INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The FBR-1FE1FX-SFP-MINI operates as one half of a transceiver pair for the transmission of bi-
directional Ethernet data, over one or two multimode or single-mode fiber/s. The unit uses industry
standard Small Form-Factor, Pluggable (SFP) modules for connecting to the fiber media. A proper
Aventura Technologies approved SFP module is selected by the customer to accommodate the type and
number of fibers, as well as the transmission distance.
The FBR-1FE1FX-SFP-MINI converts a single 10/100base-T/TX Ethernet input to an optical fiber
output. The FBR-1FE1FX-SFP-MINI also converts an optical fiber input, returning over the same or
different fiber, depending on SFP module selection, into a single 10/100base-T/TX Ethernet output.
The FBR-1FE1FX-SFP-MINI is configured to auto-negotiate the data rate on the UTP Ethernet port to
either 10 or 100 Mbps and operating mode to either full or half-duplex. Additionally, the unit is
configured to perform the MDI/MDIX sensing and switching automatically. This feature allows for the
use of standard, straight through patch cords, without regard to the configuration (MDI or MDIX) of the
device the FBR-1FE1FX-SFP-MINI unit is connected to.
The data rate on the optical port of the FBR-1FE1FX-SFP is always 100Mbps, full-duplex.
This unit is contained in a compact and rugged steel housing with internal dc voltage regulation. The
detachable terminal block and LED indicators provide for easy installation and monitoring of Ethernet,
optical link, and dc power status.
The unit operates as a surface mounted, modular, stand-alone device.
INSTALLATION
THE INSTALLATION OF THIS UNIT SHOULD BE MADE BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE
PERSON(S) AND MUST CONFORM TO ALL LOCAL CODES.
The physical outline and front/rear panel configuration of the unit is detailed in Figure 2.
Mount the unit to a secure surface using #8 (3mm) hardware in two places. See Figure 3 for a full size
mounting template. Be sure to allow sufficient room for the required minimum bend radius of the fiber
cable used.
POWER SOURCE
The unit requires a +12VDC power source for proper operation. The DC input is diode protected against
reverse polarity connection.
In the USA and in Canada, an Aventura Technologies FBR-PSUS12DC1A is supplied with this unit.
Contact Aventura Technologies for ordering power supply units for use in countries other than the USA
and Canada.
POWER CONNECTION
Power is supplied to the unit via a two-pin terminal block connector. Follow the labeling on the unit for
proper connections of the +12 volt dc and ground leads.

ETHERNET CONNECTION
The UTP Ethernet connection is made via an RJ-45 connector on the front of the unit. For proper
operation, the use of a patch cord and/or cable rated Category-5 or better is required.
FIBER CONNECTION
The fiber optic connections vary, depending on the selection of SFP module. Refer to the instructions
supplied with the SFP module for the proper procedure of installing the SFP module in the FBR-
1FE1FX-SFP-MINI unit, as well as for the proper procedure for connecting the fiber to the SFP
module.
STATUS INDICATORS
Each unit provides the following LED status indicators to aid in installation and troubleshooting:
POWER INDICATOR
A bi-color LED indicator monitors the voltage at the unit’s input connector and the operating internal
voltage of the module. The power status associated with this indicator is summarized below.
Power Indicator Power Status
Green Proper Input Voltage Present – Proper Internal Operating Voltage Present
Red Proper Input Voltage Present – Internal Operating Voltage Faulty
Off No Input Voltage Detected
OPTICAL LINK INDICATOR
A bi-color LED indicator monitors the power of, and proper synchronization with the optical input
signal that is being received at the FBR-1FE1FX-SFP-MINI. The Optical Link status associated with
this indicator is summarized below.
Optical Link Indicator Optical Status
Green Proper Optical Input Present
Red Optical Input Not Detected
Off Check Power Supply
ETHERNET INDICATORS
Two LED indicators on the RJ-45 connector of the FBR-1FE1FX-SFP-MINI unit monitor the status
and operating mode of the UTP Ethernet link. The Ethernet status associated with these indicators is
summarized below.
Ethernet Indicators Ethernet Status
Speed
(GREEN) Lit: Link operating at 100Mbps
Unlit: link operating at 10Mbps or no link
Link/Activity
(GREEN) Lit: Good link on the port
