Gigabit Ethernet

Fiber Link Card System

10/100/1000M ETHERNET

Introduction

The RLH 10/100/1000 Ethernet Fiber Link Card system

converts a copper 10Base-T or 100/1000Base-TX to a

1000Base-SX/LX fiber optic transmission signal of either

multimode or single-mode. The cards transmit the data signals

over fiber optic cable which allow for network extension over

long distances, and provide electrical isolation between both

ends of the network.

The Ethernet Fiber Link Card may be used as a system, with a

card at each end, or the fiber optic cable may be connected

directly to any 1000Base-SX/LX compatible device.

This hardened, rugged system is covered by our Exclusive

Unconditional Lifetime Warranty.

Key Features

• Ideal for critical, high voltage, remote or un-manned

locations that must remain operating 24/7/365

• Compatibility with IEEE 802.3/AB

• RJ45 UTP port with 10/100/1000 auto-negotiation

• Extends network span up to 1,804 feet (550 m) on multimode,

and up to 74 miles (120km) on single-mode ﬁber

• Convenient LED status indicators

• Link alarm function for status monitoring

• Dual and Single (bi-directional) ﬁber models available

• Operating temperature of 32°F to 122°F

(0°C to +50°C) environments

• Standard RLH Fiber Link Card form factor

•

General Safety Practices Intended Audience This guide is intended for use by knowledgeable telco/network installation, operation and repair personnel. Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information in this guide is accurate. However, due to constant product improvement, specifications and information contained in this document are subject to change without notice.

Guidelines for handling terminated fiber cable • Do not bend fiber cable sharply. Use gradual and smooth bends to avoid damaging glass fiber. • Keep dust caps on fiber optic connectors at all times when disconnected. • Do not remove dust caps from unused fiber. • Keep fiber ends and fiber connectors clean and free from dust, dirt and debris. Contamination will cause signal loss. • Do not touch fiber ends.
PAGE 4
Typical Ethernet System Diagram Installation Prior to installation: • • • Check for shipping damage Check the contents to ensure correct model and fiber type Have a clean, dry installation environment ready Required for installation: • • 24-56VDC (3W minimum) power source RLH card housing Measure the DC voltage of the source power to ensure that it is 24-56VDC (3W minimum). All electrical and fiber optic connection are made directly onto the card.
