Unicom’s Giga Fiber Converter is a cost- effective solution for the  
conversion of 10/100/1000Base-T (Auto MDI/MDIX) and pure 1000  
Base-T to 1000Base-SX/LX cabling. It can be slotted into a multi-  
converter chassis that enhances your network flexibility. It can also be  
used as a stand-alone converter.

your 10/100/1000Base-T (Auto MDI/MDIX) or pure 1000 Base-T  
network up to 550m for multi-mode fiber or 10 kilometers for single-  
mode fiber. This Converter uses the most popular fiber cabling  
connectors: SC multi- mode fiber connector and SC single-mode fiber  
connector.

FCC Statement  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B device, pursuant  
to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against  
harmful interference in a commercial installation. This equipment generates, uses and can  
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with instructions, may  
cause harmful interference with radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a

Key Features  
Standards: IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T  
IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX  
Cabling  
• Twisted-pair segments can be Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) or  
Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cabling. The cable must comply with the  
IEEE 802.3 10/100/1000Base-T standard for Category 5e/6. The  
cable between the converter and the link partner (switch, hub,  
workstation, etc.) must be 100 meters (328 ft.) or less in length.  
IEEE 802.3ab 1000BaseT,  
IEEE 802.3z 1000BaseSX/LX standards  
IEEE 802.3x Flow Control and Back pressure  
LED Indicators: Power (Green)  
• Fiber segments using Single Mode connectors must use 9/125µm  
Single Mode fiber cable. The maximum link distance in full duplex  
operation is 10 Kilometers (6.2 miles). The maximum link distance  
in half duplex operation is 412 meters (1352 ft).  
UTP SPD: 1000Mbps /100Mbps / 10Mbps  
Lnk/Act: UTP /FIBER  
FDX: UTP: Full-Duplex mode / Half-Duplex or Link down  
FIBER: Full-Duplex mode / Link down  
• The maximum distance of fiber segments using Multi-Mode  
connectors measures 550 meters (1804 ft.) with 50/125µm or  
62.5/125µm Multi-Mode fiber cable.  
Connector: Fiber: Duplex SC  
RJ-45 Socket: CAT-5e (10/100/1000Mbps) Twisted Pair  
cable Auto MDI/MDI-X and Auto-Negotiation Function  
Support  
Network Connection  
Fiber parameters:  
A. Select the appropriate length Category 5e or 6 twisted pair cable.  
Connect one end of the twisted pair cable to the RJ-45 connector  
on the converter and the other end of twisted pair cable to the RJ-  
45 connector on any 10/100/1000Base-T device.  
Fiber Core: Multi-Mode (62.5/125um, 50/125um)  
Single-Mode (9/125um)  
Wavelength:850nm(Multi-mode),  
1310nm(Single-mode)  
B. Connect one end of a fiber jumper to the SC connector on this  
converter and the other end of the fiber jumper to the SC  
connector on the other 1000Base-SX/LX device.  
Fiber Distance: 550m (Multi-Mode Fiber)  
10km (Single-Mode Fiber)  
Link Loss Forward:  
C. Attach the power adapter DC jack to the converter. Verify that the  
Power LED is on.  
Copper to Fiber: If copper port link down, then media  
converter will forced fiber to link down.  
D. Verify that the UTP “LK/ACT” LEDs light when cable connection is  
installed correctly. Verify that Fiber “LK/ACT” LED blinks to indicate  
network activity.  
Fiber to Copper: If Fiber port link down, the media  
converter will forced copper port to link down.  
Troubleshooting  
• Verify that you are using the right power adapter, DC 5V, 2A  
(minimum). Using a power adapter with DC output greater than 5V  
could result in damage to the unit and/or personal injury.  
• Confirm the proper UTP/Fiber cable is being used. The Single Mode  
converter must use Single Mode fiber optic cable.

Installing Converters into Chassis  
Follow the steps below to install modular converters into the 10 space  
Converter Chassis (pn: FEP-593110).  
Hardware Description  
The Front Panel  
The Front Panel of the 10/100/1000T to 1000SX/LX converters  
consists of one RJ-45 Port ( Auto MDI/MDIX ) one fiber 1000Base-  
SX/LX Port and 6 LED Indicators (SPD, LK/ACT, FDX, Fiber LK/ACT,  
FDX/COL and PWR ).  
A. Remove the blank bracket from the chassis by rotating screw  
counterclockwise. Put the blank bracket aside.  
B. Open the rack mount bracket kit. The kit contains two rack mount  
brackets and four screws.

Ports  
Copper Port: RJ-45 Port (Auto MDI/MDIX), the Ethernet RJ-45 will  
features Auto-Sensing for 10/100/1000Base-T connections and  
Auto MDI/MDIX which is basically an auto crossover feature. This  
means you can connect to another Switch or workstation without  
changing to a crossover cable.  
Fiber Port: This port is for the 1000Base-SX/LX connection and is  
available in the SC format in Multi- and Single mode.This fiber port  
does not support auto-negotiation.

E. Gently push the thumbscrews in and turn clockwise to tighten.  
Do not over tighten.  
The rear panel contains a power socket. This power socket accepts  
DC9V voltage and minimum 0.7A supplied current.

LED Indicators  
DIP Switch Description  
There are six diagnostic LEDs located on the front panel of these  
converters. The LEDs provide real-time information on system status.  
The indicators include SPD, LK/ACT, FDX, Fiber LK/ACT, FDX/COL and  
PWR. The following table provides describes these LEDs:  
The DIP-switch is used to configure operation mode for LLF (Link  
Lost Forwarding) and operation mode for Copper/Fiber port. The  
default value of Dipswitch is OFF.

Link Lost Forwarding: When LLF is enabled, it will allow copper port  
link failure to be reported to the Fiber side and will also allow Fiber  
link failure to be reported to the copper side. Therefore, a link loss  
forward feature is provided on both copper and Fiber sides.

Pure Converter mode: When Pure Converter mode is enabled (ON),  
the switch operates with the minimum latency. The transmission flow  
does not wait until an entire frame is ready but instead forwards the  
received data immediately after being received. The TP should be  
forced at 1000M in this application.

[Note]  
1) Do not change the DIP-switch setting when the copper or fiber port is  
transmitting or receiving data. It may cause data error.  
2) Power off, then power on when changing the DIP-switch setting.
