FiberOptic Converters
Quick Installation Guide
This quick installation guide provides instructions for installing a FiberOptic
Converter.
1-1 Introducing the FiberOptic Converter
The FiberOptic Converters are used to convert Fast Ethernet
100Base-TX to fiber optic 100Base-FX network connection. The
Converters can be used as a stand-alone unit or as a slide-in module
to the 19" converter rack (up to 10 units) for use at a central wiring
closet. The following models are available:
• FiberOptic Converter-ST (multi-mode)
• FiberOptic Converter-SC (multi-mode)
Feature/Specifications
•Standards: IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet 100Base-TX /FX
•Connectors:
UTP port: RJ-45
Fiber optic port: ST or SC, 1300nm
•Cable:
Fiber optic: 50/125, 62.5/125 or 100/140 µm (multi-mode)
UTP: Category 5 UTP
•Data Transfer Rate:
Half-duplex: up to 100Mbps; Full-duplex: up to 200Mbps
•Cable Connection Parameters: 100Base-TX/FX (multi-mode)
network allows 512-bit time delay between any two node
stations in a collision domain. The overall bit-time of TP/Fiber
wires and devices must be within 512 bit in a segment. You
may use a switch to break up collision domain and extend the
cabling distance.
•Power Requirement: 1.0A @ +5V
•Operating Temperature: 32° to 122° (0° to 50°C)
•Storage Temperature: -40° to 158°F (-40° to 70°C)

PWR Green Lit when +5V power is coming up
•DC Jack and AC/DC Power Adapter:
AC Input: 100–240VAC 50/60Hz
DC Output: 1A @ +5VDC
UTP Cable Length (Max.):
Full- or Half-duplex Node to Node 100 m
Node to Switch 100 m
Fiber Optic Cable Lengths (Max.):
Half-duplex Node to Node: 412 m
(multi-mode) Node to Switch: 412 m
Full-duplex Node to Node: 2000 m
(multi-mode) Node to Switch: 2000 m
Connecting to 10/100Mbps NWay Device:
TP Port Non-NWay, supports 100Mbps only. Force the
partner to 100Mbps speed at Fdx or Hdx.
Fiber Port Non-NWay, supports 100Mbps only. Force the
partner to 100Mbps speed at Fdx or Hdx.
Fdx/Hdx Selectable to match partner's operation mode.
Default: Hdx

2-1 Installing the FiberOptic Converter
1. Insert the power jack from the AC/DC power adapter into the
5VDC jack on the Converter.
2. Connect the cables for the network connection.
a. Connect a fiber cable between the Converter's Tx (transmit) port
andconnectingdevice'sRx (receive) port.Connectanotherfiber
cablebetweentheConverter'sRx(receive)portandtheconnecting
device's Tx (transmit) port.
b. Connect a UTP Cat. 5 cable between the Converter's TP port and
the connecting device's TP port.
3. Full- or half- (default) duplex mode is selectable and must match
the remote link device's mode.
NOTE: Wiring pin-outs for connections from the TP port:
-To a Switch or Hub/Repeater (MPR) :
Straight-through cable 1, 2, 3, 6 to 1, 2, 3, 6
-To a workstation (DTE) or NIC:
Cross-over cable 1 to 3, 2 to 6, 3 to 1, 6 to 2
