About the IE-Giga-MiniMc

The IE-Giga-MiniMc is a 10/100/1000 Auto Negotiating switching miniature media

converter. The fiber port always operates at 1000 Mbps Full Duplex; the copper port

Auto Negotiates the connected device’s speed and duplex mode: 10/100/1000 Mbps

Half Duplex; or 10 /100/1000 Mbps Full Duplex (including Flow Control). The IE-

Giga-MiniMc supports jumbo packets up to 1632 bytes.

The IE represents the unit’s use as an Industrial Ethernet device, which allows for

extended temperature operation of -35° to 70° C (0°C to 50°C when using the

included AC adapter).

The IE-Giga-MiniMc converter offers plug-and-play operation, including the

AutoCross feature which automatically selects between a crossover workstation and

straight-through repeater hub connection depending on the connected device.

The IE-Giga-MiniMc can use either the included IMC Networks universal, external

power adapter with 100 to 240 ±10% V AC input or can be wired directly to the 7-

50 V DC terminal block (for extended temperature configuration). There is an

optional IE-PowerTray/18 in which up to 18 IE-Giga-MiniMcs can be installed.

Installing the IE-Giga-MiniMc

IE-Giga-MiniMc installs virtually anywhere: as a standalone, table-top device, on a

DIN rail, or an IMC Networks PowerTray/18. As a standalone device, the end user

can install IE-Giga-MiniMc in locations with extremely limited space. Also included

are Velcro strips to attach the device to most surfaces.

Installation Tip

Several models of the IE-Giga-MiniMc support single-strand fiber for operation. Since

single-strand fiber products use optics that transmit and receive on two different

wavelengths, single-strand fiber products must be deployed in pairs. For example,

connect an IE-Giga-MiniMc, TX/SSLX-SM1310-SC (which has 1310 xmt and 1550 rcv) to a

product which has 1550 xmt and 1310 rcv, e.g. iMcV-Gigabit, TX/SSLX-SM1550-SC. The

two connected products must also have the same speed and distance capabilities (i.e.

both are single-mode [20km] or both are single/PLUS [40km]).
