µTX2FX Media Converter
The µTX2FX is an ultra compact Ethernet media converter that translates transmission signals from a copper
100-TX or 1000Base-T interface to a 100Base-FX or 1000Base-X fiber optic. t expands network data
transmission distances beyond the 100 meter limitation of copper wire to over 10 kilometers by using single-
mode fiber optic cable.
For the fiber optic port, any standard Small Form Factor plug-able (SFP) transceiver module complying to the
MSA standard and are Ethernet compatible can be used. These SFP transceivers modules are available with a
variety of different transmitter and receiver types, allowing users to select the appropriate transceiver for the
required fiber optical interface. Further, the µTX2FX provides automatic detection and initializing of the SFP
module
Since the µTX2FX design is based on a PHY, the latency of the frames is constant and with typically 250nsec
(1GBit) relative low. This allows using the µTX2FX in a time sensitive network which needs to support EEE
1588 PTP or EEE 802.1AS gPTP traffic.
●Features:
●Low Power
●Wide nput Voltage range
●Supports 1000BASE-X and 100BASE-FX optical
media.
●Supports 1000BASE-T and 100BASE-TX copper
media.
●Small size.
●Low latency due to PHY based design.
●Supports MSA compliant SFPs.
●Link loss forwarding.

1 INT ODUCTION
1.1 ABOUT THIS MANUAL
This manual, provides all the information necessary to handle and configure the µTX2FX.
The manual is written for technical personnel responsible for integrating the µTX2FX into their systems.
It is strongly recommended to read this manual before the µTX2FX is switched on.
1.2 SAFETY P ECAUTIONS AND HANDLING
For personal safety and safe operation of the µTX2FX, follow all safety procedures described here and in other
sections of the miscellaneous manual.
●Remove power from the system before installing (or removing) the µTX2FX, to prevent the possibility of
personal injury (electrical shock) and / or damage to the product.
●Handle the product carefully; i.e. dropping or mishandling the µTX2FX can cause damage to assemblies and
components.
●Do not expose the equipment to moisture.
WA NING
There are no user-serviceable components on the µTX2FX.
1.3 ELECT OSTATIC DISCHA GE (ESD) P OTECTION
Various electrical components within the product are sensitive to static and electrostatic discharge (ESD). Even
a small static discharge can be sufficient to destroy or degrade a component's operation!
With an open housing, do not touch any electronic components. Handle or touch only the unit chassis.
1.4 EQUIPMENT SAFETY
Great care is taken by MPL AG that all its products are thoroughly and rigorously tested before leaving the
factory to ensure that they are fully operational and conform to specification. However, no matter how reliable a
product, there is always the remote possibility that a defect may occur. The occurrence of a defect on this
device may, under certain conditions, cause a defect to occur in adjoining and/or connected equipment. t is
your responsibility to protect such equipment when installing this device. MPL accepts no responsibility
whatsoever for such defects, however caused.
