General Description
KC-200TF Fast Ethernet media converter series are designed to
convert a 100BASE-TX signal to a 100BASE-FX signal. It is used
to extend the connection distance between two Fast Ethernet
Twisted-pair devices via fiber cable transparently with no perfor-
mance degradation. The converter series provide different types
of fiber connectors for diversified applications.
The outline of the converter is:

Connectors & Cables
100BASE-TX RJ-45 Connectors (UTP Port)
One RJ-45 connector is provided on the converter for 100BASE-
TX connection. For easy connection to any device using standard
straight-through UTP cable, a push button is available to set the
crossover function for the RJ-45.

2 RX- Tx-
3 Tx+ Rx+
6 Tx- Rx-
The UTP port is equipped with auto-negotiation capability which
supports connection to an auto-negotiation device in full-duplex
operation. This feature preserves the connection performance of
the connected device.
100BASE-TX UTP Cable
Cable: Category 5 UTP
Maximum cable distance: 100 meters (328 feet)

Fiber Optic Connector (Fiber Port)
The series provides different types of fiber connectors for different
applications.The connectors includeST, SC, MT-RJand VF-45and
are shown as follows:
Fiber Cables
The wavelength used is 1310nm. The series also support MM
(multimode) fiber cables and SM (single mode) fiber cables. The
recommendedMM cableis 62.5/125mmand SMcable is9/125mm.

Installation
Installing Power Adapter
1.Install the media converter with the AC power adapter
provided. ( +7.5VDC, 1A min.)
2.Connect the power adapter cable to the media converter
before connecting the adapter to the AC outlet.

Making Network Connections
The converters serve as a conversion path between two Fast Eth-
ernet devices. To both devices, the conversion is transparent. The
connection could be one of the following configurations:
Important rule: When a connection is established, make sure
the devices located at both ends of the path are configured and
operated using the same duplex mode and the maximum distance
must comply with IEEE 802.3u specifications.
Thefollowing figure illustratesa connectionexample betweentwo
auto-negotiationdevices. Bothdevices operatein full-duplexmode
after a negotiation process with the converters.
