NOTE
Media converter chassis ship with all but one media conversion module slot covered
with “blank” brackets. Be sure to keep unused slots covered for EMI containment. It
is a good idea to save any “blanks” removed during installation for future use if
configuration requirements change.
Installation Tip
Since single-strand fiber products use optics that transmit and receive on two
different wavelengths, the single-strand fiber products must be deployed in pairs, or
connect two compatible B&B Electronics single-strand fiber products. For example,
connect Compact Media Converter, TX/SSFX-SM1310-SC (which has 1310 xmt and
1550 rcv) to a product which has 1550 xmt and 1310 rcv, e.g. 100 Mbps TX/SSFX-
SM1550-SC Module. The two connected products must also have the same speed
and distance capabilities (i.e. both are single-mode [20 km] or both are single/PLUS
[40 km]).
