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.
