FCC MARKING
This Equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which
case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received; including interference that may cause undesired operation.
CE MARKING
This equipment complies with the requirements relating to electromagnetic compatibility, EN
55032/24 class A for ITE, the essential protection requirement of Council Directive 2014/30/EU
on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility.

Introduction
Patton’s FP101EM converts singlemode or multimode fiber to a copper Ethernet signal. The increased
bandwidth and reliability is ideal for applications involving devices such as IP security cameras, VoIP
phones, wireless access points, POS kiosks, BACs, PLCs and many other remote networking needs.
Because Ethernet over Cat 5e/6 cables is limited to only 100 meters (328 feet), using fiber as a backhaul
allows for a massive increase in distances. SFP options for multimode can reach up to 2 km (1.24 miles),
and singlemode options can range as far as 120 km (74 miles). In addition to the reach, you get Fiber’s
superior immunity to noise and, harmful transients (surges).
The FP101EM is housed in an IP30-rated DIN-rail or wall-mount enabled enclosure, and has an operating
temperature of -40 to 75°C. Its rugged design and wide temperature range makes it an ideal media
converter for industrial or harsh environments. Its small size even allows you to put it inside the enclosures
of your primary devices.
The Fiberplex 101EM is very simple to use, completely plug and play. LEDs will make it clear when
power is detected on the power inputs.

Installation package
This unit can be din-rail mounted or wall-mounted. Din-rail brackets and wall-mount brackets are
included.
Power connection
This unit provides a 3-pin terminal block. The DC voltage range is from 12VDC to 56VDC. Always make
sure your input voltage is within this supported voltage range.
To connect power: Follow the printed polarity for V+, V- and Ground. Connect positive wire to V+,
connect negative wire to V- and also connect neutral wire to ground.
Power connecting procedure:
STEP 1 – Pull out 3 pin terminal block.
STEP 2 – Connect wire to V+, V- and Ground.
STEP 3 – Connect SFP fiber wire to fiber port.
STEP 4 – Plug back 3 pin terminal block to its place.
WARNING -- Always SHUT OFF power source to connect power wire.
WARNING -- DO NOT force SFP fiber into SFP housing without removing terminal block
WARNING -- Any exceeded input voltage will not make this unit function and may damage this
unit.

Dip switch function
This unit is equipped with dip switches, located on the front panel. Adjusting the dip switches will change
the default function of this unit. This unit has set to manufacturer default as: SFP speed 1000M and LFP
function OFF.
