Overview
Thank you for purchasing PLANET FT-70X family Fast Ethernet
Twisted pair to Fiber-optic Converter. This converter is used to
convert one type media signal to other type equivalent that allows
two type segments connect easily, efciently and inexpensively.
This converter can be used as a standalone unit or as a slide-in
module to the 10 /19 media chassis (up to 15 units) for a TP
and Fiber combined networks at a central wiring closet. Please
contact with your sales representative for more about the 19
media chassis.

Product Outlook
Right View (FT-70X)
There are one RJ-45 Twisted-Pair jack, one ber-optic connector
and six LED indicators on this side.
The ber connector is different from model to model. Please refer
to the section 2 Model List and section 9 Technical Specication
for detail.

Installing the Converter
Please follow these steps to install the converter:
• Turn off the power of the device/station in a network to
which the FT-70X will be attached.
• Ensure that there is no activity in the network.
• Attach fiber cable from the FT-70X to the fiber network.
TX, RX must be paired at both ends for some two con-
nectors models.
• Attach a Cat. 5 UTP cable from the 100Base-TX network
to the RJ-45 port on the FT-70X.

• Connect the 5VDC power adapter to the FT-70X and
verify that the Power LED lights up.
• Turn on the power of the device/station, the TX Link and
FX Link LEDs should light when all cables are attached.
 NOTE:
• RJ-45/STP, UTP Cat 5, straight-through
cable is accepted.
• Cabling from FT-70X TP port to a TP de-
vice is as below:
• To Workstation: DIP switch on DTE
• To Hub/Switch: DIP switch on MPR
• Please refer to section 8 for more about
the wiring distance of your TP, Optic-fiber
networks.
• Please note FT-706A15/706B15 is de-
signed to work together. It means you
must connect FT-706A15 to FT-706B15
from them to work normally. If both ends
are FT-706A15 or FT-706B15, they can’t
work normally and may damage the fiber
connectors.

Duplex Mode Setting
The twisted pair port of FT-70X support duplex mode selection
by Auto-Negotiation (A-N). The following is the duplex mode
parameters:
Fast Ethernet Device FT-70X Duplex Mode support
Fast Ethernet Hub Half-Duplex
Fast Ethernet Switch
(without A-N) Half-Duplex
Fast Ethernet Devices *
Support Auto-Negotiation Full-Duplex / Half-Duplex
 NOTE:
Normally, an A-N switch will be detected and
set to Full-duplex where a dual-speed hub
will be detected and set to Half-Duplex.

The LED Indications
LED Color Status Description
TP ACT Green
Blinks
If fiber-optic is not present
for converter self-diagnose /
detecting
Blinks If both ports link with any TP
packets transmitting
OFF Fiber-optic link is present
OFF
With no TP/FX LINK on, i.e.
only turn on the power and
the ACT do not blink at all,
please consult your local
dealer
TP Link Green ON TP connection is good
FX ACT Green Blinks When any FX packets
transmitting
FX Link Green ON When Fiber connection is
good
FDX* Green ON When Full-duplex mode is
detected in TP port
PWR Green ON When +5VDC power
detected
 NOTE:
Fiber-optic partner should be set to the correct
mode according to this FDX indicator for optimal
network performance.

Cable Connection Parameter
The cable distance limitations are as below:
Duplex Connection Limitation (max.)
Twisted Pair
Half / Full Node to Node
Node to Switch/Hub 100 meters
Multi-Mode Converters
MM Half* Node to Node
Node to Switch 412 meters
MM Full Node to Node
Node to Switch 2 kilometers
Single-Mode Converters (FT-70xS, FT-706A15/706B15)
SM Full Node to Node
Node to Switch
FT-70xS15: 15 km
FT-70xS35: 35 km
FT-70xS50: 50 km
FT-706A15: 15 km
FT-706B15: 15 km
 NOTE:
If the ber port works on half duplex, please
note that Fast Ethernet/100Base-TX network
allows 512 bit-time delay between any two
nodes/stations in a collision domain (when work
in half duplex). The overall bit time of TP/Fiber
wires and devices must below 512 bit-time in
one network segment. To extend the distance,
however, you may use switch to break up a
collision domain and extend the distance.
