Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates at Gigabit Ethernet speeds, providing a maximum data transfer rate of 1 Gbit/s. It supports 10/100/1000Base-TX over twisted pair and 1000Base-SX/LX/BX over fiber, ensuring compatibility with standard network equipment. The open SFP slot allows the use of various SFP modules to match specific fiber types, distances, and connector requirements.
Power is supplied via an AC source, with a consumption of 30 watts. The PoE+ port follows the PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) standard, delivering up to 30W per port to powered devices. The converter includes two total ports: one RJ-45 for copper connectivity and one SFP for fiber, with no management port or additional interfaces like DVI or USB.
Key Product Advantages
This media converter excels in extending network distances by converting copper to fiber, reducing signal degradation and electromagnetic interference. The inclusion of PoE+ adds significant value by powering remote devices, reducing cabling complexity and installation costs.
Flexible Fiber Support
Accepts SFP modules for multi-mode or single-mode fiber, allowing customization for short or long-distance runs.
- Supports both fiber modes
- Open SFP slot for module choice
PoE+ Integration
Delivers power over Ethernet to connected devices, ideal for deployments where electrical outlets are scarce.
- PSE port standard
- Simplifies power management
Deployment / Use Cases
This converter is ideal for extending network reach in environments where fiber optic cabling is required for distance, noise immunity, or security. Common applications include connecting buildings across a campus, linking network switches in industrial settings, or integrating fiber backbones into existing copper networks.
The PoE+ capability makes it particularly useful for powering devices in remote locations. For example, it can connect an IP surveillance camera over fiber while providing power, or supply a wireless access point in a warehouse without nearby AC outlets. Its compatibility with standard SFP modules allows network administrators to tailor the solution to specific fiber types and connectors.
Campus Network Extension
Connect buildings over fiber for high-speed, reliable links while powering edge devices via PoE+.
Industrial Connectivity
Use in factories or outdoor sites where fiber resists interference and PoE+ simplifies device installation.
