Installation NOTES

To install the PS-CF-01 series media converter:

1. Connect host signal to PS-CF-01 media converter.

• Locate or build twisted-pair cables that are compliant with cable specifications (See page 7) and with male RJ-45 plug connectors installed at both cable ends.

NOTE: Install TRANSITION Networks balun part number: 3-4554 between RJ-45 cable and Twinax connector.

• Install balun at host Twinax connector.

•. Connect male RJ-45 plug connector at one end of twisted pair cable to balun on host Twinax connector.

• Connect male RJ-45 plug connector at other end of twisted pair cable to female RJ-45 connector on PS-CF-01 media converter.

2. Connect PS-CF-01 media converter near host to second PS-CF-01 media converter near terminal device*.

• Locate or build fiber cable that conforms to cable

specifications (See page 7) and with male fiber connectors installed at both ends.

• Connect one end of first fiber cable to PS-CF-01 media

converter TX connector.

• Connect other end of that fiber cable to second PS-CF-01

media converter RX connector (or to PowerStar™ IV fiber SIC card RX connector).

• Connect one end of second fiber cable to PS-CF-01 media

converter RX connector.

• Connect other end of that fiber cable to second PS-CF-01

media converter TX connector (or to PowerStar™ IV fiber SIC card TX connector).

*Or optionally connect directly to PowerStar™ IV fiber SIC card.
