Overview
Introduction
The 10/100/1000TX to MINI-GBIC is designed to convert Gigabit
Ethernet networks to Gigabit fiber networks by transparently converting
Ethernet signals to optic signals. The advantages of fiber optics are
wide bandwidth, EMI immunity and long-distance transmission
capability. Therefore, the industrial switch converter is an ideal solution
for “fiber to building” applications at central offices or local sites. The
industrial switch converter supports MDI/MDIX auto detection, so you
don’t need to use crossover wires. Furthermore, the industrial switch
converter can work normally from -10 ~ 60o C and accepts a wide
voltage range from +12 ~ 48 VDC.Besides, it also provides 3,000 VDC
surge (EFT) protection against over-voltage, so it is suitable for harsh
operating environments.
Gigabit Fiber Converter
The 10/100/1000TX to MINI-GBIC Industrial Switch Converter has
one SFP fiber slot which provides the flexibility when planning and
implementing a network. The slot can accept any 1000M SFP-type fiber
module and these modules are designed for transmitting over distances
of either 500m (multi-mode), 10km, 30km, 50km, 70km or 110km
(single-mode). This means you can easily change the transmission
mode and distance of the switch by simply pulling out the SFP module
and plugging in a different module. The SFP module is hot-swappable
and plug-and-play!
Dual Power Input
To reduce the risk of power failure, the 10/100/1000TX to MINI-GBIC
Industrial Switch Converter provides +12 ~ 48 VDC dual power inputs.
If there is power failure, 10/100/1000TX to MINI-GBIC Industrial
Switch Converter will switch automatically to the secondary power
input.

Flexible Mounting
10/100/1000TX to MINI-GBIC Industrial Switch Converter is compact
and can be mounted on a DIN-rail or a panel, so it is suitable for any
space-constrained environment.
Advanced Protection
The power line of 10/100/1000TX to MINI-GBIC Industrial Switch
Converter supports up to 3,000 VDC EFT protection, which secure
equipment against unregulated voltage and make systems safer and
more reliable. Meanwhile, 6,000 VDC ESD protections for Ethernet ports
make the industrial switch converter more suitable for harsh
environments.
Wide Operating Temperature
The operating temperature of the 10/100/1000TX to MINI-GBIC
Industrial Switch Converter is between -40 ~ 75 oC (wide operating
temperature model) or -10 ~ 60 oC (standard model). With such a wide
range, you can use the industrial switch converter in some of the
harshest industrial environments that exist.
Easy Troubleshooting
LED indicators make troubleshooting quick and easy. The 10/100/1000
Base-TX port has 2 LEDs that display the link status, whether the port is
working at 1000M transmission speed or not. Also the three power
indicators P1, P2 and Fault help you diagnose immediately.

Hardware Description
In this paragraph, we will introduce the Industrial switch converter’s
hardware spec, port, cabling information, and wiring installation.
Front Panel
The Front Panel of the 10/100/1000TX to MINI-GBIC Industrial Switch
Converter are shown as below.
Front Panel of the Industrial Switch Converter

Top View
The top panel of the Industrial Switch Converter is equipped one
terminal block connector of two DC power inputs.
Top panel of the Industrial Switch Converter
Wiring the Power Inputs
Please follow the steps below to insert the power wire.
1. Insert the positive and negative wires into the V+ and V- contacts on the
terminal block connector.

7
2. To tighten the wire-clamp screws for preventing the DC wires to loose.
Wiring the Fault Alarm Contact
The fault alarm contact is in the middle of terminal block connector as the
picture shows below. Inserting the wires, it will detect the fault status
which the power is failure or port link failure (for managed model) and form
an open circuit.
Note
The wire gauge for the terminal block should be in the range
between 12~ 24 AWG.
If only using one power source, jumper Pin 1 to Pin 5 and
Pin 2 to Pin 6 to eliminate power fault alarm.
Insert the wires into the fault alarm contact (No. 3 & 4)

LED Indicators
There are few LEDs display the power status and network status
located on the front panel of the Industrial switch converter, each of
them has its own specific meaning as below table.

LED Color Description
P1 Green On Power input 1 is active
Off Power input 1 is inactive
P2 Green On Power input 2 is active
Off Power input 2 is inactive
Fault Red On Power input 1 or 2 has failed
Off Power input 1 and 2 are both functional,
or no power input
LNK/ACT

Off Not connected to network or not working
at speed of 1000M
LNK/ACT
(RJ-45) Green On Connected to network

DIP-Switch
The DIP-Switch is used to configure operation mode for LLF (Link Lost
Forwarding) and power alarm. The default value of DIP-switch is OFF.
Table 2.2: Industrial Switch Converter DIP-Switch Definition
S/W No Status Description
1 ON Enable Power Alarm
OFF Disable Power Alarm
2 ON Enables LLF
OFF Disables LLF
Link Lost Forwarding (DIP-Switch 2): When LLF is enabled, it allows
UTP link failures to be reported to the fiber side and also allows Fiber
link failures to be reported to the UTP side. Therefore, a link loss
forwarding feature is provided in both UTP and Fiber side.
Note When
SW 2 is on, once the fiber or UTP/STP cable is
disconnected, the LNK/ACT LED off.
When the cable is
reconnected, the LNK/ACT LED blinks for 2 ~ 6 seconds which
means the connection is recovering from failure.
Note Please don’t change the DIP-switch setting when UTP/STP or
fiber port is transmitting or receiving data. It may cause some data
error. Besides, if you change the DIP-switch setting, please power
off the converter and power on again to make the setting effective.

10
Ports
RJ-45 ports (Auto MDI/MDIX): The RJ-45 ports are auto-sensing for
10Base-T, 100Base-TX or 1000Base-T devices connections. Auto
MDI/MDIX means that you can connect to another switch or workstation
without changing straight through or crossover cabling. See figures as
below for straight through and crossover cable schematic.

Cabling
Twisted-pair segment can use unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or
shielded twisted pair (STP) cabling. The cable between the link partner
(switch, hub, workstation, etc.) and the converter must be less than 100
meters (328 ft.) long and comply with the IEEE 802.3ab 1000Base-T
standard for Category 5e or above.
Fiber segment using single-mode connector type must use 9/125μm
single-mode fiber cable. You can connect two devices in the distance of
10 km. Fiber segment using multi-mode connector type must use
50/125 or 62.5/125μm multi-mode fiber cable. You can connect two
devices up to 550m distances.
