  • Page 4: Introduction

    Introduction The Raven Series Fast Fiber Advanced Media & Rate Converters are standalone units that can be used alone or in a 10-slot rackmount chassis to connect networks with 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX cabling. These advanced media & rate converters extend the cabling distance of 100Base-FX network up to 2 kilometers for multi-mode fiber or 30 kilometers for single mode fiber.
  • Page 5 single fiber, which reduces half of the cabling cost. WDM converters must be installed in pairs with one 1310nm wavelength converter at one end of the single fiber cable and one 1550nm wavelength converter at the other end. The fiber cabling can extend the connectivity distance up to 20 kilometers.
  • Page 6: Features

    Features Fast Fiber Converter Modules Comply with IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3x standards. Convert between UTP cabling and Fiber-optic cabling. One RJ-45 connector, Auto-MDI/MDIX for UTP port. Support 10/100 Mbps Auto-negotiation for UTP port. Fiber cabling connectivity up to 30Km. Uses store-and-forward switching to separate two collision domains.

  • Page 9: Hardware Description

    Hardware Description Front Panel The Front Panel of the WDM Converter consists of one Single SC style single-mode connector, one RJ-45 Port (Auto MDI/MDIX), and 6 LED Indicators (UTP 100, LK/ACT, FDX/COL, Fiber LK/ACT, FDX/COL, and PWR). Figure 2-1. Front Panel for Raven Series Fast Fiber WDM Converters The Front Panel of the Fast Fiber Converter consists of one RJ-45 Port (Auto MDI/MDIX), 6 LED Indicators (UTP 100, LK/ACT, FDX, Fiber LK/ACT, FDX and PWR) and one fiber 100Base-FX Port.
  • Page 10: Ports

    Ports RJ-45 Port (Auto MDI/MDIX): The Ethernet RJ-45 will auto-sense for 10Base-T or 100Base-TX connections. Auto MDI/MDIX means that you can connect to another Switch or workstation without changing non-crossover or crossover cabling. Fast Fiber Port: The Fast Fiber port is for 100 Base-FX connections.
  • Page 11: Led Indicators

    LED Indicators There are 6 diagnostic LEDs located on the front panel of WDM Converter. They provide real-time information of system and optional status. The indicator includes Power, UTP 100, LK/ACT, FDX/COL, Fiber LK/ACT; FDX/COL. The following table provides description of the LED status and their meanings.
  • Page 12: Dip-Switches

    DIP-Switches The DIP-switches are used to configure operation mode for LLF (Link Loss Forwarding) and operation mode for the UTP and Fiber ports. The default value of each DIP-switch is OFF. S/W No Status Table 2-2. Fast Fiber Converter DIP-Switch statuses and meaning Link Loss Forwarding (LLF): Enabling LLF allows UTP link failures to be reported to the fiber side or Fiber link failures to be reported to the UTP side.

    Rear Panel The rear panel of the converter contains a power socket. This power socket accepts DC9V voltage and minimum 0.7A supplied current. DC IN Figure 2-3. Rear Panel for Raven Series Fast Fiber Converters...
  • Page 14: Installation Converter Module

    Installation Converter Module A. Remove the blank bracket by rotating thumbscrew counterclockwise. Do not discard the blank bracket. B. Open the rackmount ear kit. Each kit contains two rackmount ear pieces (with thumbscrews) and four screws. C. Attach one rackmount ear on each side of the converter using a screwdriver.
  • Page 15: Rackmount Chassis

    Rackmount Chassis A. Insert the modular converter module into the guides of the conversion system chassis by sliding it smoothly until it stops. Press firmly until the power plug in the chassis plugs into the modular converter module receptacle. Figure 3-2. Installing Gigabit Fiber Converter into Chassis Gently push the thumbscrews in and turn clockwise to tighten.
  • Page 16: Cabling

    Cabling Use four twisted-pair, Category 5 cabling for RJ-45 port connections. The cable between the converter and the link partner (switch, hub, workstation, etc.) must be less than 100 meters (328 ft.) long. Fiber segments using single-mode connector type connections must use 8/125 or 9/125 um single-mode fiber cable.
  • Page 17: Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting This section is intended to help solve some common problems encountered while using the Raven Series Fast Fiber Advanced Media & Rate Converter products. Verify that the correct power adapter (DC 9V, 0.7A) is in use. Power adapters with DC output higher than 9V will seriously damage the converter modules.
