10Base-T to 10Base-2 Converter 1 Introduction Product Summary & Benefits The 10Base-T to 10Base-2 Media Converter was specifically designed to offer the network designer the tools for migration from Coaxial based Ethernet to UTP based Ethernet. Now, migration or expansion of existing networks can be achieved with minimum cost and complexity. The converter is completely transparent to the network so the network performs exactly the way it did before only now it can migrate both UTP and Coaxial mediums.
10Base-T to 10Base-2 Converter Cabling Flexibility This unit allows network managers to put UTP cabling anywhere within a network without retrofitting the arrangement of the Ethernet network. Its sleek design makes it easy to be install in a compact space or on wall mount locations. Several converters can be simultaneously installed by using a 19” Rack-mount Chassis.
10Base-T to 10Base-2 Converter Features • Complies with IEEE 802.

10Base-T to 10Base-2 Converter 2 Installation Package Contents Before proceeding, please check that your package contains the following items, and that they are in good order: • • • • • One converter One AC adapter (external) or one power cord (internal) One BNC T-connector Four self-adhesive pads One user’s manual To successfully install your converter, please see the following procedures below: • Using 10Base-2 Cable • MDI/MDI-X Connection • Positioning of Converter • Install Your Converter
10Base-T to 10Base-2 Converter MDI/MDI-X Connection The MDI/MDI-X push button alleviates the worry of cable type configuration when connecting the converter with another 10BaseT device.
Base-T to 10Base-2 Converter Positioning of Converter The following are drawings of typical Applications for the Converter. Obviously the actual distances will depend on your network, the quality of cables used, and the terminal equipment employed. Example 1 The unit allows conversion from 10Base-T UTP to 10Base-2 Coaxial cable. In this configuration, equipment can be added to existing 10Base-T networks. Distances of up to 185 meters can be achieved.
10Base-T to 10Base-2 Converter Example 2 The unit allows conversion from 10Base-T UTP to 10Base-2 Coaxial cable. In this configuration an additional 10Base-2 segment can be added to the network. Example 3 By using a combination of fiber and UTP converters, it is possible to achieve extended 10Base-2 segments.
10Base-T to 10Base-2 Converter Connections 10Base-T Connection 1. Make sure that the length for straight through twisted pair cable between 10Base-T device (hub or switch) and converter is no greater than 100 meters. 2. Connect one end of twisted pair cable to RJ-45 jack on the converter and the other to the RJ-45 jack on the 10Base-T device. 10Base-2 Connection To connect to an Ethernet using 10Base2 cable, do the following: 1. Attach the supplied BNC T-connector to the converter’s BNC connector. 2.
10Base-T to 10Base-2 Converter 3 LED Indicators This converter has several LEDs to enable you to determine the status of the converter and to see what is happening across your network. They are as follows: LNK MDI-X MDI 10Base-2 RCV PART 10Base-T PWR Green light - Illuminates when power is on LNK Green light - Illuminates when receiving link pulses from compliant devices. RCV Amber light - Flashes or illuminates when receiving data packets (depends on the rate of data passing through).

10Base-T to FL Converter Appendix B Coverter Mounting This converter can be placed in any location that will make its installation convenient. If you place the converter on a horizontal surface or on top of existing networking equipment, please affix the four rubber pads included in the package. This converter can also be mounted on a vertical surface. Simply use the underside of the unit as a template to measure and mark out the position of the holes on to the surface where the unit is to be installed.
10Base-T to FL Converter Appendix C Cables The following are some recommendations as to what you should and should not do when installing cables. Remember - cables are the deciding factor in network performance m 24m 6mm Try to maintain a bend radius of (min.) 4x the diameter of the cable for UTP and 100x for fiber. Place cable ties at regular intervals - do not over tighten cable ties - try to avoid using with fiber.
10Base-T to FL Converter Appendix D About RJ-45 Cables When connecting your network devices, use standard Category 3 eight-way cables for 10Base-T configurations and Category 5 cable for 100Base-TX.
