Introduction

The PLANET FT-807 is a 10/100Base-TX shielded twisted pair
(STP) to Fast Ethernet 100Base-FX fiber converter. It supports
full-duplex operations at its fiber-optic interface in the form factor
of SMI (Small Multimedia Interface) interface. The converter
auto-adapts to the highest level of performance supported by the
device connected to the STP port.

1.1 Product Description

The SMI (small multimedia interface) is one kind of POF (plastic
optic fiber) interface that can suitable for low-cost and high-speed
data transmission. The SMI patch cord meets the IEEE 1394b
specification that can transmit data at S200 (250Mbps) speed for
50 meters, the distance range of TP port is 100 meters. It will
make the new generation multimedia life more possible and easy
installation.

1.2 Packet Contents

Your FT-807 carton should contain following items:

1.6 Power information

The power jack of FT-807 is with 2.5mm in the central post
and required +5VDC power input. Should you have the issue to
make the power connection, please contact with your local sales
representative.

Chapter 2 Installation

Please follow these steps to install the converter:

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

which the FT-807 will be attached.

 Ensure that there is no activity in the network.

 Attach POF fiber cable with SMI type connector from the

3

FT-807 to the fiber network also using POF.

 Attach a Cat. 5 UTP cable from the 10/100Base-TX net-

work to the RJ-45 port on the FT-807.

 Connect the 5VDC power adapter to the FT-807 and

verify that the Power LED lights up.

 Turn on the power of the device/station, the TP and POF

LED should light when all cables are attached.

1. RJ-45/STP, UTP Cat 5, straight/cross-

over cable is accepted.

2. Please note the FT-807 supports LFP

function, both ends should well con

nected. Otherwise, both TP and fiber

NOTE:

Warning:

port will remains off if any of the port is

not connected.

3. Consult for your network administrator

for more information about POF net

work equipments. Usually, another FT-

807 is required for pair installation and

transmission.

As an optical equipment, to reduce the risk
of injury to the eyes, do not look directly into
the laser light on the POF interface and do not
point the laser light into anyone’s eyes in short
distance.

cable system

A.1 10/100Mbps, 10/100Base-TX

When connecting your 10/100Mbps Ethernet Switch to another
switch, a bridge or a hub, a straight or crossover cable is
necessary. Each port of the Switch supports auto-MDI/MDI-X
detection. That means you can directly connect the Switch to any
Ethernet devices without making a crossover cable. The following
table and diagram show the standard RJ-45 receptacle/ connector
and their pin assignments:

There are 8 wires on a standard UTP/STP cable and each wire is
color-coded. The following shows the pin allocation and color of
straight cable and crossover cable connection:

Please make sure your connected cables are with same pin
assignment and color as above picture before deploying the cables
into your network.

A.2 100Mbps, 100Base-FX, SMI type connector

FT-807 is using POF SMI type connector that is mostly being
used for IEEE1394 transmission. The followings show the basic
information.

The POF Cable should be a dual wire cable with

0.98mm optic core with cladding diameter 1mm.
Also with jacket in diameter: 2.2 mm.

The SMI connector will as like the figure
left. You can check with your network
device dealer or administrator for the
availability of the cable and connector.
