Installation -- continued
Install the coax cable
1. Locate or build 10Base-2 compliant coax cable with female, BNC
connectors installed at both ends.
2. Connect the BNC cable connector at one end of the cable to the BNC port
on the media converter.
3. Connect the BNC cable connector at the other end of the cable to the BNC
port on the 10Base-2 compliant device.
CAUTION: Ensure that the 10Base-2 coax cables are terminated properly at
both ends. In a coax thinnet installation, terminate the first and last device in the
daisy-chain with a 50
Ω
terminator. Also, ensure that the 10Base-2 segment is
grounded to earth ground at a single point. Failure to observe this caution will
cause data transfer failures.
Connect the coax cable
to the first media
converter as shown.

Install the 10Base-T cable
CAUTION: Set the MDI/MDI-X switch
(located on the side of the converter)
to
MDI-X
(default)
when connecting the J/E-CX-TBT-02 to a hub, switch, or router.
Set the switch to MDI when connecting to a terminal, transceiver, or NIC. Failure
to observe this caution will cause loss of data.
1. Locate or build 10Base-T compliant copper cables with male, RJ-45
connectors installed at both ends.
2. Connect the RJ-45 connector at one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port on the
media converter, as shown below.
3. Connect the RJ-45 connector at the other end of the cable to the RJ-45 port on
the 10Base-T compliant device, as shown below.
