Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter supports full Gigabit Ethernet speeds across all ports, with a maximum data transfer rate of 1 Gbit/s. It is compatible with 10/100/1000Base-T networks over twisted pair and 1000Base-SX/LX/BX over fiber, ensuring interoperability with a wide range of network equipment. The four PoE+ ports function as Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), providing up to 30W of power per the IEEE 802.3at standard to connected devices.
The two SFP expansion slots accept standard SFP transceivers, allowing customization for specific fiber types, distances, and connector types such as LC or SC. This flexibility makes the converter adaptable to various network topologies, from short-range multi-mode links to long-distance single-mode connections. The unit does not include a management port, operating as an unmanaged device for plug-and-play simplicity in environments where advanced configuration is not required.

Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is deployed in scenarios where network segmentation or media conversion is necessary. Common applications include extending network reach in industrial settings where fiber is required for EMI resistance, or in educational campuses where fiber backbones connect multiple buildings with copper access layers.
In retail or office environments, it can consolidate PoE devices like phones and APs onto a fiber uplink, centralizing management and reducing switch port counts. The converter's support for both multi-mode and single-mode fiber allows it to serve short-distance intra-building links or longer inter-building connections, making it a versatile tool for network expansion and modernization projects.
Surveillance and Security
Ideal for connecting PoE IP cameras over copper to a fiber backbone, extending camera placement beyond copper distance limits while powering cameras directly.
Campus and Building Networks
Use to link copper-based edge switches in remote buildings to a central fiber core, leveraging fiber for noise immunity and longer runs between structures.

FAQ
What types of fiber does this media converter support?
The ADD-GMC-4RJ2SFP-POE supports both multi-mode and single-mode fiber through its two SFP slots. You can install standard SFP transceivers compatible with either fiber type, allowing customization for short-range multi-mode connections (e.g., within a building) or long-distance single-mode links (e.g., between buildings). The converter itself does not include transceivers; they must be purchased separately based on your network's distance and connector requirements.
How many devices can be powered by the PoE+ ports?
This media converter has four PoE+ RJ-45 ports that can power compatible devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones. Each port supports the IEEE 802.3at standard, delivering up to 30W of power. The total power consumption of the converter is 30W, so the available power is shared across all ports based on connected device demands. It is designed as Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), eliminating the need for separate power supplies at the device location.
What is the maximum data transfer rate?
The media converter supports a maximum data transfer rate of 1 Gbit/s (Gigabit per second) across all ports. It is compatible with 10/100/1000Base-T networks over twisted pair cabling and 1000Base-SX/LX/BX over fiber, ensuring full Gigabit Ethernet performance. This speed is sufficient for high-bandwidth applications like video surveillance, data backups, or VoIP traffic, making it suitable for modern network environments requiring fast and reliable connectivity.
Does this converter include SFP transceivers?
No, the ADD-GMC-4RJ2SFP-POE does not include SFP transceivers. It features two open SFP slots that accept industry-standard SFP modules, which must be purchased separately. This allows you to choose transceivers that match your specific fiber type (multi-mode or single-mode), distance requirements, and connector style (e.g., LC or SC). This flexibility ensures the converter can be tailored to your network's exact media and reach needs.
What power source does the converter require?
The media converter operates on AC/DC power, with a total power consumption of 30W. It includes a power adapter that plugs into standard electrical outlets, providing the necessary power for both the converter's operation and the PoE+ output to connected devices. The AC/DC design ensures compatibility with various power infrastructures, making it easy to deploy in office, industrial, or remote locations without specialized power setups.
Is this media converter manageable?
No, the ADD-GMC-4RJ2SFP-POE is an unmanaged media converter. It does not have a management port or support for configuration protocols like SNMP or web interfaces. This plug-and-play design simplifies deployment, as it requires no setup or monitoring—just connect the cables and power. It is ideal for environments where basic media conversion and PoE delivery are needed without advanced features like QoS, VLANs, or traffic monitoring.
