24-hour Technical Support: 1-800-260-1312 -- International: 00-1-952-941-7600
Installation
Install the Coax Cable
1.
Locate or build 10Base-2 compliant coax cable with female, BNC
connectors installed at both ends.
2.
Connect the BNC cable connector at one end of the cable to the BNC
port on the media converter.
3.
Connect the BNC cable connector at the other end of the cable to the
BNC port on the 10Base-2 compliant device.
CAUTION: Ensure that the 10Base-2 coax cables are terminated properly at
both ends.  In a coax thinnet installation, the first and last device in a daisy-chain
must be terminated using a 50 
Ω terminator.  Also, ensure that the 10Base-2
segment is grounded to earth ground at a single point.  Failure to observe this
caution will cause data transfer to fail.
Connect the coax cable 
to the first media 
converter as shown.

Install the 10Base-T Cable 
CAUTION: Connections between the J/E-CX-TBT-01 and a hub, switch, or router
require crossover configuration cable.  Connections between the J/E-CX-TBT-01
and a terminal, transceiver, or NIC require straight-through configuration cable.
(See page 4.)  Failure to observe this caution will cause data transfer to fail.
1.
Locate or build 10Base-T compliant copper cables with male, RJ-45
connectors installed at both ends.
2.
Connect the RJ-45 connector at one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port on
the media converter.
3.
Connect the RJ-45 connector at the other end of the cable to the RJ-45
port on the 10Base-T compliant device.
