FCC RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENT
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A
computing device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to
cause
harmful interference in which the user will be required to correct the interference at his
own expense.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
The use of non-shielded I/O cables may not guarantee compliance with FCC RFI
limits. This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise
emission from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulation of
the Canadian Department of
Communications.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les
limites applicables aux appareils numériques de classe A prescrites dans le
Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique publié par le ministère des Communications
du Canada.

ABOUT THE GIGA-MINIMC
The Giga-MiniMc is a 10/100/1000 auto-negotiating, switching miniature media
converter. The fiber port available in one pairof SC fiber connectorsand/oran SFP
port which can support any fiber type; dual strand available in LC connectors, and
single strand fiber SFPs available in SC connectors. The Giga-MiniMc always operates
at 1000 Mbps FDX; the copper port auto-negotiates the connected device’s speed
and duplex mode: 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps, and HDX or FDX (including
Flow Control).
The Giga-MiniMc TX/SFP requires a Gigabit SFP, with or without DDMI (sold
separately from B+B SmartWorx). SFPs must be MSA-compliant and meet the Class 1
Laser Safety Standard. The SFP model also offers “Link Fault Pass Through” (LFPT).
a diagnostic feature for troubleshooting. It is a permanently enabled feature.
The Giga-MiniMc offers plug-and-play operation, including the auto-cross feature which
automatically selects between a crossover work-station or pass-through
connection,n
depending on the connected device.
NOTE : Unless notedotherwise, all references tothe Giga-MiniMc in this manual are also applicable tothe
Giga-MiniMcTX/SFP.
INSTALLING THE GIGA-MINIMC
The Giga-MiniMc installs in a B+B SmartWorx PowerTray/18 or can be used as a
standalone media converter. As a standalone, the Giga-MiniMc/SFP uses a universal
external switching power cube with 100 – 240 ±10% VAC input and 5 VDC output.
NOTE: Some options require items that are sold separately, available from B+B SmartWorx.
POWERING THE GIGA-MINIMC
The Giga-MiniMc supports multiple powering options:
• A country-specific, high-reliability AC power adapter (included)
• IE-PowerTray/18 for Rack Mounting
NOTE: Some options require items that are sold separately, available from B+B SmartWorx.

LED functions are as follows (above illustrations are representative):
FX LNK/ACT
Glows GREEN when a link is established on the fiber port;
blinks GREEN when activity is detected on the fiber port.
TX LNK/ACT
Glows AMBER when a link is established on the copper port;
blinks GREEN when activity is detected on the copper port.

FIBER OPTIC CLEANING GUIDELINES
Fiber Optic transmitters and receivers are extremely susceptible to contamination by
particles of dirt or dust that can obstruct the optic path and cause performance
degradation. Good system performance requires clean optics and connector ferrules.
1.
Use fiber patch cords (or connectors if you terminate your own fiber) only from a
reputable supplier; low-quality components can cause many hard-to-diagnose
problems in an installation.
2.
Dust caps are installed at the factory to ensure factory-clean optical devices. These
protective caps should not be removed until the moment of connecting
the fiber
cable to the device. Should it be necessary to disconnect the fiber
device, reinstall
the protective dust caps.
3.
Store spare caps in a dust-free environment such as a sealed plastic bag or box so
that when reinstalled they do not introduce any contamination to the optics.
4.
If you suspect the optics have been contaminated, alternate between blasting with
clean, dry, compressed air and flushing with methanol to remove particles of dirt.
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE PRECAUTIONS
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause damage to any product, add-in modules or
stand-alone units, containing electronic components. Always observe the following
precautions when installing or handling these kinds of products.
1.
Do not remove unit from its protective packaging until ready to install.
2.
Wear an ESD wrist grounding strap before handling any module or component. If
the wrist strap is not available, maintain grounded contact with the system unit
throughout any procedure requiring ESD protection.
3.
Hold the units by the edges; do not touch the electronic components or gold
connectors.
4. After removal, always place the boards on a grounded, static-free surface, ESD
pad or in a proper ESD bag. Do not slide the modules or stand-alone units over
any surface.
WARNING!
Integrated circuits and fiber optic components are
extremely
susceptible to electrostatic discharge damage. Do not handle
these
components directly unless you are a qualified service technician
and
use tools and techniques that conform to accepted industry practices.
