Troubleshooting

If the singlemode to multimode fiber-optic media converter fails, ask the following:

SINGLEMODE
Fiber Optic Cable Recommended:

9/125 µm singlemode fiber

Fiber Optic Transmitter Power:

Average: -16 dBm

Fiber Optic Receiver Sensitivity:

Average: -33 dBm

Wavelength:

1300nM

Bit error rate:

≤

10

-9

Maximum Cable Distance:

5-20 kilometers

MULTIMODE
Fiber Optic Cable Recommended:

62.5 / 125 µm multimode fiber

Optional:

100 / 140 µm multimode fiber

85 / 125 µm multimode fiber
50 / 125 µm multimode fiber

Fiber Optic Transmitter Power:

Average: -15 dBm

Fiber Optic Receiver Sensitivity:

Average : -33 dBm

Wavelength:

850nM

Bit error rate:

≤

10

-10

Maximum Cable Distance:

2 kilometers (6,600 feet)

NOTE: This product is NOT a repeater. Therefore, maximum
distances depend on specific characteristics of the installation.
The full distances of BOTH singlemode and multimode fiber
shown MAY NOT be supported in the same installation
.

Fiber Optic Cable Specifications

Installing Slide-In-Module(s)

CAUTION: Wear a grounding device and observe electrostatic discharge precautions when
installing Media Converter Slide-in-Module(s) in the 16-Slot Media Conversion Center. Failure
to observe this caution could result in damage to, and subsequent failure of, the Media
Converter Slide-in-Module(s).

NOTE: Media Converter Slide-in-Modules can be installed in any installation slot, in any order.

To install the Media Converter Slide-in-Module in the E-MCC-1600 chassis:

1. Remove Media Converter Slide-in-Module protective plate from selected installation slot by

removing two screws that secure plate to front of E-MCC-1600. Retain one installation
screw.

2. Carefully slide Media Converter Slide-in-Module into installation slot, aligning Media

Converter Slide-in-Module with installation guides.

NOTE: Ensure that the Media Converter Slide-in-Module is firmly seated against the
backplane.

3. Secure Slide-in-Module by installing retained installation screw.

FIBER OPTIC CABLE CONNECTIONS

•

Be certain that the correct mode and wavelength fiber cable is used
BOTH for single-mode and for multimode fiber cable installations.

•

Verify that TX and RX cables on media converter are connected to RX
and TX ports, respectively, on the other device.
