Perle 10/100/1000 Ethernet Extended Temperature Media Converter

Installation Guide

Installing the Simplex Fiber Cable

1. Locate a 1000Base-X compliant simplex (1 strand) fiber cable

with appropriate connectors. Ensure that the TX wavelength

matches the RX wavelength at the other end and the RX

wavelength matches the TX wavelength at the other end.

2. Connect the fiber cable from one media converter to the other

media converter/switch/fiber device.

Installing the Copper Cable

1. Locate 10/100/1000Base-T compliant copper cables with the

appropriate connectors.

2. Connect the RJ-45 cable between the Perle media converter

and the device.

Note: The Perle media converter supports Auto-MDIX which

allows connection of a straight-through or cross-over Ethernet

cable. See Auto-MDIX Jumper Settings in this guide for jumper

positions.

Grounding the Media Converter

If your installation requires additional grounding this procedure can

be followed.

Grounding the chassis requires the following items:

• One grounding lug (not provided).

• Grounding wire 12 to 18 AWG (not provided).

• Cross-head screwdriver (not provided).

Note: For your safety, when installing this equipment, always

ensure that the chassis ground connection is installed first and

disconnected last.
