Product Features
Technical Overview
The NetWaySP1P operates as a transparent media converter supporting full Gigabit Ethernet speeds across multiple network standards. It handles 10/100/1000Base-T over twisted pair and 1000Base-X/SX/LX via SFP modules, ensuring compatibility with both copper and fiber network segments.
The device features a single RJ-45 port for copper connectivity and one SFP slot for fiber optic transceivers, allowing conversion between these media types. Power is supplied through PoE+, which simplifies installation by delivering both data and power over a single Ethernet cable.
This section brings together practical product details such as Total Number of Ports, Network (RJ-45), Number of Network (RJ-45) Ports, Media Type Supported, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
This media converter provides essential advantages for network infrastructure projects requiring media conversion or extension. Its integrated design reduces component count and installation complexity while maintaining high performance.
Media Flexibility
Convert between twisted pair copper and various fiber optic standards using interchangeable SFP modules, adapting to different cable types and distances.
- Supports multimode and singlemode fiber via SFP
- Compatible with 10/100/1000Base-T copper networks
Simplified Power
PoE+ power injection removes the need for local AC power outlets, enabling deployment in locations where power access is limited or inconvenient.
- Eliminates separate power adapter requirements
- Reduces cable clutter and installation time
Compact Design
The small form factor occupies minimal space while providing full Gigabit conversion capabilities, ideal for dense network environments.
- Lightweight at 4 ounces
- Fits in tight spaces and standard racks
Deployment / Use Cases
The Altronix NetWaySP1P is deployed wherever network media conversion between copper and fiber is needed. Common applications include extending network segments beyond copper distance limits, connecting fiber backbone links to copper-based edge devices, or integrating fiber for electrical isolation in industrial settings.
Typical installations involve connecting a copper Ethernet switch port to a fiber optic network segment using an appropriate SFP module. The PoE+ capability allows the converter to be powered from a PoE+ switch or injector, enabling placement in intermediate locations without local power sources.
Network Extension
Extend Gigabit Ethernet connections beyond the 100-meter copper limit by converting to fiber optic cabling for longer distances.
Media Integration
Connect copper-based network devices like IP cameras, access points, or computers to fiber optic backbone infrastructure.

FAQ
What does this media converter do?
The Altronix NetWaySP1P converts network signals between standard twisted-pair copper Ethernet (RJ-45) and fiber optic cabling. It allows you to connect copper-based network devices to fiber optic network segments, extending distance capabilities and providing electrical isolation between network sections.
How is this media converter powered?
This converter receives power through PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus), which delivers both data and electrical power over a single Ethernet cable. This eliminates the need for a separate power adapter, simplifying installation in locations where AC power outlets are not readily available.
What types of fiber connections does it support?
The converter supports fiber optic connections through its SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) slot. You can install various SFP transceiver modules to connect to different fiber types, including multimode (1000Base-SX) or singlemode (1000Base-LX) fiber, with compatibility for common connector types like LC or SC.
What Ethernet speeds does this converter handle?
It supports full Gigabit Ethernet speeds at 1000 Mbps, along with backward compatibility for 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps Ethernet. The network technologies include 10/100/1000Base-T over copper and 1000Base-X/SX/LX over fiber, ensuring seamless integration with existing network infrastructure.
How many devices can connect to this media converter?
The NetWaySP1P has one RJ-45 port for copper connection and one SFP slot for fiber connection, allowing conversion between a single copper device and a single fiber link. It functions as a point-to-point media converter rather than a multi-port switch or hub.
What is the warranty for this product?
Altronix provides a lifetime limited warranty for the NetWaySP1P media converter. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the product's lifetime, offering long-term reliability assurance for network infrastructure deployments.
