Install the Fiber Cable

The SSEFE10xx-10x is designed to be installed in pairs over the fiber link,
where one is the local media converter and the other is the remote.
1. Locate or build fiber-optic cable with male, two-stranded TX to RX
connectors installed at both ends.
2. Connect the fiber cables to the local SSEFE10xx-10x media converter as
described:
• Connect the male TX cable connector the female TX port.
• Connect the male RX cable connector to the female RX port.
3. Connect the fiber cables to the remote SSEFE10xx-10x media converter
as described:
• Connect the male TX cable connector the female RX port.
• Connect the male RX cable connector to the female TX port.
Connect the fiber cable

Install the Copper Cable

NOTE: The MDI (straight-through) or MDI-X (crossover) cable connection is
configured automatically, according to the network conditions.
1. Locate or build 10/100Base-TX copper cables with male, RJ-45
connectors installed at both ends.
2. Connect the RJ-45 connector at one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port on
the SSEFE10xx-10x media converter.
3. Connect the RJ-45 connector at the other end of the cable to the RJ-45
port on the other device (switch, workstation, etc.).

Operation

Status LEDs

Use the status LEDs to monitor the SSEFE10xx-10x media converter operation in
the network.
PWR Power On = Connection to the external AC or DC power.
F-ACT Fiber Activity Blinking = Data reception on the fiber link.
F-100 Fiber Speed On = Fiber link at 100 Mb/s.
F-10 Fiber Speed On = Fiber link at 10 Mb/s.
TP-ACT Copper Activity Blinking = Data reception on the twisted-pair copper
link.
TP-100 Copper Speed On = Copper link at 100 Mb/s.
TP-10 Copper Speed On = Copper link at 10 Mb/s.

AutoCross™
The AutoCross feature allows either straight-through (MDI) or crossover (MDI-X)
cables to be used when connecting to devices, such as hubs, transceivers, or
network interface cards (NICs). AutoCross determines the characteristics of the
cable connection and automatically configures the unit to link up, regardless of
the cable configuration.
NOTE: The SSEFE10xx-10x series media converter does NOT support rate
conversion between 10Mb/s and 100Mb/s network devices.
