TMC-GSFP Series
10/100/1000MBPS ETHERNET MEDIA CONVERTERS
WITH 100FX AND 1000FX SUPPORT
This manual serves the following
Model Names:
TMC-GSFPM
TMC-GSFP
TMC-GSFPPOEM
The TMC-GSFP electrical-to-optical Ethernet media converters accept a 10/100
or 1000 Mbps electrical input and converts this to a 100 or 1000 Mbps optical
output (selected by a dip switch) and the 100/1000 Mbps optical input back to the
10/100/1000 Mbps electrical output. “Auto-Negotiating” is supported on the copper
interface side. These devices use either one or two optical fibers, depending upon
the selection of sold-separately SFP optical modules.
A PoE model, the TMC-GSFPPOEM meets the IEEE802.3af/IEE802.3at standard and
provides up to 30 watts of PoE+ power. The series also consists of a small size
single channel model, TMC-GSFPM, and a standard size, single-channel model,
TMC-GSFP. The standard size unit may be directly plugged into the SBP-C14 /
SBP-C03 Rack or operated as a standalone module. The small size unit operates as
standalone modules only.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
This fiber-optic link is supplied as a Standalone/Rack module. Units should
be installed in dry locations protected from extremes of temperature and
humidity.
SBP-C14 / SBP-C03 CARD CAGE RACKS
CAUTION: Although the units are hot-swappable and may be installed
without turning power
off to the rack, Hanwha recommends that the
power supply be turned off and that the rack power supply is
disconnected from any power source. Note: Remove electrical connector
before installing in card cage rack.
1. Make sure that the card is oriented right side up, and slide it into the
card guides in the rack until the edge connector at the back of the card
seats in the corresponding slot in the rack’s connector panel. Seating
may require thumb pressure on the top and bottom of the card’s front
panel.
CAUTION: Take care not to press on any of the LEDs.
2. Tighten the two thumb screws on the card until the front panel of the
card is seated against the front of the rack.
WARNING: Unit is to be used with a Listed Class 2 power supply.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS:
A) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment
may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should
be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible
with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the
manufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be
such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the
equipment is not compromised.
