J/GE-CF-01

Installation

Install the Fiber Cable

1. Locate or build 1000Base-SX/LX compliant fiber cable with male, two-
stranded TX to RX connectors installed at both ends.
2. Connect the fiber cables to the J/GE-CF-01 media converter as described:
• Connect the male TX cable connector to the female TX port.
• Connect the male RX cable connector to the female RX port.
3. Connect the fiber cables to the other device (another media converter,
hub, etc.) as described:
• Connect the male TX cable connector to the female RX port.
• Connect the male RX cable connector to the female TX port.

Install the Copper Cable

NOTE: The AutoCross™ feature automatically configures the media converter
to link up when connected to 1000Base-T devices, regardless if the copper
cable is MDI (straight-through) or MDI-X (crossover).
1. Locate or build 1000Base-T compliant copper cables with male, RJ-45
connectors installed at both ends.
2. Connect the RJ-45 connector at one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port on
the J/GE-CF-01 media converter.
3. Connect the RJ-45 connector at the other end of the cable to the RJ-45
port on the other device (switch, workstation, etc.).
