Chapter 1 Introduction
The PLANET FT-807 is a 10/100Base-TX shielded twisted pair (STP) to Fast
Ethernet 100Base-FX fiber converter. It supports full-duplex operations at its
fiber-optic interface in the form factor of SMI (Small Multimedia Interface) interface.
The converter auto-adapts to the highest level of performance supported by the
device connected to the STP port.
1.1 Product Description
The SMI (small multimedia interface) is one kind of POF (plastic optic fiber) interface
that can suitable for low-cost and high-speed data transmission. The SMI patch cord
meets the IEEE 1394b specification that can transmit data at S200 (250Mbps) speed
for 50 meters, the distance range of TP port is 100 meters. It will make the new
generation multimedia life more possible and easy installation.
1.2 Packet Contents
Your FT-807 carton should contain following items:
The Fast Ethernet Media Converter.
AC to DC Power Adapter (Output: 5V DC, 2A max).
This User’s Manual.
If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller from
whom you purchased your Fast Ethernet Converter.

1.4 Product Outlook
LED Definition
POF: Lights to indicate the SMI connection is established.
TP: Lights to indicate the TP connection is established.
PWR: Lights to indicate the converter is powered.
1.5 Duplex Mode Setting
The TP port of FT-807 supports duplex mode detection by auto-negotiation (A-N).
The following is the duplex mode parameters:
Fast Ethernet Device FT-807 Duplex Mode Support
Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Hub Half-Duplex
Ethernet / Fast Ethernet Switch (without A-N)
Half-Duplex
Fast Ethernet Devices *
Support Auto-Negotiation
Full-Duplex/Half Duplex
Note: Normally, an A-N switch will detect and set to full-duplex, where a dual-speed
hub will detects half.
The fiber port (POF) port of FT-807 is fixed at 100Mbps full-duplex mode. The link
partner should also set at 100Mbps full-duplex mode at the same time.
1.6 Power information
The power jack of FT-807 is with 2.5mm in the central post and required +5VDC
power input. Should you have the issue to make the power connection, please
contact with your local sales representative.
Chapter 2 Installation
Please follow these steps to install the converter:
Turn off the power of the device/station in a network to which the FT-807 will be
attached.
Ensure that there is no activity in the network.
Attach POF fiber cable with SMI type connector from the FT-807 to the fiber
network also using POF.
Attach a Cat. 5 UTP cable from the 10/100Base-TX network to the RJ-45 port
on the FT-807.
Connect the 5VDC power adapter to the FT-807 and verify that the Power LED
lights up.
Turn on the power of the device/station, the TP and POF LED should light when
all cables are attached.
Note:
1. RJ-45/STP, UTP Cat 5, straight/crossover cable is accepted.
2. Please note the FT-807 supports LFP function, both ends should well
connected. Otherwise, both TP and fiber port will remains off if any of the port is
not connected
3. Consult for your network administrator for more information about POF network
equipments. Usually, another FT-807 is required for pair installation and
transmission.
Warning: As an optical equipment, to reduce the risk of injury to the eyes, do not
look directly into the laser light on the POF interface and do not point the
laser light into anyone's eyes in short distance.
Appendix A: RJ-45 pin assignment and cable system
A.1 10/100Mbps, 10/100Base-TX
When connecting 10/100Mbps TP port to other devices, a straight or crossover cable
is necessary. The TP port of FT-807 supports auto-MDI detection. That means you
can directly connect the TP port to any Ethernet devices without making a crossover
cable. The following table and diagram show the standard RJ-45 receptacle/
connector and their pin assignments:

There are 8 wires on a standard UTP/STP cable and each wire is color-coded. The
following shows the pin allocation and color of straight cable and crossover cable
connection:
Figure A-1: Straight-Through and Crossover Cable
Please make sure your connected cable is with same pin assignment and color as
above picture before deploying the cables into your network.
A.2 100Mbps, 100Base-FX, SMI type connector
FT-807 is using POF SMI type connector that is mostly being used for IEEE1394b
transmission. The followings show the basic information.
The POF Cable should be a dual wire cable with 0.98mm optic core
with cladding diameter 1mm. Also with jacket in diameter: 2.2 mm.
The SMI connector will as like the figure
left. You can check with your network
device dealer or administrator for the
availability of the cable and connector.
