Installation NOTES

All cable connections to the C/B-CF-01 MUST be
AT LEAST 7.6 meters (25 feet) in length.
To install the C/B-CF-01 series media converter:
1. Install the C/B-CF-01 in the E-MCC-1600 chassis.
NOTE: Media Converter Slide-in-Modules can be installed in any
installation slot, in any order.
• Remove Media Converter Slide-in-Module protective plate
from selected installation slot by removing two screws that
secure plate to front of E-MCC-1600. Retain one installation
screw.
• Carefully slide Media Converter Slide-in-Module into
installation slot, aligning Media Converter Slide-in-Module
with installation guides.
NOTE: Ensure that the Media Converter Slide-in-Module is firmly
seated against the backplane.
• Secure Slide-in-Module by installing retained installation
screw.
2. Connect host signal to C/B-CF-01 media converter.
NOTE: Set the configuration switch (located on the side of the media
converter) according to site requirements, using the following:
Switch 1 NOT USED
Switch 2 UP = Twisted Pair
DOWN = Coax
Twisted-pair:
• Locate or build twisted-pair cables (See specifications, page 7)
with male RJ-45 plug connectors at both cable ends.
NOTE: Install TRANSITION Networks balun part number: B-4554
between RJ-45 cable and coax connector.
• Install balun at host coax connector.
• Connect male RJ-45 plug connector at one end of twisted pair
cable to balun on host coax connector.
• Connect male RJ-45 plug connector at other end of cable to
female RJ-45 connector on B-CF-01 media converter.
Coax:
• Locate or build coaxial RG-62 cables (See specifications, page
7) with male BNC connectors at both ends.
