The Black Box MTU9XXX range of Fibre Converters provide a simple economic way of
converting from one type of transmission medium to another. Examples include:
Electrical signals on copper to optical signals on fibre, and vice-versa. Single-mode optical
fibre to multimode and vice-versa.
The MTU9XXX range of converters has been designed to be plug and go, conforming to
appropriate standards, physically very compact, and rack mountable in sets of 2 using a
dual face plate, or 18 units in a rack mount kit for large installations. MTU9XXX units often
enable substantial savings to be made in cable costs by utilising the cheapest effective cable
type without incurring the costs of additional router or switch interfaces. Black Box are
continually developing new models, so if the interface combination required is not listed in
this guide, please contact Black Box.
Where electrical signal cabling is connected to MTU9XXX models, do not connect to cabling
which would be required by BS6701 to be equipped with over-voltage protection. Electrical
signal ports should only be connected to SELV ports on other equipment in accordance with
EN60950 clause 2.3.
In order to ensure EMC compliance all electrical signal and data cables and connectors must
use a screened connector shell with a screened cable. The cable screen must be terminated
to the screened connector shell and not connected to any pins of the connector. Failure to
use the correct connector may compromise EMC compliance.
MTU9XXX units are a Class A product. In a domestic environment it may cause radio
interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
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 case the user will be required to correct
the interference at its own expense.

1.6 Regulatory Noti e
The MTU9XXX range are powered by an internal mains-fed power supply. The mains input
voltage is 100-250VAC, 50/400Hz. An alternative -48VDC power supply is available on all units
as a custom order item. The power consumption of each model in the range is shown below,
together with the current consumption over the operating voltage ranges..

2.2 Unpa k and inspe t the equipment.
The carton should contain a single Black Box MTU9XXX model and a power cable. If there is
any visible damage, do not attempt to connect the device. Contact us for advice and
assistance. The rear panels of typical MTU9XXX units are shown on the previous page. Note
that the current rating shown on the rear panel label is the maximum current, which
corresponds to the lowest input voltage.
2.3 Optional ra kmounting pro edure
A Rackmounting kit may be used to mount two MTU9XXX units side by side in a 19” rack.
First remove the two rear panel screws securing each unit’s lid. Fasten the two MTU9XXX
units to the rack mount adaptor plate using the screws that you have removed, as
shown in the illustrations below.
Then secure the rack mounting plate complete with the two MTU9XXX units to the 19” rack
using the locating holes at the ends of the adaptor plate. The recessed twin unit rack will
accept either AC or DC MTU9XXX models.
If you wish to use the optional 18 unit mounting rack, instructions are provided with the
rack.

The unit requires 100-250 VAC, 50-60 Hz AC supply. An alternative -48VDC power supply
is available for all models. See Section1 for further details on power consumption.
Plug an IEC mains cable into the back of the MTU9XXX and switch on. Check that the Alarm
LED on the rear panel is illuminated red or green, flashing or steady. If the LED is off, mains
power is not being supplied to the unit.
When the ports are connected, the Alarm LED should give a steady Green display. See
Section 3 for set-up information for the various models in the MTU9XXX range.
The unit requires 100-250 VAC, 50-60 Hz AC supply. An alternative -48VDC power supply
is available for all models. See Section1 for further details on power consumption.
The MTU9XXX offers an Alarm relay to provide an external warning of problems which may
arise. The interface is presented on an R 45 connector, and offers both normally open and
normally closed contacts. Maximum contact rating is 1.5 Amp at 125 VDC. Normal is the
powered up, non-alarmed state. The connections are shown in the table below:

3.7 MT 9010/9011 set-up
There are no bit-switch settings for the unit’s normal operation. The switches are used to set
up Outside Loop tests for the unit. The User (port (STM1 BNC) and the Network port (STM
1 Fibre optical) can be selected separately (i.e. not at the same time) for test action.
The Outside loop test loops the incoming signal at the interface and transmits it back upon
itself to validate the line that feeds the port.
Two types of label may appear on a MTU9010/9011 unist. The bit-switch layout is different
for each type of unit. There are no other functional differences between the two types of
unit.
