ABOUT THE MINIMC-GIGABIT

The MiniMc-Gigabit is a Gigabit Ethernet, miniature media converter. This device converts 1000Base-SX (multi-
mode) or LX (single-mode) fiber to 1000Base-T copper, and always operates at full-duplex. Single-strand fiber
versions are also available.
The MiniMc-Gigabit offers plug-and-play operation, including the AutoCross feature that automatically selects
between a crossover workstation or straight-through repeater hub connection, depending on the connected
device.
The MiniMc-Gigabit installs in a B+B SmartWorx IE-PowerTray/18 or can be used as a standalone media
converter. As a standalone, the MiniMc-Gigabit uses a universal external switching power cube with 100 to 240
±10% VAC input and 5VDC output.
NOTE: Some options require items that are sold separately, available from B+B SmartWorx.
NOTE: Use only the supplied B+B SmartWorx power supply. Using a non-B+B SmartWorx power source will
void the warranty.

INSTALLATION

Several MiniMc-Gigabit mdoels support single-strand fiber for operation. Since single-strand fiber
products use optics that transmit and receive on two different wavelengths, single-strand fiber
products must be deployed in pairs. The two connected products must also have the same speed
and distance capabilities.

LED OPERATION

The MiniMc-Gigabit includes two LEDs, located on the RJ45 connector LED with functions are as follows:
FX LNK
•
Glows green when a link is established on the fiber port.
TX LNK/ACT
•
Glows amber when a link is established on the copper port; blinks amber when activity is detected on the
copper port.
