Product Features
Technical Overview
The NETWAYSP1BT operates as a transceiver/media converter with two ports: one RJ-45 port for standard Ethernet and one PoE-enabled RJ-45 port that functions as a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) port. It supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 1000 Mbps over twisted pair and fiber, ensuring high-performance data transfer.
Fiber compatibility includes both multi-mode and single-mode types, with a maximum supported distance of 0.10 km (0.06 miles). The integrated SFP slot allows for hot-swappable modules, enabling easy upgrades or changes to fiber types without replacing the entire unit.
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.
