Introduce The Fast Fiber Converter Module (Auto MDI/MDIX) is a cost-effective solution for the converting between 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX cabling, It allows you to extend the cabling distance of your 100Base-FX network up to 2 kilometers for multi-mode fiber or 30 kilometers for single-mode fiber. The Fast Fiber Converters module provides you with one Fiber connector for your fiber optic cable (SC) and one Ethernet RJ-45 port (Auto MDI/MDIX) for your 100BaseTX copper cable connection.
Features Fast Fiber Converter Module Comply with IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3x standards. Convert between UTP cabling and Fiber-optic cabling. One RJ-45 connector, Auto-MDI/MDIX for UTP port. Support 10/100 Mbps Auto-negotiation for UTP port. Fiber cabling connectivity up to 30Km. Store-and-forward switching architecture. One fiber connector (SC) for 100Base-FX. 4DIP-switches to set the operation mode and Link- Lost-Forwarding function.
6 LEDs for Per port: 100, Link/Activity, Full/Collision, Per Unit: Power. External DC power adapter 12V/1A. Two types of module: Stand-alone and mounted in converter chassis. FCC Class A, CE Package Contents Beware of which type of converter module that you have purchased. And, please refer to the package content list below to verify them against the checklist. Stand-alone converter module package contains following items.
Hardware Description Fast Fiber Converter Module dimension (L x W x H) is : 119mm x 85mm x 26mm Front Panel The Front Panel of the Fast Fiber Converter Module consists of one RJ-45 Port (Auto MDI/MDIX), 6 LED Indicators (UTP 100, LK/ACT, FDX/COL, Fiber LK/ACT, FDX/COL and PWR) and one fiber 100Base-FX Port.

Auto MDI/MDIX means that you can connect to another Switch or workstation without changing non-crossover or crossover cabling. Fiber Port: This port is for 100 Base-FX connection.
status and their meanings. LED Status Meaning PWR Green Power on Green 100Mbps UTP Speed OFF 10 Mbps UTP Speed Green The unit is linking with it’s link partner. 100 LK/ACT (UTP) LK/ACT Blinks from UTP devices. Off No device attached Green The unit is linking with it’s link partner. Blinks (Fiber) Off Orange FDX/COL The unit is transmitting or receiving packets The unit is transmitting or receiving packets from FX devices.
DIP-switch The DIP-switch is used to configure operation mode for LLF (Link Lost Forwarding) and operation mode for UTP/Fiber port. The default value of DIPswitch is OFF.
Rear Panel The rear panel contains a power socket. This power socket accepts DC12V voltage and minimum 1A supplied current.
Installing Converters module This installation is only for mounted in converter chassis converter module. You can follow the steps below to install converter module. A、 Remove the blank bracket by rotating thumbscrew counterclockwise. Put the blank bracket aside, but don’t discard blanket bracket. B、 Open the rack mount ear kit. The kit contains two-rack mount ear (with thumbscrew) and four screws.
Cabling Twisted-pair segment can be use unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cabling. The cable must comply with the IEEE 802.3u 100Base TX standard for Category 5. The cable between the converter and the link partner (switch, hub, workstation, etc.) must be less than 100 meters (328 ft.) long. Fiber segment using single-mode connector type must use 9/125 μm single-mode fiber cable. You can connect two devices in the distance of 30 Kilometers in full duplex operation.
Troubles shooting Check the configuration DIP-switch. It must be setting in the same operation mode with the link partner. Select the proper UTP/Fiber cable to construct your network. The single-mode converter must use single-mode fiber cable. Please check that you are using the right cable.
