Safety Instructions Read these safety instructions carefully. Retain this user manual for future reference. Disconnect the equipment from all power outlets before cleaning. Use only a damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid or spray detergents. For pluggable equipment, the power outlet socket must be located near the equipment and easily accessible.
Overview The EKI-2541M/2541S is a cost-effective solution for the converting between 10/ 100Base-TX and 100Base-FX cabling, it allows you to extend the cabling distance of your 100Base-FX network up to 2 kilometers for multi-mode fiber or 30 kilometers for single-mode fiber. The Fast Fiber Converter module gives you the option to choose from the most popular fiber cabling connectors: SC multi-mode and single-mode con- nector.
Features Provides 1 x 10/100Mbps Ethernet ports with RJ-45 connector Provides 1 x SC (multi-mode & single-mode) fiber connector Supports full/half duplex flow control Supports store & forward transmission supports auto-negotiation Supports MDI/MDI-X auto-crossover Provides surge protection (EFT) 3,000 V for power line ...

Packing List 1 x EKI-2541M or EKI-2541S Industrial Ethernet to Fiber Optic Converter 2 x Wall Mounting Bracket and Screws 1 x DIN-rail Mounting Bracket and Screws 1 x EKI-2541M/2541S Startup Manual Safety Precaution Caution! IF DC voltage is supplied by an external circuit, please use a protection device on the power supply input.
In this chapter, you will be given an overview of the EKI-2541M/2541S hardware installation procedures. LED Indicators There are few LEDs display the power status and network status located on the front panel of EKI-2541M/2541S, each of them has its own specific meaning as below table.
DIP-Switch The DIP-Switch is used to configure operation mode for LFP (Link Fault Pass- Through) and operation mode for UTP/Fiber port. The default value of DIP-switch is OFF. Table 2.2: Table 2.2: EKI-2541M/S DIP-Switch Definition S/W No Status Description Enables Port/Power Alarm Disable Port/Power Alarm Enables LFP Disables LFP...
Mounting The EKI-2541M/2541S supports two mounting methods: DIN-rail & Wall. 2.4.1 Wall mounting EKI-2541M/2541S can be wall-mounted by using the included mounting kit. Then, hang on the EKI-2541M/2541S to the nails on the wall. First, use the screws included in the package to combine the EKI-2541M/2541S and metal mounting kit.
2.4.2 DIN-rail Mounting You can also mount EKI-2541M/2541S on a standard DIN-rail by below steps. The DIN-rail kit is screwed on the industrial switch when out of factory. If the DIN-rail kit is not screwed on the industrial switch, please screw the DIN-rail kit on the switch first.
Network Connection Twisted-pair segment can use unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cabling. The cable must comply with the IEEE 802.3u 100Base-TX standard for Category 5. The cable between the converter and the link partner (switch, hub, workstation, etc.) must be less than 100 meters (328 ft.) long. Fiber segment using single-mode connector type must use 9/125µm single- ...
Power Input Verify that is using the right power cord/adapter (+12~48 V ), please don’t use the power adaptor with DC output voltage higher than 48V, or it will burn this converter down. Cable Select the proper UTP/Fiber cable to construct your network. The single-mode con- verter must use single-mode fiber cable.
