This application example illustrates an Ethernet Enterprise network with a star topology that provides multiple fiber links to remote buildings.
In the upper left, three copper UTP links from a core copper switch are converted to three fiber links with a miConverter 18-Module chassis of media converter modules. When fiber core switch is used, the chassis of media converters are not required.
The fiber links run to remote buildings, where the fiber at each location is converted back to copper with a standalone miConverter and distributed to end users at different buildings. In all cases, multimode, single-mode, or single-mode singlefiber can be used.
The application diagram depicts a laptop computer used in a fiber network.
The miConverter connects to the laptop via two cables. The first cable is the USB Power Adapter which draws electrical current from the laptop?s USB (1.0 or 2.0) port to power the miConverter. The other cable is the UTP cable that links the laptop network port and the miConverter copper port. The miConverter converts the UTP signal to fiber signal, which can extend up to 120km. Power from the USB port of the computer is automatically shut off when the computer is powered down, turning off the miConverter when fiber conversion is no longer needed.

IMC-552I-SST
The miniature miConverter 10/100 and miConverter 10/100 Plus are 10/100 RJ-45 to 100BASE-FX fiber media converters. Miniature miConverter Ethernet media converters provide cost-effective copper-to-fiber connectivity solutions. Due to their size, portability, and low power consumption, they are ideal for fiber-to-the-desktop/laptop under the desk deployments and mission-critical field diagnostic applications.
They can be powered by a computer?s USB port using the optional USB Power Adaptor Cable, which eliminates the need to tether the miConverter to an electrical outlet.
The RJ-45 port can auto-negotiate by detecting the speed and duplex-mode of the connected device. The port supports auto-crossover that enables the connection to workstations (MDI port) or hub/switches (MDI-X port) without requiring a crossover cable.
The 100Mbps fiber port operates in Full-Duplex mode. Models are available for single-mode or multimode fiber with ST or SC fiber connectors. Multimode fiber models support distances up to 5km and single-mode fiber models support distances up to 120km. Single-fiber models support distances up to 60km.
Additionally, the miConverter 10/100 Plus features DIP-switches for the configuration of the RJ-45 port and Link Modes (fault-detection capabilities). The DIP-switches allow manual configuration of the speed and duplex mode of the copper port, while the Link Modes assist in the identification and isolation of link failures. The available modes are Link Segment, Link Propagate, Remote Fault Detection and Symmetrical Fault Detection.
Visual diagnostic information is provided through LED indicators that assist in network installation and maintenance. The LEDs report the availability of power, port activity and link status and speed.
The external AC power adapter is available in US, Universal and Country/Region specific models. Country/Region specific models feature optional interchangeable connectors, allowing for compatibility with electrical outlet types found around the world.
The miConverter models can be mounted in the miConverter 18-Module Power Chassis to consolidate individual modules into a rack-mount form factor that can be deployed where multiple fiber optic links are distributed from UTP switch equipment.
Weighing less than 5 oz., the miConverter can easily fit into any pocket or laptop carrying case. It can also be attached to portable equipment using the included Velcro® strips or wall-mounted using the optional wall-mounting bracket kit.
