INTRODUCTION
Product Overview:
The 10BaseT to 10BaseFL Converter is primarily designed
for network or data installations that require the migration of
cable media between conventional coppers based wiring to
Fiber based installations.
These Converters have been specifically designed to
support both a RJ-45 jack and a ST or SC fiber optic
connector. This allows it to connect 10BaseTnetwork to the
10BaseFL (fiber) networks.
In addition, this Converter features an MDI/MDI-X
crossover “push button” switch for direct connection to
either a workstation, switch or hub. This allows the network
manager the freedom to configure between crossover and
straight through when establishing connection between
RJ-45 ports.
This converter can create potential distances of up to 12km
(39600feet) with single mode fiber between a LAN switch
and another switch or a file server.

Positioning of Converter
In order to achieve the aim of effectively expanding an
Ethernet network, one solution is to position two converters
back to back between the following end devices:

Installation 10
Install Your Converter
Converter to 10BaseT Device Connection
1. Make sure that the length for the straight through
twisted pair cable (Category 3 or better) between the
10BaseT device (hub or switch) and the converter is no
longer than 100 meters.
2. Connect one end of the twisted pair cable to the RJ-45
jack on the converter and the other end of the cable to
the RJ-45 jack on the 10BaseT device.
Converter to Converter or 10BaseFL Device
Connection
1. Connect one (ST or SC) end of a fiber cable to either ST
or SC connector on the converter.The other end of the
cable will connect to the ST or SC connector on the
other converter or the10BaseFL device. The transmit
(Tx) connector on one 10BaseFL device must connect
to the receive (Rx) connector of the device it faces, and
vice-versa.
Converter to a 10/100 Device
When connecting this 10BaseT to 10BaseFL converter to a
10/100BaseT/TX device, the 10/100BaseT/TX device will
be running at 10Mbps under half duplex mode only.

MOUNTING
This converter can be placed in any location that will make
its installation convenient. If you place the converter on a
work surface or on top of existing networking equipment
you may add the four rubber feet included in the packaging.
This converter can also be mounted on a vertical surface.
Just use the template opposite and mark the position of the
holes. Simply use two screws and mount the converter in
place.
Please exercise caution when using power tools. Also take
care to install this unit away from damp or wet locations, or
in close proximity to very hot surfaces. This will have a
detrimental effect on the converter and cables. An ideal
location is in a lightly cooled environment,such as a typical
equipment room.

CABLES
The following are some recommendations as to what you
should and should not do when installing cables.
Remember -cables are the deciding factor in deciding if a
network performs to the maximum throughput.
24mm
6mm
Try to
maintain
a bend
radius of
(min.) 4x
the diameter
of the cable
for UTP and
100x for fiber.
Try not to
allow the
cable to
twist too
much -this
creates a
strain on
the internal
cables.
Place cable ties
at regular
intervals -do
not over
tighten
cable ties -try
to avoid using
with fiber.
Do not stretch
the cable
especially on
corners, in
vertical cable
trays and when
spanning long
distances.
