User's Manual
FCC Warning
The LC-MCGSFP has been tested and found to comply within the limits of a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These standards
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when these devices are operatedin a commercial environment. These devices
generate, use and can radiate radio frequency energy and may cause harmful interference to radio communications unless installed in accordance
with this User's Manual. Operation of these devices in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference which will make the user responsible for
the appropriate remedial action at his/her own expense.
CE Warning
These are Class A products. In a domestic environment these products may cause radio interference. The user will need to take appropriate
precautions.
Notices
• This product is suitable for indoor use only
• Put the dust covers back on the fiber ports when not in use
•
WARNING:
Never look directly down into any fiber optic port as retinal damage may result
Installation (Stand Alone Use)
1.
Place the Converter on a clean, flat and safe location that has easy & close access to AC power.
2.
Connect a Cat5e (or better) Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port of the LC-MCGSFP converter.(This port is auto-negotiating and auto-crossover)
3.
Connect the other end of the Cat5e (or better) Ethernet Cable into your network device (Switch, Router, PC, etc.)
4.
Insert a 3.3V SFP (Small Form Factor Pluggable) module into slot.
5.
Remove the dust cover plugs from the SFP transceiver module.
6.
Identify the TX and RX legs of your duplex fiber optic cable and then match them up with the SFP transceiver module. Insert the appropriate
legs into the SFP Module.
7.
Insert the other end of the fiber optic cable into your remote network device or 2nd media converter making sure to keep track of which ones
are the TX & RX legs.
8.
Insert the power cable plug directly into its receptacle located at the back of the LC-MCGSFP.
9.
Plug the power adapter into an available AC socket.
10.
Check the LED's as the device is powered on to verify that the Power LED is lit. If not, check that the power cable is inserted correctly into
the unit and securely plugged into the wall outlet.
11.
Check the Network connection LED's to make sure you are connected and able to transmit data.
Installation (Use with L-com LC-MCC14AA 14 Slot Media Converter Chassis)
1.
Check the orientation of the media converter, and then install the retention bracket that is included with the chassis (For detailed installation
instructions for the Chassis refer to its user's manual)
2.
Slide the Converter into the specific slot in the chassis that you intend to use making sure to seat the unit properly onto the Power connection
at the back of the slot then secure to chassis with bracket installed in step 1.
3.
Connect a Cat5e (or Better) Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port of the
LC-MCGxx-XX
series converter. {This port is auto-negotiating and auto-
crossover)
4.
Connect the other end of the Cat5e (or better) Ethernet Cable into your network device (Switch, Router, PC, etc.)
5.
Remove the dust cover plugs from the duplex fiber port.
7.
Identify the TX and RX legs of your duplex fiber optic cable and then match them up with the SFP transceiver module. Insert the appropriate
legs into the SFP Module.
8.
Insert the other end of the fiber optic cable into your remote network device or 2nd media converter making sure to keep track of which ones
are the TX & RX legs.
9.
Check the LED's to verify that the Power LED is lit. If not, check that the converter is properly seated onto the DC power connection in the
chassis and that the chassis power supplies are plugged in and turned on.
10.
Check the Network connection LED's to make sure you are connected and able to transmit data.

Overview
The LC-MCGSFP is designed to meet the various needs for extending network segments
and is able to extend a copper based network via fiber cable to a maximum distance up
to 80km. (Depending on which SFP is used).
Our LC-MCGSFP is fully compliant with IEEE802.3, IEEE802.3U, IEEE802.3ab, 10/100/WO0Base-Tx, and IEEE802.3z 1000Base-SX/LX,
standards. It can be used as a standalone converter or installed into one of our LC-MCC14AA 14 slot Media Converter chassis. Operation status
can be locally monitored through a set of diagnostic LEDs located on the front panel.
(See LED indicators Chart for Details)
