About the PC Media Converter (Gigabit)
The PC Media Converter (Gigabit) is a low-cost, IEEE 802.3 single-conversion,
PC Card media converter that converts 1000Base-TX twisted pair to 1000Base-SX
multi-mode or 1000Base-LX single-mode fiber. The PC Media Converter is avail-
able with one RJ-45 connector for the twisted pair port and a SC connector for the
fiber port.
The PC Media Converter is also available for single-strand which allows two
individual channels to share one strand of fiber; Full-Duplex data travels on dif-
ferent wavelengths— 1310 nm and 1550 nm.
The PC Media Converter can be mounted into any PC with a standard PCI or
ISA slot, and includes diagnostic LEDs for each port.
This operation manual applies to:
LG6630C TX/SX-MM850-SC, 300m
LG6631C TX/LX-SM1310-SC, 10km

Federal Communication Commission Radio
Frequency Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B 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 gener-
ates, 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 inter-
ference 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 B 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 dépas-
sant les limites applicables aux appareils numériques de classe B prescrites dans
le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique publié par le ministère des
Communications du Canada.

Installing the PC Media Converter (Gigabit
Offering plug-and-play operation, the PC Media Converter (Gigabit) comes
ready to install, utilizing power from the PC’s motherboard. To install the PC
Media Converter :
• Turn off the PC.
• Remove its cover.
• Find an empty ISA or PCI slot.
• Align the PC Media Converter in the slot.
• Screw the the PC Media Converter into the computer casing’s bracket.
• Make sure the PC Media Converter does not extend past the edge of the
case.
• Attach the keyed mini-power connector to the PC Media Converter.
• Attach the male end of the “Y” connector to one of the computer’s standard
size power connectors.
• Replace the cover.
• Attach the cables between the PC Media Converter and the devices that will
be connected.
Fiber Optic Cleaning Guidelines
Fiber optic equipment is extremely susceptible to contamination by particles of
dirt or dust which can obstruct the optics and cause performance degradation.
Good system performance requires clean optics and connector ferrules.
1) Only use fiber patch cords (or connectors) from a reputable supplier; low-
quality components can cause many hard-to-diagnose problems.
2) IMC Networks installs dust caps to ensure factory-clean optical devices.
These protective caps should not be removed until the moment of connect-
ing the fiber cable to the device. Assure that the fiber is properly terminat-
ed, polished and free of any dust or dirt and that the location is as free from
dust and dirt as possible.
3) Store spare caps in a dust-free environment such as a sealed plastic bag or
box so reinstalled caps do not introduce any contamination to the optics.
4) Reinstall the protective caps when disconnecting the fiber device.
5) To clean contaminated optics, alternate between blasting with clean, dry,
compressed air and flushing with methanol to remove particles of dirt.

Contact Black Box for warranty information.
WARNING
Integrated circuits and fiber optic components are extremely susceptible to
electrostatic discharge damage. Only qualified service technicians using tools
and techniques comforming to accepted industry practices should handle these
components.

Twisted Pair Crossover/Pass-Through Connections
The PC Media Converter features a crossover/pass-through button, located on
the faceplate next to the RJ-45 connector, to set the twisted pair connection type.
Select a pass-through connection by pressing the button. A crossover connection
is selected when the button is OUT. If it is not known which connection is need-
ed, set the button to whatever setting makes the twisted pair LNK (link) LED
glow.
LED Indicators
Each PC Media Converter includes two LEDs, located on the RJ-45 connector.
LED functions are as follows:
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 green when a link is established on the copper port;
blinks green when activity is detected on the copper port.
