Product Features
Technical Overview
This section brings together practical product details such as Total Number of Ports, Network (RJ-45), Number of PoE+ (RJ-45) Ports, Media Type Supported, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Conversion Architecture
The converter implements transparent media conversion between 1000Base-T Ethernet over Category 5e/6 copper and 100Base-FX over multi-mode fiber optics. This preserves Ethernet framing and MAC addressing while extending the physical network layer.
- Maintains full duplex operation
- Supports jumbo frames up to 9KB
- Auto-MDI/MDIX crossover on RJ-45 port
PoE+ Power Delivery
The integrated PoE+ port complies with IEEE 802.3at standards, delivering up to 30W of power to connected devices such as wireless access points, IP cameras, or VoIP phones.
- 802.3af/at compatible
- Automatic detection and classification
- Short-circuit and overload protection
Key Product Advantages
This media converter addresses critical network expansion challenges by combining fiber distance capabilities with PoE+ power delivery in a single compact unit. The integration eliminates the need for separate power injectors or mid-span devices when connecting powered devices across extended fiber links.
Distance Extension
Extend network segments up to 2 kilometers while maintaining Gigabit throughput, far beyond the 100-meter limitation of standard copper Ethernet.
- Eliminates signal degradation over distance
- Immunity to electromagnetic interference
- Secure transmission without signal leakage
Installation Flexibility
The dual form factor design supports both desktop placement and wall mounting, with ventilation ensuring stable operation in enclosed spaces.
- Compact 155mm × 149mm footprint
- Keyhole slots for secure mounting
- LED indicators for port status monitoring
Deployment / Use Cases
The AT-PC200/SC-960 converter serves as an ideal solution for extending network infrastructure in environments where fiber optic cabling already exists or where distance requirements exceed copper capabilities. Its PoE+ functionality makes it particularly valuable for powering edge devices in distributed deployments.
Common implementation scenarios include connecting remote security cameras across parking lots or campus perimeters, extending wireless coverage to outbuildings while powering access points, and linking network segments between floors in multi-story buildings where existing fiber backbone infrastructure is present. The converter also facilitates network segmentation by creating isolated fiber links between switches in different physical locations.
Security System Integration
Deploy IP cameras at perimeter locations with single-cable simplicity. The converter delivers both network connectivity and power over extended fiber runs.
- Eliminates separate power runs
- Centralizes camera management
- Extends surveillance coverage
Wireless Network Expansion
Extend Wi-Fi coverage to remote areas while powering access points through the same fiber connection that carries network traffic.
- Reduces infrastructure complexity
- Maintains network performance
- Simplifies access point deployment
Physical Profile
The converter features a durable metal enclosure measuring 155mm wide × 149mm deep × 40mm high, with a weight of 1.65 pounds including internal components. The compact design accommodates desktop placement or wall mounting using integrated keyhole slots. Front-panel LEDs provide clear status indication for power, fiber link, copper link, and PoE activity, while rear-panel connections maintain clean cable management. The unit operates silently with passive cooling, making it suitable for office environments or enclosed network cabinets.

FAQ
What types of fiber cable does this media converter support?
The AT-PC200/SC-960 supports multi-mode fiber optic cables with 50/125 µm or 62.5/125 µm core/cladding specifications. It operates at 850 nm wavelength, which is standard for most multi-mode fiber installations. The SC connector interface provides secure physical connection with positive latching mechanism for reliable fiber termination.
How much power does the PoE+ port deliver to connected devices?
The PoE+ port delivers up to 30 watts of power in compliance with IEEE 802.3at standards. This supports Power over Ethernet Plus devices such as advanced wireless access points, pan-tilt-zoom security cameras, and VoIP phones with additional features. The port automatically detects and classifies connected devices to provide the appropriate power level.
What is the maximum distance supported over fiber with this converter?
The converter supports fiber connections up to 2 kilometers (approximately 1.24 miles) when using multi-mode fiber at 850 nm wavelength. This distance capability allows network extension far beyond the 100-meter limitation of standard copper Ethernet cabling, making it ideal for connecting buildings, extending campus networks, or reaching remote devices.
Does this media converter require any configuration or management software?
No configuration or management software is required. The AT-PC200/SC-960 operates as a transparent Layer 2 media converter with store-and-forward switching. It automatically negotiates speed and duplex settings on both copper and fiber interfaces, and requires no IP address assignment, VLAN configuration, or specialized management tools for basic operation.
Can this converter be mounted on a wall or in a rack?
Yes, the converter features a dual form factor design that supports both standalone desktop placement and wall mounting. The enclosure includes keyhole slots on the bottom for secure wall mounting. While not specifically designed for rack mounting, the compact dimensions allow installation in shallow network cabinets or on rack shelves using optional mounting brackets.
