex-mode and
cross-over mode of the connected device.

The 100BASE-FX fiber port operates in Full-Duplex mode
and supports single-mode or multimode fiber with ST or
SC fiber connectors. Single-fiber models feature
Bi-Directional fiber and support distances of up to 40km.
The various fiber model options are described in the table
on the first page.

WARNING!

Before inserting the Power Adapter, verify
that the power on the unit is appropriate

for your AC line voltage source.

POWER ADAPTER NOTICE:

This product should only be used with Omnitron Supplied
Power Unit model numbers 9113-PS, 91 15-PS, 9130-2,
9116-PS-3, 91 16-PS-4, 91 16-PS-5 or 9116-PS-8.

In order to guarantee performance when powering the

miConverter 10/100 with the USB Power Adapter cable

(P/N 9130-2), the USB adapter cable must be connected to
a Full-Powered USB Type-A port (5V, 500mA).

Note: Not all USB Type-A ports are Full-Powered
USB ports. The Full-Powered USB Type-A ports are
usually the USB ports found on computer cases or
on self-powered (powered by an AC adapter) USB
hubs.

MOUNTING AND CABLE ATTACHMENT:

The miConverter 10/100 can be quick-mounted using
the included Velcro

®

strips, or permanentaly mounted

using the optional wall-mounting kit (P/N 4381).
Attach the UTP port

of the miConverter 10/100 to a

10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX Ethernet device, via a
category 5 cable.

Attach the fiber port of the

miConverter 10/100 to a

100BASE-FX Fast Ethernet device, via the fiber cable
of the appropriate mode and type.

When connecting the dual-fiber models, the

miConverter

transmiter (Tx) must attach to the receiver side of its
link partner; the receiver (Rx) must attach to the
transmiter.

When using single-fiber (SF) media converter models,
the Tx wavelength on one end has to match the Rx
wavelength on the other. Based on this guideline, the
SF media converter models must be used in pairs,
such as the 1110-1-x matched with the 1111-1-x.
