• Stand-Alone Media Converter
• Power Over Ethernet (POE)
• 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX
The J/POE-CF-01 Power over Ethernet (POE) is a
two port 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX media
converter capable of providing power to Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) Power
Devices (PD) via the Media Dependent Interface (MDI) twisted pair cable. The
J/POE-CF-01 emulates Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) and provides power via the
10/100Base-TX interface for a remote PD device that complies with the
IEEE802.3af™ standard.

Installation
CAUTION: All installation and service must be performed by qualified service
personnel. Read and follow all warning notices and instructions marked on the
product or included in the manual.
Product features
AutoCross (always enabled)
The AutoCross™ feature allows either straight-through (MDI) or crossover (MDI-
X) cables to be used when connecting to 100Base-TX devices, such as wireless
access point, VoIP phone, network camera, etc. AutoCross determines the
characteristics of the cable connection and automatically configures the unit to
link up, regardless of the cable configuration devices.
Automatic Link Restoration (always enabled)
Transition Networks's converters will automatically re-establish link in all
network conditions:
• Without a device reset, the converters will automatically re-establish the link
when connected to switches after a link loss.
• With Auto-Negotiation enabled, automatic link restoration allows using Auto-
Negotiation with Link Loss Notification.
• With Link Pass-Through enabled in both directions, automatic link restoration
allows using Link Loss Notification in both directions.
Auto-Negotiation (always enabled)
The Auto-Negotiation feature allows the media converter to bring up the copper
links to the highest speed and mode possible for all the attached network
devices.

Far-End Fault (always enabled)
A troubleshooting feature generally used in conjunction with Link Pass Through
to notify both end devices of a link loss. If the fiber RX signal is lost on the far
end converter, the converter will automatically generate a far-end fault signal
and send it on its TX fiber port to notify the near end converter of the fiber link
loss. Link Pass Through will then disable the copper links on both ends, alerting
both end devices of network trouble. See diagram below.
• Both end devices are notified automatically of the link loss
• Prevents loss of valuable data transmitted unknowingly over invalid link
• Allows quick diagnosis and resolution of network problem
Transition Networks’ media converters that include the FEF feature will work
with other network devices that support Far End Fault per IEEE standards.

Link Pass-Through (always enabled)
The Link Pass-Through allows the media converter to monitor both the
fiber and copper RX (receive) ports for loss of signal. In the event of a loss
of an RX signal on one media port, the media converter will automatically
disable the TX (transmit) signal of the other media port, thus, “passing
through” the link loss.
The far-end device is automatically notified of the link loss, which prevents
the loss of valuable data unknowingly transmitted over an invalid link. See
diagram below.

IMPORTANT Copper based media ports, e.g., Twisted Pair (TP) Ethernet, USB, RS232,
RS422, RS485, DS1, DS3, Video Coax, etc., are intended to be connected to intra-building
(inside plant) link segments that are not subject to lightening transients or power faults.
Copper based media ports, e.g., Twisted Pair (TP) Ethernet, USB, RS232, RS422, RS485,
DS1, DS3, Video Coax, etc., are NOT to be connected to inter-building (outside plant) link
segments that are subject to lightening transients or power faults. Failure to observe this
caution could result in damage to equipment.
MTBF is estimated using the predictability method. This method is based on MIL-
217F at 25°C ambient temperature, typical enclosure heat rise of 10°C, and
nominal operating conditions and parameters. Installation and configuration
specific MTBF estimates are available upon request. Contact Technical Support.
Troubleshooting
If the media converter fails, isolate and correct the fault by determining the
answers to the following questions and then take the indicated action:
1. Is the media converter power LED ON?
NO:
• Is the barrel connector fully inserted into the media converter?
• Is the adapter plugged into an AC outlet; if not, plug it into the outlet.
• Is the AC outlet active; if not, check the outlet’s circuit beaker?
• Contact Technical Support: 1.800.466.4526, then press "2."
YES
• Proceed to step 2.
2. Is the POE LED ON?
NO
• Is there an active (connected to anther device ) RJ-45 cable inserted
into the media converter's TX port; if not, insert the cable
accordingly.
Is the power turned ON to the other device?
• Contact Technical Support: 1.800.466.4526, then press "2."
YES
• Go to step 3.
