3. Install the Gigabit Miniature Media Converters
The Gigabit Miniature Media Converters install in a Black Box PowerTray 18-Slot DC or can be used as standalone media converters. As standalones, the Gigabit
Miniature Media Converters use a universal external switching power cube with 100 to 240 ±10% VAC input and 5VDC output.
INSTALLATION TIP
Several models of the Gigabit Miniature Media Converters support single-strand fiber
for operation. Since single-strand fiber products use optics that transmit and receive
on two different wavelengths, single-strand fiber products must be deployed in pairs.
For example, connect Gigabit Miniature Media Converter TX/SSLX-SM1310-SC, which
transmits at 1310 nm and receives at 1550 nm, to a High Density Media Converter
System II TX/SSLX-SM1550-SC, which transmits at 1550 nm and receives at 1310
nm. The two connected products must also have the same speed and distance
capabilities (i.e. both are single-mode [15 Km] or both are single-mode/PLUS [40 km]).
NOTE
Use only the supplied Black Box power supply. Using a non-Black Box power source
will void the warranty.
