EKI-2541M & 2541S User Manual 2
Chapter 1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
The EKI-2541M/2541S is a cost-effective solution for the converting between
10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX cabling, it allows you to extend the cabling distance
of your 100Base-FX network up to 2 kilometers for multi-mode fiber or 30 kilometers
for single-mode fiber. The Fast Fiber Converter module gives you the option to choose
from the most popular fiber cabling connectors: SC multi-mode and single-mode
connector.
1.1.1 Fast Fiber Converters Module
The EKI-2541M/2541S provides you with one Fiber connector for your fiber optic cable
and one Ethernet RJ-45 port (Auto MDI/MDIX) for your 100Base-TX copper cable
connection. There are four DIP-switches to set the operation mode for UTP, Fiber ports
and Link Fault Pass-Through function.
1.1.2 Dual Power Input
EKI-2541M/2541S redundant power input design is with power reserve protection to
prevent the switch device broken by wrong power wiring. When one of power input is
fail, P-Fail LED will turn on and send an alarm through a relay output for notifying user.
1.1.3 Flexible Mounting
EKI-2541M/2541S is extremely compact (37 x 140 x 95 mm) and can be mounted on a
DIN-rail or a panel, so it is suitable for any space-constrained environment.
1.1.4 Advanced Protection
EKI-2541M/2541S supports up to 3,000 VDC surge protection for power line, and also
supports 4000V ESD for Ethernet ports. With these 2 strong protections, it can secure
equipment against unregulated voltage and make systems safer and more reliable.
Further, EKI-2541M/2541S provides currency overload protection with a resettable
fuse to ensure that the device component won’t be damaged by overload current.
1.1.5 Wide Operating Temperature
The operating temperature of the EKI-2541M/2541S is between -40 ~ 75 ℃ (wide
operating temperature model) or -10 ~ 60 ℃ (standard model). With such a wide range,
you can use the EKI-2541M/2541S in some of the harshest industrial environments
that exist.
1.1.6 Easy Troubleshooting
LED indicators make troubleshooting quick and easy. The 10/100 Base-TX port has 2
LEDs that display the link status, transmission speed and collision status. Also the
three power indicators P1, P2 and P-Fail help you diagnose immediately.
