Installing fiber cable
To install a fiber cable, view Figure 10, and then do the following:
1. Locate or build 100Base-FX fiber cable with male, two-stranded TX to RX
connectors installed at both ends.
2. Connect the fiber cables to the industrial switch as follows:
• Connect the male TX cable connector to the female TX port.
• Connect the male RX cable connector to the female RX port.
3. Connect the fiber cables to the other device (another media converter, hub, etc.)
as follows:
• Connect the male TX cable connector to the female RX port.
• Connect the male RX cable connector to the female TX port.

Installing copper cable
The AutoCross feature allows connecting straight-through (MDI) or crossover (MDI-
X) copper cable to the RJ-45 port of a second device.
To install an Ethernet cable, view Figure 11, and then do the following:
1. Locate or build 10Base-T or 100Base-TX copper cables with male, RJ-45
connectors installed on both ends.
2. Connect the RJ-45 connector at one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port on the
industrial switch.
3. Connect the RJ-45 connector at the other end of the cable to the RJ-45 port on the
second device (PLC, workstation, etc.).

Copper/fiber status LEDs
Copper LEDs
The SIBTF10xx-1xx-Mx comes equipped with status LEDs to monitor the network
connections for the copper and fiber ports.
The numbered LEDs refer to the numbered copper and fiber ports. For example, LED
#1 refers to the twisted-pair copper port #1; LED #2 refers to fiber port #2. See
Figure 12.
Each port has three associated LEDs: Full duplex (FD), 10MB, and 100MB.
