Page 3: Introduction connecting to the network, Wiring the power inputs

The RocketLinx MC7001 industrial Ethernet to fiber media converter conforms to IEEE 802.3

and IEEE 802.3u standards with one 10/100BASE-TX and one 100BASE-FX Fast Ethernet

fiber port. The MC7001 features a slim and compact industrial design to save DIN rail space

for compact installations. In order to perform under harsh environments, the MC7001 is

housed in an industrial-grade aluminum case with IP31 standard protection.

The 4-Pin DIP switch configures the MC7001 to operate in switch mode or pure

converter mode.

Quick Installation Guide

Mounting the RocketLinx MC7001

Mount the DIN rail clip on the rear of the MC7001 to the DIN rail.

Grounding the RocketLinx MC7001

There is a grounding screw on the bottom side

of the MC7001. As shown in the picture, connect the

ground screw of the MC7001 to a grounding surface

to ensure safety and prevent noise.

Introduction

Connecting to the Network

1. Connecting the Ethernet Port: Connect one end of an Ethernet cable into the RJ45

port of the MC7001, and the other end is attached to a networking device. The RJ45

port supports Auto MDI/MDIX functionality. The TP LED will turn on and flash to indicate

RJ45 port’s link and activity.

2. Connecting the Fiber Port: Connect the fiber port on your MC7001 to another fiber

Ethernet device, by following the figure below. Wrong connection or fiber cable type will

cause the fiber port to not function properly.

The power input provides polarity reverse protection to avoid system damage.

1. Insert the positive and negative wires into the

V+ and V- contact on the terminal block connector.

2. Tighten the wire-clamp screws to prevent the power

wires from being loosened.

Note: The recommended working voltage is 24VDC (18-32VDC) or 18VAC (18-27VAC)

3. For different link distances, the MC7001 provides Multi-Mode fiber and Single-Mode fiber

models. The table below illustrates fiber transceiver specifications. The fiber connector is a

standard connector or square connector (SC). To ensure your fiber converter can

transmit/receive data between the 2 nodes, the attenuation of the optical fiber cable should

not exceed the fiber converter’s Link Budget.

Note: In the IEEE standard, it suggests the available transmission distance is 2KM for 62.5/125um

fiber optical cable in 1310nm wave length. Actually, the attenuation of Multi-Mode 62.5/125um

optical fiber cable is 1.5dBm/km and the maximum link distance can up to 4 to 5km.

IEEE organization recommends maximum optical fiber cable distances as defined in the
