2. Overview: About the MultiPower Industrial Media Converters
The MultiPower Industrial Media Converters provide a single conversion
between 10/100 Base-T twisted pair and 100 Base-SX/FX fiber. This device
Auto Negotiates speed and duplex on the copper port and the fiber is
100Mbps, FDX. The unit supports jumbo frames up to 1916 MTU.
The MultiPower Industrial Media Converters are fixed fiber transceiver
models that include one 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 connector and one 10/100
Mbps SC fiber connector which can support Single Mode fiber or Multi Mode
fiber in Dual Strand or Single Strand fiber.
The MultiPower Industrial Media Converters are Industrial Ethernet devices
which allows for extended temperature operation of -25ºC to +85ºC for DC
power, or (-10ºC to +50ºC when using the AC adapter). When installing the
MultiPower Industrial Media Converters in an 18 slot tray or using DC power,
the temperature range supported is -13°F to +185°F (-25°F to +85°F).

Chapter 3: Install the MultiPower Industrial Media Converters
877-877-2269 | blackbox.com Page 9
3. Install the MultiPower Industrial Media Converters
The MultiPower Industrial Media Converters install virtually anywhere as
standalone devices in locations with extremely limited space. Installation
options include:
•Velcro strips
•DIN rail mounting with DIN Rail clips
•PowerTray/18 for high density applications
3.1 DIN Rail Mounting
The MultiPower Industrial Media Converters ship
from the factory with DIN clips, allowing installation
on a DIN rail. Depending on the installation, the
MultiPower Industrial Media Converters can be
mounted parallel or perpendicular to the DIN rail.
Use the supplied screws to attach the DIN clips to
the MultiPower Industrial Media Converters, and
then snap the converter to the DIN rail.
To remove the converter from the DIN rail, use a
flat-head screwdriver in the slot to gently pry the
converter from the rail.
NOTE
The DIN clips are designed for use on a DIN-35 rail.
3.2 Cascading DC Power
When installing multiple MultiPower Industrial Media Converters on a DIN
rail, the end user can connect to one DC input source, and then cascade
from one DC block to the next, until reaching the maximum current available.

3.3 Powering the MultiPower Industrial Media Converters
The MultiPower Industrial Media Converters include multiple powering
options:
•A country-specific, high-reliability AC power adapter (included)
•The IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet standard; draws power from
power sourcing equipment
•The 4-terminal DC power block
•IE PowerTray 18-Slot AC for Rack Mounting
•USB cable
•IE-5V DIN rail mount Power Supply
3.4 About Power over Ethernet (PoE) and MultiPower Industrial Media
Converters
Power over Ethernet technology allows the MultiPower Industrial Media
Converters to be Powered Devices (PD) and draw power when connected to
Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE). Power Sourcing Equipment distributes
an electrical current across existing copper data cabling.
3.5 DC Terminal Block Wiring Instructions
The MultiPower Industrial Media
Converters can also be powered with
the DC terminal block. From a power
source, connect to any one positive
and any one negative terminal on the
MultiPower Industrial Media
Converters.
NOTE
When using stranded wire, the leads must be tinned and equivalent to a 16 AWG solid
conductor. The DC terminal block is protected against mis-wiring. If the unit is mis-
wired, positive power lead to the negative terminal and negative power lead to the
positive terminal, it will not function. When powering a unit with voltages near the
upper limit of the device’s specification (for example: 48 volts) take precautions to limit
the voltage at the units terminal block. When turning on high voltage DC circuits, initial
voltages may momentarily exceed the unit’s specification.

Chapter 4: Operation

4. Operation
The MultiPower Industrial Media Converters include two LEDs, located on
the RJ-45 connector.
LED functions are as follows:
LED functions are as follows (above illustration is representative):
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 amber when a link is established on the copper port;
blinks amber when activity is detected on the copper port.

Chapter 6: Fiber Optic Cleaning Guidelines
877-877-2269 | blackbox.com Page 13
6. 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 Black Box to ensure factory-clean optical devices.
These protective caps should not be removed until the moment of connecting
the fiber cable to the device. If you need 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.

Chapter 7: Electrostatic Discharge Precautions
7. Electrostatic Discharge 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 the units by the edges; do not touch the electronic components or gold
connectors.
4. After removal, always place the 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.
