The MC100FX-SC2-A media converter comes with a built-in multimode fiber transceiver module with SC connector that can be used for distances of up to 2km. The MC100FX-SC30-A media converter comes with a built-in single-mode fiber transceiver module with SC connector that can be used for distances of up to 30km. Use the LEDs to quickly check the status and the DIP switches to set the transmission settings and Link Fault Signaling. 1 MC100FX-SC2/30-A User's Guide Key Features Each media converter has the following key features: · Automatic MDI/MDI-X selection on RJ-45 port · Link Fault Signaling · Store-and-forward at full-wire speed · Auto-negotiation, NWay support · Half / Full duplex mode selection · Remote and local Loop-back Testing via DIP switch · Extends distances to up to 2km (6600 feet) with multi-mode fiber and up to 30km (99000 feet) with long-haul single-mode fiber · Compatible with other 10Base-T & 100Base-TX /FX devices · FCC Class A & CE approved 2 MC100FX-SC2/30-A User's Guide Chapter 2 Applications To effectively expand a Fast Ethernet network, position two converters back-to-back as illustrated. Application Diagram I In the next figure, the converter is functioning as a high-speed bridge between switches, creating increased capacity for each user (node) on the local area network. Switch CONVERTER CONVERTER Switch Multi-mode 2Km Single Mode 30Km Application Diagram II In the next figure, the converter is functioning as a server aggregation for an enterprise configuration. It is providing a 100Mbps full-duplex link to workgroups of 10/100 switches located on separate floors within a single building.

Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation from and adequate ventilation around the device. Do not place heavy objects on the media converter. Front Panel The front panel consists of an RJ-45 port for 100 Mbps UTP connections, LED indicators, and a built-in fiber transceiver with SC connector. MC100FX-SC2-A MC100FX-SC30-A 5 MC100FX-SC2/30-A User's Guide 100Base-TX port The 10/100BASE-TX port supports network speeds of either 10Mbps or 100Mbps, and can operate in half- and full-duplex transfer modes. This port also offers automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection that gives the device true "plug-n-play" capability ­ just plug the network cable into the port and the port will adjust according to the end-node device automatically. The RJ-45 connector is suitable for UTP cable of Category 3, 4, 5 or better. 100Base-FX port The 100BASE-FX port has a fiber Fast Ethernet link to your network device. Compliant with IEEE 802. 3u, this port can transmits data at 100Mbps in full duplex mode across distances of up to 2km over multi-mode fiber-optic cable, and 30km over single-mode fiber-optic cable. The fiber port has SC fiber connectors. LED Indicators This Converter has LED indicators located at the front of the device. The LEDs have been designed to give at-a-glance readings of different conditions and provides `real-time' connectivity information. [. . . ] Use DIP switch 3 to manually select between 10Mbps or 100Mbps speeds. Set NWay DIP switch to OFF position when connecting to an auto-sensing device that only supports 10/100Mbps detection. Some older network switches only support the auto-sensing of speed, and NOT auto-detection of speed and duplex mode (auto-negotiation). Important In order to configure DIP switches 2 (duplex mode) and 3 (speed), you must set DIP switch 1 (NWay) to the OFF position 10 MC100FX-SC2/30-A User's Guide Note: If you experience the following problems, please check if the NWay switch is properly set: The LNK (link) LED is not lit and the connection cannot be established The LNK LED is lit and the connection is good, but cannot transmit or receive data 11 MC100FX-SC2/30-A User's Guide Chapter 4 Specifications ITEM Ethernet and Fiber Standards Fiber SPECIFICATION IEEE 802. 3 (10BASE-T Ethernet), IEEE 802. 3u (100BASE-TX/FX Fast Ethernet), IEEE 802. 3x (Flow Control and Back pressure) Transceiver with SC connector Wavelength 1310nm (multi-mode), 1310nm (single-mode) Fiber Distance Multi-mode Fiber (2km) Single-mode Fiber (30km) CAT-5 (100Mbps) unshielded twisted pair cable.
