Introduction
The 065-1195SFP Gigabit Ethernet SFP Media Converter provides one
channel for media conversion between 1000BaseT and 1000BaseSX/LX
with a Link Fault Signaling function. It can be used as a stand-alone device
or with the Signamax 065-1185 16-bay Rack Mount Chassis (mountable in
a standard 19” rack) as shown below.
Product Overview
Product Features
One-channel media conversion between: 1000BaseT and 1000BaseSX/LX using SFP
modules; a SFP socket is provided to accommodate Gigabit Ethernet SFP’s.
Fiber media can be either multimode fiber, singlemode fiber, or WDM singlemode fiber.
Full wire-speed forwarding rate.
Front panel status LEDs.
Used as a standalone device or with the Signamax 065-1185 rack mount chassis.
Hot-swappable when used with the Signamax 065-1185 rack mount chassis.
A connection to the TX port must be made before making a connection to the fiber port, so
that a link condition will be sensed on the fiber port whenever the media converter detects
a link condition on the TX port.
There are two pins on the DIP switch of the 1000BaseT and 1000BaseSX/LX
one-channel media converter:
Toggle up the pin on the left-hand side to let the fiber port auto detect full and half
duplex.
Toggle down the pin on the left-hand side to force the fiber port to full duplex
mode.
Toggle up the pin on the right-hand side to disable the link-fault-pass-through
function.
Toggle down the pin on the right-hand side to enable the link-fault-pass-through
function.

Signaling function
The fiber port should be forced to full duplex mode when two 1000BaseT and
1000BaseSX/LX one-channel media converters are connected to each other via fiber port.
The TX port auto detects full and half duplex
The TX port supports auto MDIX for uplink purpose
