Instructions
Media converters connect two Ethernet networks over a longer distance using fiber optic cable.
Features
• One 10/100 RJ45 port supporting a maximum distance of 100 m (300 ft.)
• One 100Base-FX fiber SC multi-mode port supporting a maximum distance of 2 km (1.24 mi.)
• IP40 slim-type metal housing to withstand harsh industrial conditions
• Option for DIN-rail installation
• Two redundant DC inputs (12 - 56 V) with I/O terminal block

Placement
Desktop Installation
Prior to use, place/position the device:
• on a level surface that can support the device with at least 25 mm (approx. 1") of clearance for ventilation;
• away from sources of electrical noise: radios, transmitters, broadband amplifiers;
• within 100 m (approx. 328') of network devices it's to be connected to.
DIN-Rail Installation
1 Angle spring of mounting clip over top lip of DIN rail.
2 Push device down till clip clicks onto rail.
3 Ensure installation is stable.
Connections
Twisted Pair – RJ45
Connect the UTP port of the media converter to an RJ45 port on the network (e.g.,
to an Ethernet switch). Cat5e or better cabling is recommended.
Fiber Optic
As shown, two fiber optic cables need to be connected between two ideally identical media converters. Make a
connection from Media Converter 1 TX to Media Converter 2 RX, and from Media Converter 1 RX to Media
Converter 2 TX. Maximum length and fiber cable specification depend on the model. (See Models.)
