10 GigaBit Media Converter

Introduction
Net Optics 10 GigaBit Converters are optimized, high-performance media
converters for connecting dissimilar 10 GigaBit devices and links. Deploy these
bidirectional media converters individually to connect SR and LR ber devices,
or in pairs at each end of long-distance ber links. These Converters are the per-
fect solution for dispersed networks where media conversion is required between
multimode segments separated by long distances.
Fast and Versatile
The 10 GigaBit Converters support seamless media conversion at 10 Gbps over
link distances up to 65 meters with 50/125 multimode SR ber and up to 10
kilometers with singlemode LR ber. These Converters feature XFP module
connectors for quick reconguration and redeployment.
Long Link Reliability
To control jitter over long optical links, the Converter features Clock and Data
Recovery (CDR). CDR ensures that the overall jitter budget is not exceeded
when deploying converter pairs with long ber links.
Simple and Reliable
Media conversion is a snap since all network and monitoring cables neces-
sary for plug-and-play deployment are included with the Tap. For extra uptime
protection, Net Optics Converters offer redundant power connections. Should the
primary power source fail, the Converter automatically switches to the backup
power source with no trafc interruption.

Installing the Media Converter
The Converter has two LC XFP connectors labeled according to media type. If
you have any doubt, you can verify connector type by removing the XFP and
reading the label on the bottom of the XFP.
Warning: The intended use of this product is in systems that contain lasers.
DANGER: Invisible Laser Radiation when open or when operating with ber
disconnected. AVOID DIRECT EXPOSURE TO THE BEAM. Never operate
unit with a broken ber or with a ber connector disconnected.
To install the Converter:
1. If you are rack mounting the Converter, install the panel in the rack with the
four thumbscrews provided.
2. Insert the Converter into one of the available slots and secure it to the panel by
tightening the thumbscrews.
3. Using the supplied cables, connect the Converter ports to the corresponding
devices.
4. Connect the redundant power supplies to separate power sources and then to
the converter.
5. Secure the DC power connectors with the connector clips.
6. Check the Power LEDs to verify that the Converter is receiving power.
7. Check the Link LEDs to verify that the link has been established.
Installing a Conversion Kit
The conversion kits include the XFP and matching cable. Remove power from
the Converter before installing the conversion kit.
To change the XFP:
1. Remove the cable and lower the wire clip to release the old XFP.
2. With the clip in the lowered position, pull gently on the clip to free the XFP.
3. Insert the new XFP until you hear it click into place.
4. Connect the approriate cable and check the Link LEDs.
