CHAPTER 2: OVERVIEW
2. OVERVIEW
2.1 INTRODUCTION
The unmanaged PoE PSE Media Converter is a next generation Ethernet media converter offering one gigabit per second performance.
It is used in Ethernet copper to fiber media conversion applications over long distances.
The media converter delivers one (10M/100M/1G) RJ-45 with one PoE port (supports 802.3af/at up to 15.4 W/30 W) and one GbE SC or
LC port. The converter provides high hardware performance and environment flexibility for Ethernet applications.
2.2 AVAILABLE MODELS
Three models are available:
LPS500A-MM-LC-R3: TP to Multimode Fiber Media Converter with RJ-45 and LC connectors
LPS500A-MM-SC-R3: TP to Multimode Fiber Media Converter with RJ-45 and SC connectors
LPS500A-SM-10K-LC-R3: TP to Singlemode Fiber Media Converter with RJ-45 and SC connectors
2.3 FEATURES
RJ-45 link supports IEEE 802.3ab 1000BASE-T Gbps Ethernet over twisted-pair cable
Fiber link supports IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-X Gbps Ethernet over fiberoptic cable
Provides IEEE 802.4at maximum 30 W Power over Ethernet (PoE)
DIP switch sets PoE, LFP, and normal/cut-through configurations
Power over Ethernet (PoE): The PoE converter provides PoE power and supports various PoE PD device types (IP-phone, IP-camera,
WiFi-AP) for end users to eliminate an extra power cable to these devices
Link Fault Passthrough (LFP): When this is enabled, the UTP receiver is passed to the fiber transmitter to make the media converter
appear transparent to the end devices that are connected. It uses LFP to indicate when far-end fault issues occur. If a fault occurs, the end
devices indicate a failure for troubleshooting.
2.4 WHAT’S INCLUDED

The TP-Fiber converter is specially designed with an optic Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) model that can transport a
bidirectional full duplex signal over a single fiber simultaneously.

CHAPTER 5: LINK FAULT PASSTHROUGH
5. LINK FAULT PASSTHROUGH
The LFP (link fault passthrough) in a TX/FX converter application is controlled by the software and instantly takes effect. Link status on
one port is propagated to the other port to notice the remote nodes. If the TP port is unplugged, this converter stops transmission on the
fiber port. This causes the remote fiber node link to fail. An LED shows the link failure on both TP and fiber ports. If the fiber link fails, this
converter restarts auto-negotiation on the TP port but always stays in the link failure state. This causes the remote TP node link to fail.
An LED also shows the link failure on both TP and fiber ports. Refer to Figure 5-1 shown below for the normal status when the link
succeeds.
Also refer to Figure 5-2 and Figure 5-3 for the error status when TP Cable A, Fiber Cable B, or Fiber Cable C fails to connect.
NOTE: Link fault pass through (LFP) function only takes effect as S1-Bit2 (see Figure 5-4) is enabled. Disabled S1-Bit2 will turn this media
converter into a general one.
