GigaBit Media Converter Connecting to the Network 1. Unpack the GigaBit Media Converter, verify that you have all components, and obtain the required cables needed to successfully install the unit. 2. Multimode Ports: Using a duplex multimode cable, connect the appropriate switch, server, or router to the GigaBit Media Converter's Multimode Port. 3. Singlemode Ports: Using a duplex singlemode cable, connect the appropriate switch, server, or router to the GigaBit Media Converter's Singlemode Port. 4.
GigaBit Media Converter Connecting to the Network When installing the GigaBit Media Converter, care must be taken in choosing the appropriate cabling to avoid Differential Mode Delay (DMD) effects. DMD is caused by singlemode, (1310 nanometer) laser point sources launching into multimode cable. Optical power is concentrated in the center of the fiber core, propagating in less than 5% of possible modal paths.

GigaBit Media Converter Configuration Guidelines for Link Fault Signaling (LFS) Operation Link Fault Signaling (LFS) circuitry provides visual indication of link condition on both segments, as well as alerting each end host device when a remote link (segment) is down. If either segment experiences a link failure, the good segment port LED will remain lit. BUT, the Link idle signal going to the next, remaining device on the GOOD segment, is instantly disabled, turning off its Link LED.
GigaBit Media Converter Safety Notes on Laser Singlemode and Multimode-type Connectors The FMC-LX/SX uses one 850nm laser (Multimode Port) and one 1310 nm laser (Singlemode Port) connector. Observe caution when deploying equipment using laser optics. Non-eye safe laser devices may be inadvertently connected to cabling that is intended to be attached to eye-safe 850nm or 1310 nm laser driven equipment. This poses a risk for eye and equipment damage.
