Quick Guide
This guide covers the setup and operation of the Intellinet 10GBase-T to 10GBase-R Media Converter (Model 508193 v2). Ensure you have an SFP+ transceiver module before starting, as it is required for fiber optic connections.
Connections
Twisted Pair (RJ45): Connect the UTP port of the media converter to an RJ45 port on your network (e.g., an Ethernet switch). Cat5e or better cabling is recommended.
SFP+ Slot: This device requires an SFP+ transceiver module for fiber optic connections.
- Insert the SFP+ transceiver into the media converter.
- Install the fiber optic cable into the transceiver.
- Connect the other end of the fiber optic cable to your fiber network.
Note: Maximum fiber cable length and specifications depend on the specific SFP+ module used.
LED Status
Monitor the device status using the front panel LEDs:
- Power: On (Power On), Off (Power Off).
- LNK/ACT: On (Active fiber connection), Flashing (Fiber data transfer).
- SD: On (Fiber signal detected).
- 10G: On (10 Gbps connection), Off (Less than 10 Gbps).
- TX Link: On (Active copper connection).
- TX Act: Flashing (Copper data transfer).
Power
Plug the 12 VDC power adapter into the input jack on the media converter, then connect it to a power outlet. Use only the included power adapter or one with matching specifications (12 VDC, 1 A).
Safety
This device is for indoor, non-critical applications. Do not use in environments where failure may result in serious harm. Keep away from liquids, moisture, and heat sources. Do not attempt to open or repair the product.
