Installation— Continued
Connect the fiber cable
Full duplex (always ON) is on the fiber side only; therefore, the 512-Bit Rule does not
apply. The cable lengths are constrained by the cable requirement.
1. Locate or build IEEE 803.2™ compliant 1000Base-X fiber cable with male,
two-stranded TX to RX connectors installed at both ends.
2. Connect the fiber cable to the M/GE-PSW-xX-01 media converters as follows:
• Connect the male TX cable connector to the female TX port.
• Connect the male RX cable connector to the female RX port.
3. Connect the fiber cable to the other device (another media converter, hub, etc.)
as follows:
• Connect the male TX cable connector to the female RX port.
• Connect the male RX cable connector to the female TX port.
Note: With AutoCross permanently enabled, the link LED only lights when a valid
end-to-end connection is made.
