Hardened Media Converter Preface This hardened media converter provides an affordable solution for rugged and outdoor environment, transportation road-side cabinet, industrial floor shop, multitenant dwellings or Fiber To The Home (FTTH) applications. Capable of operating at temperature extremes of -40°C to +75°C, this is the media converter of choice for harsh environments constrained by space.
Hardened Media Converter Introduction The media converter provides one channel for media conversion between 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX with the link-fault-pass-through function. This hardened fiber optic solution is perfectly fitted in the industrial applications or rugged environment. Product Overview Product Features Meets NEMA TS1/TS2 Environmental requirements: temperature, shock, and vibration for traffic control equipment.
Hardened Media Converter Operating voltage and Max. current consumption: 0.36A @ 12VDC, 0.18A @ 24VDC, 0.09A @ 48VDC. Power consumption: 4.32W Max. Power Supply: Redundant DC Terminal Block power inputs or 12VDC DC JACK with 100-240VAC external power supply. Field Wiring Terminal: Use Copper Conductors Only, 60/75℃, 12-24 AWG torque value 7 lb-in.
Hardened Media Converter One-Channel Media Converter Ports The Converter provides one TX port and one FX port. For the FX port, it provides options of Multi-mode fiber using SC or ST connector or Single-mode fiber using SC or ST connector or WDM fiber using single SC connector For the TX port, it uses RJ-45 connector, auto-MDIX, and auto negotiates 10/100Mbps and full/half-duplex.
Hardened Media Converter Toggle Pin 3 to position 0 to force the TX port at the speed of 100Mbps. Or toggle Pin 3 to position 1 for 10Mbps speed. Toggle Pin 4 to position 0 to force the TX port at full duplex mode. Or toggle Pin 4 to position 1 for half duplex mode.
Hardened Media Converter Link-Fault-Pass-Through Connect the FX ports of two Media Converter A and B through the fiber cable. Link Fault of the FX port: A Link Fault condition will be sensed on the TX port whenever the media converter detects a Link Fault condition on the FX port. Thus, the 100, LNK/ACT, and FDX/COL LEDs of the media converter would be off.
Hardened Media Converter Installation This chapter gives step-by-step installation instructions for the Converter. Selecting a Site for the Equipment As with any electric device, you should place the equipment where it will not be subjected to extreme temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic interference.
Hardened Media Converter Connecting to Power Redundant DC Terminal Block Power Inputs or 12VDC DC Jack: 12VDC DC Jack Step 1: Connect the supplied AC to DC power adapter to the receptacle on the topside of the media converter. Step 2: Connect the power cord to the AC to DC power adapter and attach the plug into a standard AC outlet with the appropriate AC voltage.

Hardened Media Converter Redundant DC Terminal Block Power Inputs There are two pairs of power inputs can be used to power up this device. You need to have two power inputs connected to run the media converter, but the FAULT LED indicator will light up to remind that the power redundant system functions abnormal in case either PWR1 or PWR2 is dead.
