Overview

Thank you for purchasing PLANET FT-70X family Fast Ethernet
Twisted pair to Fiber-optic Converter. This converter is used to
convert one type media signal to other type equivalent that allows
two type segments connect easily, efciently and inexpensively.
This converter can be used as a standalone unit or as a slide-in
module to the 10 /19 media chassis (up to 15 units) for a TP
and Fiber combined networks at a central wiring closet. Please
contact with your sales representative for more about the 19
media chassis.

Chapter 2

Model List

Your Fast Ethernet Converter comes with one of the following
models.

ð FT-701B on board ST fiber connector

ð FT-702B/S on board SC fiber connector

ð FT-703/S on board MT-RJ fiber connector

ð FT-704/S on board VF-45 fiber connector

ð FT-706A15 on board single SC fiber connector

ð FT-706B15 on board single SC fiber connector

Models with last two numbered characters indicates the ber­port is with Single-Mode optic ber connector and the number
indicates the maximum distance in km. The rest will be Multi­Mode optic ber models.

In the following sections, the term FT-70X indicates the product
family above.

Product Outlook

Right View (FT-70X)

There are one RJ-45 Twisted-Pair jack, one ber-optic connector
and six LED indicators on this side.

The ber connector is different from model to model. Please refer
to the section 2 Model List and section 9 Technical Specication
for detail.

Left View (FT-70X)

One DC jack for DC power input.

Side View (FT-70X)

One DIP Switch for TP Device selection.

Installing the Converter

Please follow these steps to install the converter:

• Turn off the power of the device/station in a network to

which the FT-70X will be attached.

• Ensure that there is no activity in the network.

• Attach fiber cable from the FT-70X to the fiber network.

TX, RX must be paired at both ends for some two con-

nectors models.

• Attach a Cat. 5 UTP cable from the 100Base-TX network

to the RJ-45 port on the FT-70X.

• Connect the 5VDC power adapter to the FT-70X and

verify that the Power LED lights up.

• Turn on the power of the device/station, the TX Link and

FX Link LEDs should light when all cables are attached.

 NOTE:

• RJ-45/STP, UTP Cat 5, straight-through

cable is accepted.

• Cabling from FT-70X TP port to a TP de-

vice is as below:

• To Workstation: DIP switch on DTE

• To Hub/Switch: DIP switch on MPR

• Please refer to section 8 for more about

the wiring distance of your TP, Optic-fiber

networks.

• Please note FT-706A15/706B15 is de-

signed to work together. It means you

must connect FT-706A15 to FT-706B15

from them to work normally. If both ends

are FT-706A15 or FT-706B15, they can’t

work normally and may damage the fiber

connectors.

Duplex Mode Setting

The twisted pair port of FT-70X support duplex mode selection
by Auto-Negotiation (A-N). The following is the duplex mode
parameters:

Fast Ethernet Device FT-70X Duplex Mode support

Fast Ethernet Hub Half-Duplex

Fast Ethernet Switch

(without A-N)

Half-Duplex

Fast Ethernet Devices *

Support Auto-Negotiation

Full-Duplex / Half-Duplex

 NOTE:

Normally, an A-N switch will be detected and

set to Full-duplex where a dual-speed hub

will be detected and set to Half-Duplex.

only turn on the power and

the ACT do not blink at all,

please consult your local

dealer

 NOTE:

Fiber-optic partner should be set to the correct
mode according to this FDX indicator for optimal
network performance.

 NOTE:

If the ber port works on half duplex, please
note that Fast Ethernet/100Base-TX network
allows 512 bit-time delay between any two
nodes/stations in a collision domain (when work
in half duplex). The overall bit time of TP/Fiber
wires and devices must below 512 bit-time in
one network segment. To extend the distance,
however, you may use switch to break up a
collision domain and extend the distance.
