Product Description
The LYNX Technik OBD 1510 E Yellobrik modules create a compact WDM closed - loop system. This system is a game - changer for extending electrical Ethernet signals across a single bidirectional fiber optic link. With a constant 1Gbit speed on the fiber link, it's both fast and reliable.
Key Features:
- Comes with a pair of modules (Type A and Type B).
- Bidirectional data transfer over a single fiber link.
- Supports standard Ethernet inputs up to 1Gbit.
- Closed - loop WDM fiber system for enhanced performance.
- Auto - detects electrical port speed (10/100/1000) or allows manual setting to 10Mbit.
- The fiber connection speed is always a stable 1Gbit.
- Auto or manual electrical crossover selection.
- Can cover distances up to 10km (6.2 miles) over single - mode fiber.
Technical Specifications:
**Ethernet**: It has 2 Ethernet ports with RJ45 connectors. Supports different Ethernet cables like 10 BaseT UTP (category 3, 4, or 5 up to 328ft/100m with 2 pairs), 100 BaseT XUTP (category 5 up to 328ft/100m with 2 pairs), and 1000 BaseT XUTP (category 5 up to 328ft/100m with 4 pairs). Auto - detects bit rate or can be set manually, and has automatic crossover detection or manual selection. There's also port speed/activity LED indication next to the Ethernet port.
**Fiber Optic**: 1 bidirectional fiber optic I/O port. Uses simplex (single - mode) with LC/PC connection and WDM with 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths. It has an optical budget of 18dB, and LEDs for fiber TX and RX activity on the side of the module. The maximum distance is 10km (6.2 miles) for single - mode.
**Power**: Comes with a + 12VDC power supply and supports external power input from 9 - 14 VDC. There's a power LED on the side of the module.
**Size**: Measures 105mm x 40mm x 22mm (4.13' x 1.57' x 0.86').
**Includes**: 2 OBD 1510 E modules (Type A and Type B), 2 12V DC power supplies, wall - mounting brackets, and a plastic transport case.
Using this LYNX Technik OBD 1510 E Yellobrik Ethernet to Fiber Extender Pair is quite straightforward. First, connect the Ethernet devices to the RJ45 connectors on the modules. You can use different types of Ethernet cables as per the technical specifications. Then, connect the fiber optic link to the bidirectional fiber optic I/O port. Make sure to use the right single - mode fiber and LC/PC connection.
For power, plug in the included + 12VDC power supply. If you want, you can also use an external power source between 9 - 14 VDC. Once everything is connected, check the LEDs on the modules. The port speed/activity LEDs next to the Ethernet ports and the fiber TX/RX active LEDs on the side of the module will show you the status.
When it comes to settings, the system can auto - detect the electrical port speed (10/100/1000), but you can also manually set it to 10Mbit if needed. Similarly, you can choose auto or manual electrical crossover selection.
Here are some important things to note. Avoid bending the fiber optic cable too sharply as it can affect the signal. Also, keep the modules in a clean and dry environment. When transporting, use the provided plastic transport case to protect them.
For maintenance, regularly check the connectors for any dirt or damage. If you notice any issues with the LEDs or the performance, first check the connections. If the problem persists, you may need to consult the technical support.
