Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter delivers full Gigabit Ethernet performance with support for 10/100/1000Base-TX over twisted pair copper and 1000Base-FX over fiber optic connections. The device features a single RJ-45 port that serves dual purposes as both a network connection and a PoE power source, configured as Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) to deliver power to connected devices.
The open SFP slot accepts industry-standard SFP (mini-GBIC) transceiver modules, allowing customization for specific fiber types, distances, and connector requirements. This flexibility enables network engineers to select the appropriate SFP module for their specific deployment scenario, whether using multimode or singlemode fiber with various connector types.
Key Product Advantages
This converter simplifies network expansion by eliminating media compatibility barriers between copper and fiber infrastructure. The integrated PoE PSE functionality allows power delivery to connected devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones while extending network reach through fiber optic connections.
Media Flexibility
Supports both cost-effective twisted pair cables for shorter runs and optical fiber for extended distance requirements, providing deployment options for various network scenarios.
- Twisted pair support up to 100 meters
- Fiber optic compatibility via SFP modules
- Seamless media conversion
Power Integration
The PoE PSE port delivers power alongside data over the same twisted pair connection, reducing cable clutter and installation complexity for powered network devices.
- Single-cable power and data delivery
- PSE configuration for powered devices
- Simplified remote device deployment
Modular Design
The open SFP slot accepts industry-standard transceiver modules, allowing customization for specific fiber types, distances, and connector requirements without replacing the entire converter unit.
- Compatible with standard SFP modules
- Future-proof fiber connectivity
- Easy module replacement and upgrades
Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is particularly valuable in environments where network segments need to transition between copper and fiber media. Common deployment scenarios include extending network connections beyond the 100-meter limitation of standard twisted pair Ethernet, connecting buildings across campus environments, or integrating fiber backbone connections with copper-based edge devices.
The PoE capability makes this converter ideal for powering remote network equipment in locations where local power outlets are unavailable or impractical. Security installations frequently utilize these converters to power IP cameras over extended distances, while enterprise networks deploy them to connect remote switches or access points to fiber backbones.
Building-to-Building Connectivity
Extend network connections between separate buildings using fiber optic cabling for distance immunity to electromagnetic interference while maintaining PoE power delivery to remote devices.
Security System Integration
Power IP cameras and security devices in remote locations while connecting them to central monitoring systems through fiber optic links for reliable, high-bandwidth video transmission.
