KC-10BM
DOC. 981103-KC10BM-K Rev.1
P/N: 750-0119-001
General Description
The KC-10BM Ethernet media converter is designed to be
a connection interface between a 10BASE-T Ethernet UTP
cable and a 10BASE2 RG-58 coaxial cable. It features two
RJ-45 connectors and a BNC connector.
Specifications
Standard : IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T, 10BASE2
10BASE-T RJ-45 Connector
Two RJ-45 connectors are provided and selectable for
connecting to a UTP cable. The connector labeled "II" is a
standard MDI type jack and the "X" connector is a MDI-X
type jack, which provides internal crossover function. The
following table illustrates the pin assignments:

Installation
1. Install the media converter with the DC power adapter
provided. ( +12VDC, 500mA)
2. Connect the power adapter cable to the media con-
verter before connecting the adapter to the AC outlet.
Making UTP Connection
When using a straight-through UTP cable for the
connection, make sure "MDI-X jack to MDI jack" rule is
Tx+
followed. Use "X" connector if the jack type of the remote
Tx-
device is MDI jack. Use "II" connector if the jack type of
Rx+
the remote device is MDI-X jack.

The following examples show how to connect the
converter to a 10BASE-T Ethernet hub via straight-
through UTP cable.
