About IE–ModeConverter The IE–ModeConverter is a pure mode converter that converts any fiber optics type to any other fiber optics type. This product is a Protocol independent converter and is not intended for applications that require retiming or any Layer 2 functions. The IE–ModeConverter supports extended temperature operation. The IE–ModeConverter requires two small form-factor (SFP) modules (sold separately), which provide greater fiber flexibility in the network environment.
Installing the IE–ModeConverter The IE–ModeConverter installs anywhere as a standalone, table-top device or on a DIN rail. As a standalone device, install it in locations with limited space. If multiple connections are required, use an IE-PowerTray/18 enclosure, (sold separately). The tray allows for 18 conversions in a 1.5 rack unit of space. The units can also be powered by daisy-chaining DC power (refer to Cascading DC Power).
Powering the IE–ModeConverter The IE–ModeConverter requires an external DC power source and has three powering options: • • • • • Universal AC power adapter with country specific clip (not included with module only version). User supplied LPS DC power via a four-position DC power block. Power from an IE- PowerTray/18.
Cascading DC Power If installing multiple IE–ModeConverters on a DIN rail, you can use one DC input source and then cascade from one DC terminal block to the next, until reaching the maximum electrical current available. LED Operation The IE–ModeConverter contains four status LED indicators. Each LED is dual color and has three states: off, red, or green. A loss of signal on one SFP causes the TX of the other SFP to turn off. This action does not activate the red TX Fault LED.
DC Power Supply Precautions The following precautions must be observed when installing the chassis model with an internal DC power supply. 1. Check nameplate ratings to ensure there is no overloading of supply circuits that could effect overcurrent protection and supply wiring. 2. In addition, the following must be observed: a. Connect the equipment to a 35 to 50 VDC power source that is electrically isolated from the alternating current source.
Specifications Input Specifications AC Wall Adapter 100 to 240 ±10% VAC input, 5 VDC output, 2A max. DC terminal +7 VDC to +50 VDC @ 2.5 watts. Actual current consumption may vary depending on the type of SFP modules installed. When not using the supplied AC/DC converter the externally supplied DC power must be provided from a LPS source 5 VDC Spec 500mA Please note that the laptop or PC USB ports must be 2.0 or greater to provide sufficient power to the unit.
1. Use fiber patch cords (or connectors, if you terminate your own fiber) only from a reputable supplier; low-quality components can cause many hard-to-diagnose problems in an installation. 2. Dust caps are installed at IMC Networks to ensure factory-clean optical devices. These protective caps should not be removed until the moment of connecting the fiber cable to the device. Should it be necessary to disconnect the fiber device, reinstall the protective dust caps. 3.
