FiberOptic Converters
Quick Installation Guide

This quick installation guide provides instructions for installing a FiberOptic
Converter.

1-1 Introducing the FiberOptic Converter

The FiberOptic Converters are used to convert Fast Ethernet
100Base-TX to fiber optic 100Base-FX network connection. The
Converters can be used as a stand-alone unit or as a slide-in module
to the 19" converter rack (up to 10 units) for use at a central wiring
closet. The following models are available:

• FiberOptic Converter-ST (multi-mode)

• FiberOptic Converter-SC (multi-mode)

Feature/Specifications

• Standards: IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet 100Base-TX /FX

• Connectors:
UTP port: RJ-45
Fiber optic port: ST or SC, 1300nm

• Cable:
Fiber optic: 50/125, 62.5/125 or 100/140 µm (multi-mode)
UTP: Category 5 UTP

• Data Transfer Rate:
Half-duplex: up to 100Mbps; Full-duplex: up to 200Mbps

• Cable Connection Parameters: 100Base-TX/FX (multi-mode)
network allows 512-bit time delay between any two node
stations in a collision domain. The overall bit-time of TP/Fiber
wires and devices must be within 512 bit in a segment. You
may use a switch to break up collision domain and extend the
cabling distance.

• Power Requirement: 1.0A @ +5V

• Operating Temperature: 32° to 122° (0° to 50°C)

• Storage Temperature: -40° to 158°F (-40° to 70°C)

• Relative Humidity: 5% to 90%, non-condensing

• Dimensions: 26.2mm (H) x 70.3mm (W) x 94mm (D)

FX ACT Green Blinks when any FX traffic is present
FX LNK Green Lit when Fiber connection is good
TX ACT Green Blinks when any TP traffic is present
TX LNK Green Lit when TP connection is good
FDX Green Lit when full-duplex mode is active
PWR Green Lit when +5V power is coming up

• DC Jack and AC/DC Power Adapter:

AC Input: 100–240VAC 50/60Hz

DC Output: 1A @ +5VDC

UTP Cable Length (Max.):

Full- or Half-duplex Node to Node 100 m

Fiber Optic Cable Lengths (Max.):

Half-duplex Node to Node: 412 m
(multi-mode) Node to Switch: 412 m

Full-duplex Node to Node: 2000 m
(multi-mode) Node to Switch: 2000 m

Connecting to 10/100Mbps NWay Device:

TP Port Non-NWay, supports 100Mbps only. Force the

partner to 100Mbps speed at Fdx or Hdx.

Fiber Port Non-NWay, supports 100Mbps only. Force the

partner to 100Mbps speed at Fdx or Hdx.

Fdx/Hdx Selectable to match partner's operation mode.

Default: Hdx
