Fast Ethernet Media
Converter, Model 506502, 506519 or 506526; or Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter,
Model 506533.
Media converters connect two
Ethernet networks over a longer
distance using ber optic cable.
connections
Twisted Pair – RJ45
Connect the UTP port of the media converter to an RJ45 port on the network; e.g., to
an Ethernet switch. Cat5e or better cabling is recommended. Models 506502, 506519
and 506526 can be connected to 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps ports. The integrated auto-
negotiation feature ensures that the link is established at the best possible speed. The
Gigabit Media Converter (model 506533) can only be connected to a 1000 Mbps
Gigabit Ethernet port, however.
Fiber Optic
As shown above, two ber optic cables need to be connected between two ideally
identical media converters. Make a connection from Media Converter 1 TX to Media
Converter 2 RX, and from Media Converter 1 RX to Media Converter 2 TX. Maximum
length and ber cable specication depend on the model. (See Specications.)
power
Plug the power adapter into the 5 V DC input jack on the media converter, then con-
nect it to a regular power outlet (90 – 265 V, 50/60 Hz). Only use the included power
adapter or one with matching specications (output of 5 V DC, at least 1 A).
LeDs (Fa s t Et h E r n E t Mo d E l s : 506502, 506519, 506526)
PWR — The power adapter is
connected when lit.
100M — 100 Mbps link on the
twisted pair connection when lit;
10 Mbps link or no link if unlit.
Link/Act (TP = RJ45; FP = Fiber) —
Active link when lit; data trac when ashing; no active network link when unlit.
FDX/COL (for TP/RJ45) — Full duplex connection when lit; data collisions when ashing;
half duplex when unlit.
SD (for FP/Fiber) — Fiber optic signal is detected when lit; no signal when unlit.
