2. MCM-W Series Installation
As a media convertor platform, installing MCM-W series is very easy and simple: all you have to do is to
plug the proper fiber/UTP cables into MCM-W series’ ports like a general Ethernet switch without any extra
configurations. However, selecting the proper physical media and applications in your network
environment is crucial when installing MCM-W series. Please see the sections down below for detailed
information regarding to physical media types and MCM-W series application.
2.1. Choices of UTP Cable and Optical fiber
2.1.1. 10GBASE-T (Copper Wire)
10GBASE-T, or IEEE 802.3an-2006, is a standard released in 2006 to provide 10 gigabit/second
connections over unshielded or shielded twisted pair cables and over distances up to 100 meters (330 ft).
10GBASE-T cable infrastructure can also be used for 1000BASE-T, allowing a gradual upgrade from
1000BASE-T, and auto-negotiation to select which speed to use.
10GBASE-T Connectors
10GBASE-T uses 650 MHz versions of the venerable IEC 60603-7 8P8C (RJ-45) connectors, which is
already widely used in Ethernet.
10GBASE-T Cables
10GBASE-T works up to 55 m (180 ft) with existing Category 6 cabling. In order to allow deployment at
the usual 100 m (330 ft), the standard uses a new partitioned Category 6a cable specification, designed
to reduce crosstalk between UTP cables.
The table down below is a reference regarding to UTP cable categories.
UTP Cable Categories References
Cat 5 Provides performance of up to 100 MHz, and was frequently used on 100 Mbps Ethernet
networks. Cat 5 may not be suitable for 1000BASE-T gigabit Ethernet.
Cat 5e Provides performance of up to 100 MHz, and is frequently used for both 100 Mbps and
Gigabit Ethernet networks.
Cat 6 Provides performance of up to 250 MHz, more than double of category 5 and 5e. It works up
to 55 m (180 ft) for 10Gbps Ethernet.
Cat 6a
Provides performance of up to 500 MHz. It is suitable for
10GBASE-T and works up to 100 m (330 ft) for 10Gbps
Ethernet. All the cables mentioned above do not have
individually- shielded pairs as the picture here, including
Cat 6a.
Cat 7 This standard specifies four individually-shielded pairs (STP) inside an overall shield.
Designed for transmission at frequencies up to 600 MHz. It has better performance than Cat
6a.

2.1.2. 10GBASE-R (Optical Fiber)
10GBASE-R is 10Gbps Ethernet connection that based on IEEE802.3ae. It uses fiber as transmission
media with different specification of fiber, connector and transceiver. MCM-W uses two standards,
10GBASE-LR and 10GBASE-SR.
10GBASE-SR
10GBASE-SR ("Short Range") uses 64B/66B encoding and 850 nm wavelength lasers. It is designed to
support short distances over deployed multi-mode fiber cabling, it has a range of between 26 meters (85
ft) and 82 meters (270 ft) depending on cable type. It also supports 300 meters (980 ft) operation over
new, 50 µm 2000 MHz⋅km OM3 multi-mode fiber (MMF).
The transmitter can be implemented with a VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) which is low
cost and low power. MMF has the advantage of having lower cost connectors than SMF (single-mode
fiber) due to its wider core.
10GBASE-SR delivers the lowest cost, lowest power and smallest form factor optical modules.
10GBASE-LR
10GBASE-LR ("Long Range") is a Long Range Optical technology delivering serialized 10 gigabit
Ethernet over a laser with 1310 nm wavelength connection on single-mode fiber via IEEE 802.3 Clause
49 64B-66B Physical Coding Sub layer (PCS) using a line rate of 10.3125.
Single-mode optical cabling is used to interconnect transceivers at a distance spaced at 10 kilometers
(6.2 mi), but it can often reach distances of up to 25 kilometers (16 mi) with no data loss.
Fabry–Pérot lasers are commonly used in 10GBASE-LR optical modules. Fabry–Pérot lasers are more
expensive than VCSELs (mentioned above) but their high power and focused beam allow efficient
coupling into the small core of single mode fiber.
Fiber Specification
Fibers which support many propagation paths or transverse modes are called multi-mode fibers (MMF).
Fibers which can only support a single mode are called single-mode fibers (SMF). Multi-mode fibers
generally have a larger core diameter, and are used for short-distance communication links and for
applications where high power must be transmitted. Single-mode fibers are used for most
communication links longer than 200 meters.
Fiber Buffer/Jacket Color Meaning
Yellow Single-mode optical fiber, long distance connection
Orange Multi-mode optical fiber, short distance connection

2.2. Connection of UTP Cable and Optical fiber
2.2.1. 10GBASE-T (Copper Wire)
10GBASE-T uses the same RJ45 connector that is the same as original 100M/1000Mbps Ethernet
network. Just plugging the RJ45 connector into the port of 10Gbps and it is ready to work. When
connected properly, the Link/ACT LED located under the RJ45 Port will be on accordingly.
2.2.2. 10GBASE-R (Optical Fiber)
Please see the figure down below for connecting the optical fiber, transceiver, and MCM-W’s SFP+ Port.

Optical Fiber
As mentioned above, there are Single-mode and Multi-mode optical fiber. Both of them can be used for
MCM-W series.
Fiber Connector
Optical fiber connector contains two ends of fibers and can attach
to SFP+ transceivers. There are two ports for one SFP+
transceiver: one fiber is for receiving and one fiber is for
transmitting. The picture here is called LC connector that can
attach to SFP+ transceiver.
Transceiver (Connector)
SFP+/XFP Transceivers can be plugged into MCM-W’s SFP+/XFP Ports.
SFP+/XFP Transceivers are active components that consume power from
MCM-W and are capable of converting signals between optical data flow and
electronic data flow.
For different transmission purpose, the component inside SFP+ form factor can
be 10BASE-LR or 10BAST-SR mode.
