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-

mode cable. You can connect two devices in the distance of 30 kilometers in
full-duplex operation. For half-duplex operation, the recommended maximum
distance is 412 meters (1,352 ft.).
Fiber segment using multi-mode connector type must use 50 or 62.5/125μm

multi-mode fiber cable. You can connect two devices up to a 2-kilometer (6,562
ft.) distance.

Power Connection

The EKI-2541M/2541S supports dual +12 ~ 48 V
output.
You can connect an alarm indicator, buzzer or other signaling equipment through the
relay output. The relay opens if power input 1 or 2 fails ("Open" means if you connect
relay output with an LED, the light would be off).
