ABOUT THE MINIMC-GIGABIT
The MiniMc-Gigabit is a Gigabit Ethernet, miniature media converter. This device converts 1000Base-SX (multi-
mode) or LX (single-mode) fiber to 1000Base-T copper, and always operates at full-duplex. Single-strand fiber
versions are also available.
The MiniMc-Gigabit offers plug-and-play operation, including the AutoCross feature that automatically selects
between a crossover workstation or straight-through repeater hub connection, depending on the connected
device.
The MiniMc-Gigabit installs in a B+B SmartWorx IE-PowerTray/18 or can be used as a standalone media
converter. As a standalone, the MiniMc-Gigabit uses a universal external switching power cube with 100 to 240
±10% VAC input and 5VDC output.
NOTE: Some options require items that are sold separately, available from B+B SmartWorx.
NOTE: Use only the supplied B+B SmartWorx power supply. Using a non-B+B SmartWorx power source will
void the warranty.
INSTALLATION
Several MiniMc-Gigabit mdoels support single-strand fiber for operation. Since single-strand fiber
products use optics that transmit and receive on two different wavelengths, single-strand fiber
products must be deployed in pairs. The two connected products must also have the same speed
and distance capabilities.
LED OPERATION
The MiniMc-Gigabit includes two LEDs, located on the RJ45 connector LED with functions are as follows:
• FX LNK
Glows green when a link is established on the fiber port.
• TX LNK/ACT
Glows amber when a link is established on the copper port; blinks amber when activity is detected on the
copper port.

STATEMENTS, PRECAUTIONS, GUIDELINES, REGULATORY
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.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) 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 units by the edges; do not touch the electronic components or gold connectors.
4. After removal, always place 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.
FIBER OPTIC CLEANING GUIDELINES
Fiber Optic transmitters and receivers are extremely susceptible to contamination by particles of
dirt or dust, which 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 that the optics have been contaminated, alternate between blasting with
clean, dry, compressed air and flushing with methanol to remove particles of dirt.
