LPT and RFD function
The LPT (Link Pass-through) allows the media converter to monitor both the fiber
and copper RX ports for loss of signal. In case of a loss of RX signal on one media
port, the converter will automatically disable the TX signal to the other media port,
thus passing through the link fault. RFD (Remote Fault Detect) lets the converter
stop sending link pulse to the link partner once a loss of the fiber RX signal is
encountered. Then the link partner will synchronously stop sending data. FEF
prevents loss of valuable data transmitted over invalid link. Combining LPT and FEF
troubleshooting features of SGPAT10xx-100, both end devices can be notified of a
loss of fiber link.
When link fault pass through function is enabled, link status on TX port will inform
the FX port of the same device and vice versa. From the link fault pass through
procedure illustrates in the figure below, if link fail happens on TX port (1), the local
FX port sends non-idle pattern to notice the remote FX port (2). The remote FX port
then forces its TX port to link failed after receiving the non-idle pattern (4). In other
words, this mechanism will alert the link fault status of local TX port to the remote
converter’s TX port, and the link status of the remote TX port will become off. Link
status LED will also be off for both SGPAT10xx-100 and its link partner.
PoE Technology
Power over Ethernet or PoE technology describes a system to transfer electrical
power, along with data, to remote devices over standard twisted-pair cable in an
Ethernet network. This technology is useful for powering IP telephones, wireless
LAN access points, network cameras, remote network switches, embedded
computers, and other appliances where it would be inconvenient, expensive (mains
wiring must often be done by qualified and/or licensed electricians for legal or
insurance reasons) or infeasible to supply power separately. It doesn't require
modification of existing Ethernet cabling infrastructure.
IEEE 802.3af (Power over Ethernet), the specification allows the powering device to
use a voltage between 44–57 VDC, though the nominal voltage is 48V, over two of
the four available pairs on a Cat.3/Cat.5e cable with a selectable current of 10–350
mA subject to a maximum load power of 15.40W. Only about 12.95W are available
after counting cable losses, and most switched power supplies will lose another 10–
25% of the available power.

33515 Rev. A http://www.transition.com/
IEEE 802.3at (Max. PoE output power consumption up to 30W) is an updated
standard in progress referred to as PoE plus or 802.3at introduces increases
available power. Numerous non-standard schemes had been used prior to PoE
standardization to provide Power over Ethernet cabling. Some are still in active use.
The standard describes two types of devices:
1. Power Sourcing Equipment(PSE) and Powered Devices(PD), and
2. PSE provides power to the PD.
The PoE PSE+ converter may auto-detect PD and provide power via one of two
valid four-wire connections. In each four-wire connection, the two conductors
associated with a pair each carry the same nominal current in both magnitude and
polarity. Refer to following figure in conjunction with PSE pinout alternative table,
illustrates the valid alternatives.

Cabling Requirements
To help ensure a successful installation and keep the network performance good,
please take care on the cabling requirement. Cables with worse specification will
render the LAN to work poorly.
Cabling Requirements for TP
The grade of the cable must be Cat. 5e with a maximum length of 100 meters.
Cabling Requirements for FX
1000Base-SX/LX network only support full-duplex mode. The Switch-based Media
Converter breaks up TP and Fiber segments’ collision domain to extend the cabling
distance.

LPT (Link Pass Through) Applications
The Converter model of LPT (link pass through) in TX/FX converter application is
controlled by the software and instantly take effect. Link status on one port is
propagated to the other port to notice the remote nodes. If the TP port is unplugged,
this converter stops transmission on fiber port. This causes the remote fiber node
link to fail. LED shows the link failure on both TP and fiber ports. If the fiber link
fails, this converter restarts auto-negotiation on TP port but always stays in the link
failure state. This causes the remote TP node link to fail. The LED also shows the
link failure on both the TP and fiber ports. See Fig. 4-1 and 4-4 below for the
normal status when the link succeeds. See Fig. 4-2 thru Fig.4-6 for the error status
when TP Cable A, Fiber Cable B, or Fiber Cable C fails to connect.
Note: The Link through (LPT) function only takes effect with the LPT DIP switch in
the ‘Enable’ position.
The SGPAT10xx-100 can support the following two LPT typical applications:
1. Converter to Converter in pairs
Fig. 4-1: Normal status via LPT converter
Fig. 4-2: The status as TP Cable A or D is broken
Fig. 4-3: The status as Fiber Cable B or C is broken
