Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates at Gigabit Ethernet speeds, delivering a maximum data transfer rate of 1 Gbit/s across all ports. It supports a comprehensive range of network technologies, including 10/100/1000Base-T over twisted pair and 1000Base-SX/LX/BX over fiber, ensuring compatibility with diverse network equipment and cabling standards.
The device functions as a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), providing PoE+ power to connected devices through its four RJ-45 ports. This eliminates the need for separate power injectors or local power outlets at remote installation points. The converter is powered by an AC/DC source, with a typical power consumption of 30 watts under full load.
Key Product Advantages
This media converter excels in environments where distance, interference, or power constraints challenge traditional copper networks. By converting copper signals to fiber optics, it enables reliable data transmission over extended ranges without signal degradation, making it ideal for connecting buildings, industrial sites, or campus networks.
Flexible Media Support
Accepts both multi-mode and single-mode SFP modules, allowing customization for short-range or long-distance fiber links based on specific deployment needs.
- Supports optical fiber for longer distances
- Maintains twisted pair compatibility
Integrated Power Delivery
Four PoE+ ports supply power to connected devices, reducing cabling complexity and enabling standalone operation of network peripherals in remote locations.
- Eliminates need for separate power injectors
- Simplifies installation of powered devices
Deployment / Use Cases
This converter is particularly valuable in scenarios where network segments must traverse challenging environments. Fiber optic connections are immune to electromagnetic interference, making them suitable for industrial settings, data centers, or outdoor installations where copper cables might fail.
Common applications include extending network connections between buildings in a campus, linking surveillance cameras in parking lots or perimeter security systems, deploying wireless access points in large warehouses, or integrating fiber backbones into existing copper-based office networks. The PoE+ capability further supports power-over-Ethernet devices without requiring local electrical infrastructure.
Building-to-Building Links
Connect separate structures with fiber for reliable, high-speed data transfer over distances exceeding copper limitations.
IP Surveillance Expansion
Power and connect multiple IP cameras over extended ranges using fiber for video backhaul and PoE+ for device power.
Physical Profile
The converter features a compact desktop form factor with dimensions of 5.50" height, 9.50" width, and 3.75" depth, making it suitable for placement on shelves, in network racks, or on workstations. Its robust construction supports a weight of approximately 6 pounds, indicating durable build quality for continuous operation in commercial environments.

FAQ
What types of fiber optic connections does this media converter support?
The AddOn ADD-GMC-4RJ2SFP-POE+ supports both multi-mode and single-mode fiber optic connections through its two open SFP slots. You can install compatible SFP transceiver modules to match your existing fiber infrastructure, whether for shorter-range multi-mode applications or longer-distance single-mode deployments.
How many devices can receive PoE+ power from this converter?
This media converter provides Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) through four of its RJ-45 ports. It functions as Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), capable of delivering power to up to four compatible devices simultaneously, such as IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones, eliminating the need for separate power supplies at remote locations.
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this converter?
The converter supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds with a maximum data transfer rate of 1 Gbit/s. This applies to both the copper RJ-45 ports and the fiber optic SFP connections, ensuring high-performance network bridging between different media types without bandwidth bottlenecks.
Can this media converter be used to connect networks between buildings?
Yes, this converter is ideal for connecting networks between separate buildings. By using fiber optic SFP modules in the two open slots, you can extend network connections over much longer distances than possible with copper cabling alone, while maintaining Gigabit Ethernet performance and immunity to electromagnetic interference.
What power source does this converter require?
The converter operates on an AC/DC power source with a typical power consumption of 30 watts under full load. This includes power for the converter itself plus the PoE+ delivery to connected devices.
