About the MiniMc-Gigabit
The MiniMc-Gigabit is a Gigabit Ethernet, miniature media converter. This device
converts 1000Base-SX (multi-mode) or LX (single-mode) fiber to 1000Base-T
copper, and always operates at Full-Duplex. Single strand fiber versions are also
available.
The MiniMc-Gigabit offers plug-and-play operation, including the AutoCross
feature which automatically selects between a crossover workstation or straight-
through repeater hub connection depending on the connected device.
The MiniMc-Gigabit installs in an IMC Networks IE-PowerTray/18 or can be used
as a standalone media converter. As a standalone, the MiniMc-Gigabit uses a
universal external switching power cube with 100 - 240 ±10% V AC input and
5V DC output.
Installation Tip
Several models of the MiniMc-Gigabit 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 MiniMc-Gigabit TX/SSLX-SM1310-SC, which transmits at 1310
nm and receives at 1550 nm, to an iMcV-Gigabit TX/SSLX-SM1550-SC, which
transmits at 1550 nm and receives at 1310 nm. The two connected products
must also have the same speed and distance capabilities (i.e. both are single-
mode [20 km] or both are single-mode/PLUS [40 km]).
NOTE
Use only the supplied IMC Networks power supply. Using a non-IMC Networks
power source will void the warranty.
LED Operation
Each MiniMc-Gigabit includes two LEDs, located on the RJ45 connector LED
functions are as follows:
• FX LNK
Glows green when a link is established on the fiber port.
• TX LNK/ACT
Glows amber when a link is established on the copper port; blinks amber
when activity is detected on the copper port.
