Description
10/100/1000T to Giga Fiber Media Converter is a cost- effective solution for the
converting 10/100/1000Base-T (Auto MDI/MDIX) to 1000Base-FX cabling. It is a
standalone converter unit, which allows your network connectivity to be more flexible.
10/100/1000T to Giga Fiber Media Converter will allow you to extend the cabling
distance of your 10/100/1000Base-T(Auto MDI/MDIX) by different transceiver type and
its available connection. The Giga Fiber Converters provides you with one Mini Giga
Fiber connector for your fiber optic cable and one Ethernet RJ-45 port (Auto MDI/MDIX)
for your 10/100/1000BaseT copper cable connection. There are 3 DIP- switches to set the
operation mode for UTP, Fiber ports and link loss forwarding function.
Features
Comply with IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3x,
IEEE 802.3ab 1000BaseT, IEEE 802.3z standards
UTP to Fiber (SFP/MINI GBIC) Media converter
Standalone and Chassis design
Build in Link Lose Forwarding Technology
Auto Negotiation Speed, Half/Full Duplex
UTP port support Auto MDI/MDI-X
External DC power adapter 9V/0.7A.

Hardware Description
The 10/100/1000Tto Giga Fiber Media Converter has the dimensions (L x W x H):
119 mm x 85 mm x 26 mm
Front Panel
The Front Panel of the 10/100/1000Tto Giga Fiber Media Converter consists of one Mini
GBIC slot, one RJ-45 Port (Auto MDI/MDIX), and 6 LED Indicators (SPD, LK/ACT, FDX,
Fiber LK/ACT, FDX/COL, and PWR).

2)
(1) RJ-45 Port (3) DIP-Switch
(2) LED (4) MINI GBIC slot
Ports
RJ-45 Port (Auto MDI/MDIX): the Ethernet RJ-45 will auto-sense for
10Base-T, 100Base-TX, or 1000Base-X connections. Auto MDI/MDIX means that
you can connect to another Switch or workstation without changing non-
crossover or crossover cabling.
Mini GBIC slot: It supports 3.3 V.The MINI GBIC module is optional. There are
2 LED indicators for Mini GBIC port – LNK /ACT and FDX.

LED Indicators
There are 6 diagnostic LEDs located on the Front panel of converter module. They
provide real-time information of system and optional status. The following table
provides description of the LED status and their meanings.
LED Status Description
PWR Green Power on
SPD Green 1000 Mbps UTP Speed
Orange
100 Mbps UTP Speed
OFF 10 Mbps UTP Speed
LNK/ACT
(UTP)
Green The unit is linking with its link partner.
Blinks The unit is transmitting or receiving
packets from UTP devices.
Off No device attached
FDX (UTP) Orange The UTP port is operating in full-duplex
mode.
Off Half-duplex mode or no device attached
LNK/ACT
(Fiber)
Green The unit is linking with its link partner.
Blinks The unit is receiving packets from FX
devices.
Off No device attached
FDX (Fiber) Orange The fiber port is operating in full-duplex
mode.
Off Half-duplex mode or no device attached

DIP-switch
The DIP-switch is used to configure operation mode for LLF (Link Lost Forwarding)
and operation mode for UTP/Fiber port. The default value of Dipswitch is OFF.
S/W No Status
Description
1 ON LLF Enable
OFF LLF Disable
2 ON Pure converter mode
OFF Switch converter mode
3 ON reserved
OFF reserved
Link Lost Forwarding): When LLF is enable, allow UTP link failures to be reported to
the fiber side and also allow Fiber link failure to be reported to the UTP side. Therefore,
A link loss forward feature is provided in both UTP and Fiber side.
[Note]Please don’t change the DIP-switch setting when UTP or fiber port is
transmitting or receiving data. It may cause some data error.
Rear Panel
The rear panel contains a power socket. This power socket accepts DC9V voltage and
minimum 0.7A supplied current.

Cabling
Using four twisted-pair, Category 5 cabling for RJ-45 port connection. The
cable between the converter and the link partner (switch, hub, workstation,
etc.) must be less than 100 meters (328 ft.) long.
Fiber segment using single mode connector type must use 9/125 μm single
mode fiber cable. You can connect two devices in the full duplex operation or
half-duplex operation, and the connection distance will depends on the fiber
transceiver type the user has chosen.
Fiber segment using multimode connector type must use 50 or 62.5/125 μm
multimode fiber cable. You can connect two devices up to 550 m distances.
Trouble Shooting
Verify that you are using the right power adapter (DC 9 V, 0.7 A). Please don’t
use the power adapter with DC output bigger than 9 V, or it will burn this
converter down.
Check the configuration DIP-switch. It must be setting in the same operation
mode with the link partner.
Select the proper UTP/Fiber cable to construct your network. The single mode
converter must use single mode fiber cable. Please check that you are using
the right cable.
Don’t both use multimode and single mode.
