PSE PoE 10/100BASE-TX to 100BASE-FX Media Converter 1. Specifications Standards: IEEE802.3u 10/100Base-TX, 100Base-FX, IEEE802.3af Power over Ethernet UTP Cable: Cat. 5 cable or up, up to100 meter Fiber Cable: 50/125, 62.5/125 or 100/140μm multi-mode 8.3/125, 8.7/125, 9/125 or 10/125μm single-mode PSE Power Feeding Supports: Endpoint: via TP pin 1, 2, 3, 6 LED Indicators: POWER, PoE, TP LNK/ACT, 100, FX LNK/ACT, FDX/COL, 4W, 7W, 15.
CHAPTER 2: Overview 2. Overview 2.1 Introduction IEEE802.3u 100Mbps Fast Ethernet supports two types of media, 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX, for network connection. LFP (Link Fault Pass Through) feature enhances the TP-Fiber Link integrity and conformity. Either one of TP or Fiber port is in link-fail state, the LFP converter forces the other port to be at link-disabled state. The PSE media converter complies with IEEE 802.
PSE PoE 10/100BASE-TX to 100BASE-FX Media Converter 2.4 Hardware Description Figure 2-1 shows the PSE PoE 10/100BASE-TX to 100BASE-FX Media Converter’s front panel. The LED indicators in the figure are described in Table 2-1. LED Indicators TP Port Fiber Port Figure 2-1. Front panel. Table 2-1. LED indicators.
CHAPTER 2: Overview The media converter’s rear panel is shown in Figure 2-2. Figure 2-2. Rear panel.
PSE PoE 10/100BASE-TX to 100BASE-FX Media Converter 3. Installing the Converter 3.1 Installing Instruction CAUTION Wear a grounding device to avoid damage from electrostatic discharge. Be sure that the power switch is OFF before you connect the power cord to the power source. 1. Connect the PSE media converter to an AC power source. 2. Install the TP media cable to the IEEE 802.3af PD device. (See Figure 3-1) NOTE This converter can work as a pure converter that connects to the non-PoE converter. 3.

CHAPTER 3: Installing the Converter 3.3 Cable Connection Parameter 100Base-X network allows 512-bit time delay between any two node-stations in a collision domain. Switch-based Media Converter breaks up TP and Fiber segments’ collision domain to extend the cabling distance. TP Cable Limitations: Cat.
PSE PoE 10/100BASE-TX to 100BASE-FX Media Converter 4. Link Fault Pass Through This media converter supports link fault pass through (LFP) in TX/FX converter application. Link status on one port is propagated to the other port to notice the remote nodes. If 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.
CHAPTER 4: Link Fault Pass Through Ethernet Switch LFP TP Cable Ethernet Switch B C LFP Remote Station A TP Cable Figure 4-3 The status as Fiber Cable B or C is broken Warning The LFP ( Link Fault Pass Through) function works only when both two converters own this capability in pairs. Furthermore, both LFP converters should be supplied only by the same manufacturer/vender. The connection coming from LFP converters with odd models or non-LFP converters will cease the LFP function.
