General Description KC-200TF Fast Ethernet media converter series are designed to convert a 100BASE-TX signal to a 100BASE-FX signal. It is used to extend the connection distance between two Fast Ethernet Twisted-pair devices via fiber cable transparently with no perfor- mance degradation.
Connectors & Cables 100BASE-TX RJ-45 Connectors (UTP Port) One RJ-45 connector is provided on the converter for 100BASE- TX connection. For easy connection to any device using standard straight-through UTP cable, a push button is available to set the crossover function for the RJ-45.
Fiber Optic Connector (Fiber Port) The series provides different types of fiber connectors for different applications. The connectors include ST, SC, MT-RJ and VF-45 and are shown as follows: Fiber Cables The wavelength used is 1310nm. The series also support MM (multimode) fiber cables and SM (single mode) fiber cables.
Optical Specifications The following table lists the fiber connectors and the related opti- cal specifications supported by each converter model: Model Connector Optical power Sensitivity KC-200TF/T MM ST -20 ~ -14dBm -31dBm KC-200TF/C MM SC -20 ~ -14dBm -31dBm KC-200TF/JM MM MT-RJ -20 ~ -14dBm -31dBm...
Installation Installing Power Adapter 1.Install the media converter with the AC power adapter provided. ( +7.5VDC, 1A min.) 2.Connect the power adapter cable to the media converter before connecting the adapter to the AC outlet. -10-...
Making Network Connections The converters serve as a conversion path between two Fast Eth- ernet devices. To both devices, the conversion is transparent. The connection could be one of the following configurations: Important rule: When a connection is established, make sure the devices located at both ends of the path are configured and operated using the same duplex mode and the maximum distance must comply with IEEE 802.3u specifications.
Interpreting LED Indicators The LED labeled "UTP" is used to indicate the status of the UTP port and the LED labeled "FX" is for Fiber port. Status State Interpretation POWER Power Converter is on. Converter is off. UTP port link The UTP link is ok.
