Installation
Install the Fiber Cable
1. Locate or build 1000Base-SX/LX compliant fiber cable with male, two-
stranded TX to RX connectors installed at both ends.
2. Connect the fiber cables to the J/GE-CF-01 media converter as described:
• Connect the male TX cable connector to the female TX port.
• Connect the male RX cable connector to the female RX port.
3. Connect the fiber cables to the other device (another media converter,
hub, etc.) as described:
• Connect the male TX cable connector to the female RX port.
• Connect the male RX cable connector to the female TX port.
Install the Copper Cable
NOTE: The AutoCross™ feature automatically configures the media converter
to link up when connected to 1000Base-T devices, regardless if the copper
cable is MDI (straight-through) or MDI-X (crossover).
1. Locate or build 1000Base-T compliant copper cables with male, RJ-45
connectors installed at both ends.
2. Connect the RJ-45 connector at one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port on
the J/GE-CF-01 media converter.
3. Connect the RJ-45 connector at the other end of the cable to the RJ-45
port on the other device (switch, workstation, etc.).

Troubleshooting
If the media converter fails, isolate and correct the fault by determining the
answers to the following questions and then taking the indicated action:
1. Is the Power LED illuminated?
NO
• Is the power adapter the proper type of voltage and cycle frequency
for the AC outlet?
• Is the power adapter properly installed in the media converter and in
the outlet?
• Contact Tech Support: 1-800-260-1312, Int’l: 00-1-952-941-7600.
YES
• Proceed to step 2.
2. Is the Copper LED illuminated?
NO
• Check the twisted-pair copper cables for proper connection.
• Contact Tech Support: 1-800-260-1312, Int’l: 00-1-952-941-7600.
YES
• Proceed to step 3.
3. Is the Fiber LED illuminated?
NO
• Check the fiber cables for proper connection.
• Verify that the TX and RX cables on the media converter are
connected to the RX and TX ports, respectively, on the other device.
• Contact Tech Support: 1-800-260-1312, Int’l: 00-1-952-941-7600.
YES
• Proceed to step 4.
4. Is the Copper LED flashing?
NO
• If there is no activity on the 1000Base-T port, proceed to step 5.
• If there is activity on the 1000Base-T port, disconnect and reconnect
the twisted-pair copper cable to restart the initialization process.
• Restart the workstation to restart the initialization process.
• Contact Tech Support: 1-800-260-1312, Int’l: 00-1-952-941-7600.
YES
• Proceed to step 5.
5. Is the DPX/COLL (duplex/collision) LED illuminated?
YES
• The media converter has selected full-duplex for the copper link.
• If this is not the correct mode, disconnect and reconnect the twisted-
pair copper cable to restart the initialization process.
• Contact Tech Support: 1-800-260-1312, Int’l: 00-1-952-941-7600.
