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, efciently 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.

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.

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.
• 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
NOTE:
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:

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.

Power information
The power jack of FT-70X is with 2.5mm in the central post and
required +5VDC / 2A power input. It will conform to the bundled
AC-DC adapter and PLANET s Media Chassis. Should you have the
problem to make the power connection, please contact your local
sales representative.
Please keep the AC-DC adapter as spare parts when your FT-70X
