GE-C301 Gigabit Ethernet 1000Mbps
Media Converter
1000Base-T(RJ-45) to 1000Base-X(SC)
User's Manual (620−0381−000)
1. Overview
IEEE802.3z/AB 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet supports two
types of media for network connection such as 1000Base-T
and 1000Base-SX/LX. GE-C301 media converter is designed
to connect two types of segments to operate smoothly. The
converter can be used as a standalone unit or as a slide-in
module to the 19" converter rack(up to 10 units) for use at a
central wiring closet.
2. Model Description
Model Fiber Connector Type
TP↔SC MM SC multi mode 850nm
TP↔SC SM SC single mode 1310nm
The 1000Mbps Fiber Transceivers:
SC multi-mode Default
SC.S10Km single-mode ∗Optional
∗: SC single-mode S10Km model is option
∗∗: VF-45, MT-RJ models are available on request
3. Checklist
Before you start installing the Converter, verify that the
package contains the following:
 The TP-Fiber Converter
 AC-DC Power Adapter
 This User's Manual
Please notify your sales representative immediately if any of
the aforementioned items is missing or damaged.
4. LED Description
LED Color Function
FX LINK Green Lit when fiber connection is good
FX FDX Green Lit when fiber full-duplex is active
TP LINK Green Lit when TP connection is good
TP FDX Green Lit when TP full-duplex is active
ACT Green Lit when any traffic is present
PWR Green Lit when +5V power is coming up
5. Installing the Converter
Note: The Media Converter is hot-swappable.
Wear a grounding device for electrostatic discharge.
For as a standalone unit:
⇒ Verify the AC-DC adapter conforms to your country
AC power requirement and insert the power plug
For as a slide-in unit:
⇒ Verify the media converter is the right model and conforms
to the chassis slot. The Media Converter and Rack are built
to match in dimensions, DC jack, DC receptacle and power
safety
⇒ Locate +5VDC power jack on converter back, carefully
slide in and plug to 19" rack +5VDC power receptacle
Attach the fiber cable. The Tx, Rx fiber cable must
be paired at both ends
Fiber
Port
Default: AUTO. The "Fiber Mode" must be set to
"FORCE" when you intend to connect a pair of
GE-C301, or GE-C301 to GM-C301 via fiber
optic cable at both ends of a fiber connection.
Attach TP Cat. 5 cable to TP port
TP
Port
The 1000 TP port is transmit/receive wires auto-
link (e.g. either MDI-X or MDI-II). It will auto-
cross-connect transmit/receive wires to a switch or
to a workstation.

Warning:
 The "Fiber Mode" must be set to "FORCE" when you
intend to connect a pair of GM-C301, or GM-C301 to
GE-C301 via fiber optic cable at both ends of a fiber
connection. It does not work if "Fiber Mode" is set to
"AUTO" in this connection.
 For other/different model converter fiber connection,
both local and remote fiber mode must be set to an
identical mode ("AUTO or FORCE") according to their
operation/configuration. Refer to the corresponding
device/converter's Technical Manual for proper setting.
