• Install one end of cable to female BNC connector on host.
• Install other end of cable to female BNC connector on media
converter.
3. Connect B-CF-01 media converter near host to B-CF-01 media
converter near terminal device.
• Locate or build fiber cable that conforms to cable
specifications (See page 7) with male fiber connectors at both
ends.
• Connect one end of first fiber cable to B-CF-01 media converter
TX connector.
• Connect other end of that fiber cable to second B-CF-01 media
converter RX connector.
• Connect one end of second fiber cable to B-CF-01 media
converter RX connector.
• Connect other end of that fiber cable to B-CF-01 media
converter TX connector.
4. Connect B-CF-01 media converter near terminal device to terminal
device.

Twisted-pair:

NOTE: Install TRANSITION Networks balun part number: B-4554

Install balun at terminal device coax connector.
•
• Connect male RJ-45 plug connector on one end of cable to
female RJ-45 connector marked "UTP/STP" on media converter.
• Connect male RJ-45 plug connector at other end of cable to
balun on terminal device.
Coaxial:
• Connect male coax connector on one end of cable to female
RJ-45 connector marked "Coax" on media converter.
• Connect male coax connector at other end of cable to female
coax connector on terminal device.
5. Connect B-CF-01 media converter(s) to power.
