Copper Cable and Connector
Twisted pair connection requires two active pairs configured as straight through.
The two active pairs in an Ethernet™ network are pins 1 & 2 and pins 3 & 6. Use
only dedicated wire pairs (such as blue/white & white/blue, orange/white &
white/orange) for the active pairs.
Category 3 or better twisted-pair copper wire is required. Either shielded twisted-
pair (STP) or unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) can be used. DO NOT USE FLAT OR
SILVER SATIN WIRE.
INSTALLATION
Install Slide-In-Module in E-MCC-1600 Chassis
NOTE: Media Converter Slide-in-Modules can be installed in any installation
slot, in any order.
•
Remove Media Converter Slide-in-Module protective plate from selected
installation slot by removing two (2) screws that secure plate to front of
E-MCC-1600 chassis.
•
Carefully slide Media Converter Slide-in-Module into installation slot,
aligning Media Converter Slide-in-Module with installation guides.
NOTE: Ensure that the Media Converter Slide-in-Module is firmly seated
against the backplane.
•
Secure Slide-in-Module by securing panel fastener screw attached to
Slide-in-Module to E-MCC-1600 chassis.
Install Cable
NOTE: See pages 6 and 7 for cable specifications and configurations.
COPPER
EITHER STRAIGHT-THROUGH OR CROSSOVER CABLE CAN BE USED
BETWEEN THE MEDIA CONVERTER AND A HUB, TERMINAL DEVICE,
TRANSCEIVER, SWITCH, OR NETWORK INTERFACE CARD (NIC).
•
Locate or build 10BASE-T-compliant cables with either straight-
through or crossover configuration and with male RJ-45 plug
connectors at both ends.
•
Connect male RJ-45 plug connector at one end of cable to media
converter RJ-45 jack connector.
•
Connect male RJ-45 plug connector at other end of cable to
10BASE-T hub, terminal device, transceiver, switch, or network
interface card (NIC) RJ-45 jack connector.
FIBER
•
Locate or build 10BASE-FL-compliant fiber cable with male two-
stranded TX to RX connectors at both ends.
•
Connect male TX and RX cable connectors at one end of cable to
TX and RX female connectors, respectively, on media converter.
•
Connect male TX and RX cable connectors at other end of cable
to RX and TX connectors of 802.3 compliant fiber device
