1000BASE-T1 MediaConverter EMC User Manual
4 1000BASE-T1 MediaConverter EMC mode A0 and A2
Nowadays, when we speak about 1000BASE-T1 MediaConverter EMC, we have to
mention that there are two devices but with a small difference.
On the one hand, there is the 1000BASE-T1 Media Converter HW 1.4 (TE- 1400), which
works with a A0 PHY from Marvell (88Q2112) and is only compatible with PHY Z0, Z1
and A0 versions. However, when connecting to 1000BASE-T1 Transceivers of different
vendors, no linkup is possible.
On the other hand, there is the 1000BASE-T1 Media Converter HW 2.0 (TE-1400-1),
which is a “new” version of the TE-1400 with A2 PHY from Marvell, where it has the
following behavior.
The device includes a DIP switch, which allows the manual change of the mode, in
order to set up the 1000BASE-T1 SFP Module with A0 PHY (TE-1435).
The user has to access the PHY register settings, so the mode change has to be done
by the user itself.
