Introduce The Giga Fiber Converter has two types of module package; one is stand alone converter module. And another one is mounted in converter chassis converter module. The Giga Fiber Converter is a cost- effective solution for the converting 10/100/1000Base-TX (Auto MDI/MDIX) and pure 1000 Base-T to 1000Base-FX cabling.

Package Contents Beware of which type of converter module that you have purchased. And, please refer to the package content list below to verify them against the checklist. Stand-alone converter module package contains following items. The Giga Fiber Converter AC-DC Power Adapter User Guide Rack mount ear (only for converter chassis) Compare the contents of your Converter with the standard checklist above.
Front Panel 10/100/1000Base-T to 1000Base-FX converter module The Front Panel of the 10/100/1000Base-T to 1000Base-FX converter module consists of one Giga Fiber port, one copper Port (Auto MDI/MDIX), and 6 LED Indicators (SPD, LK/ACT, FDX, Fiber LK/ACT, FDX/COL, and PWR). (1) RJ-45 Port (3) DIP-Switch (2) LED...
Ports Copper Port (Auto MDI/MDIX) of 10/100/1000Base-T to 1000Base-FX converter module: The Ethernet ports will auto-sense for 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, or 1000Base-T connections. Auto MDI/MDIX means that you can connect to another Switch or workstation without changing non-crossover or crossover cabling. Fiber Port: This port is for 1000Base-FX connections.

And TP port should be forced at 1000M in this application. When DIP-Switch is in Switch Converter mode (off), the converter function is same as Switch Hub. [Note] a) Please don’t change the DIP-switch setting when copper or fiber port is transmitting or receiving data.
Converters module Installation This installation is only for mounted in converter chassis converter module. You can follow the steps below to install modular converters. A. Remove the blank bracket by rotating thumbscrew counterclockwise. Put the blank bracket aside, but don’t discard blanket bracket. B.
Cabling Using four twisted-pair, Category 5e cabling for copper port connection. The cable between the converter and the link partner (switch, hub, workstation, etc.) must be less than 100 meters (328 ft.) long. Fiber segment using single-mode connector type must use 9/125 μm single-mode fiber cable.
Troubles shooting Check the configuration DIP-switch. It must be setting in the same operation mode with the link partner. Select the proper Copper/Fiber cable to construct your network. The single-mode converter must use single-mode fiber cable. Please check that you are using the right cable.
