Ethernet Over Fiber Converter
1+1 PORT SLIMLINE DIN MOUNT
Introduction
The RLH 1+1 Port SlimLine Ethernet Over Fiber system is a
hardened, DIN mountable multifunction converter that supports
10/100M Ethernet communications over fiber optic cable. Fiber
optics not only provide the long distance Ethernet transmission
capability up to 74 miles (120km), but also provide immunity to
EMI/RFI and transient surges. They are ideal for data
communications near large electrical equipment or where radio
interference can be an issue.
The SlimLine converter is a compact unit that requires only
32mm of DIN rail space, and requires a local 12~36VDC power
to operate.
Key Features
• Ideal for critical, high voltage, remote or un-manned
locations that must remain operating 24/7/365
• IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3x, IEEE 802.3u compliant
• RJ45 UTP port with 10/100 auto-negotiation
• MDI-II/MDI-X auto detection
• Extends network span up to 1.2 miles (2km) on multimode and
up to 74 miles (120km) on single-mode fiber
• Convenient LED status indicators
• Dual and Single (bi-directional) fiber models available
• Environmentally hardened to operate in -40˚F to +167˚F
(-40˚C to +75˚C) environments
• DIN rail mount
• Covered by our 5 year warranty

USER GUIDE
RLH Industries, Inc.

General Safety Practices
Intended Audience
This guide is intended for use by knowledgeable telco/network installation, operation and repair
personnel. Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information in this guide is accurate.
However, due to constant product improvement, specifications and information contained in this
document are subject to change without notice.
Conventions
Symbols for notes, attention, and caution are used throughout this manual to provide readers with
additional information, advice when special attention is needed, and caution to prevent injury or
equipment damage.
The equipment discussed in this document may require tools designed for the purpose being described.
RLH recommends that service personnel be familiar with the correct handling and use of any installation
equipment used, and follow all safety precautions including the use of protective personal equipment as
required.
Caution - Severe Shock Hazard
• Never install during a lightning storm or where unsafe high voltages are present.
• Copper network wires may carry high DC voltages. Use caution when handling copper wiring.
Warning
The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for connection to intrabuilding or
unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building port(s) of the equipment MUST NOT be metallically
connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as
intra-building interfaces only (Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4) and require isolation
from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to
connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.
Special handling requirements
Be careful when handling electronic components
ATTENTION
ELECTROSTATIC
SENSITIVE
DEVICES
• This product contains static sensitive components.
• Do not open the enclosure, there are no user serviceable parts.
• Follow proper electrostatic discharge procedures.
This product utilizes circuitry that can be damaged by static electricity. Before installing, discharge static
electricity on your body by physically making contact with earth ground. Failure to follow ESD precautions
may cause damage to the unit and prevent proper operation.

Guidelines for handling terminated fiber cable
• Do not bend fiber cable sharply. Use gradual and smooth bends to avoid damaging glass fiber.
• Keep dust caps on fiber optic connectors at all times when disconnected.
• Do not remove dust caps from unused fiber.
• Keep fiber ends and fiber connectors clean and free from dust, dirt and debris. Contamination will cause signal loss.
• Do not touch fiber ends.
• Store excess fiber on housing spools or fiber spools at site

Applications
Network equipment in high voltage areas can be at risk due to Ground Potential Rise (GPR). A copper
network cable referenced to a remote ground can become a path for high voltages during a ground fault.
Use of all-dielectric fiber optic cable instead of copper completely eliminates the presence of a remote
ground, which dramatically increases safety of personnel and reliability of equipment. By utilizing fiber
optic cable, the 10/100M Ethernet over fiber converter provides absolute electrical isolation between both
ends of the network.
Copper twisted pair Ethernet is limited to 100m/328ft without extenders. Using fiber optic cable provides
long distance service up to 120km/74mi. without any additional equipment. Optical fiber is immune to
EMI/RF interference, ground loops, and high voltage surges from lightning or ground faults, and is ideal in
electrically noisy environments such as near large power sources, electrical motors, and radio
communications equipment.

Installation
Prior to installation:
• Check for shipping damage
• Check the contents to ensure correct model and fiber type
• Have a clean, dry, DIN rail or wall mount installation environment ready
Required for installation:
•12~36VDC local power source
Note: In order to maintain high voltage isolation, Units at each end must be powered from separate
isolated power sources.
Connect fiber optic cable
Multimode and single-mode Ethernet cards are equipped with dual ST, SC or FC female optical
connectors, or a single bi-directional connector, depending on the model.
Connect fibers to the TX (Transmit) and RX (Receive) optical connectors. For dual fiber models, the TX
connector must go to the RX connector on the unit at the other end. The other end of the fiber may be
connected to another SlimLine 10/100 Ethernet converter or any compatible 100Base-FX FIber Optic
Ethernet device.
For bi-directional, single fiber models, there is only one connector used for transmitting and receiving.
Bi-directional units must be used in pairs.
Note: Fiber cable should always be routed loosely avoiding tight bends.
Connect Ethernet cable
The 10/100/Base-T copper connection is made via the RJ45 port. The TP port is auto-negotiating and
requires no additional settings.
Connect Power
Attach a FG ground wire to the ground screw on the housing. Alternately, attach a ground wire to the FG
terminal on the power connector. Connect a local 12~36VDC power supply to the power input terminals.
Note: The power terminals are polarity sensitive. Attach the Positive DC wire to the V+ terminal.
