Product Features
Technical Overview
The converter operates at a wavelength of 850 nm over multi-mode fiber, supporting a maximum distance of 0.55 km (0.34 miles). It uses LC connectors for fiber optic connections and RJ-45 ports for twisted pair cabling, ensuring compatibility with standard network infrastructure.
The integrated PoE+ port functions as a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) port, providing up to 60 W of power to compatible devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones. This eliminates the need for separate power supplies at remote locations.
Key Product Advantages
This media converter simplifies network expansion by allowing the use of cost-effective twisted pair cables for short runs and fiber optic cables for longer distances. The inclusion of PoE+ reduces cabling complexity and installation costs for powered devices.
Media Flexibility
Supports both twisted pair and optical fiber, enabling hybrid network designs that leverage the strengths of each media type.
- Twisted pair for up to 100 meters
- Multi-mode fiber for up to 0.55 km
Power Integration
The PoE+ port delivers data and power over a single cable, streamlining deployments for edge devices.
- PSE port type
- Up to 60 W power consumption
Deployment / Use Cases
This converter is ideal for extending network reach beyond the limitations of copper cabling. It is commonly used in scenarios where fiber optic backbone connections need to interface with copper-based edge devices.
Typical applications include connecting remote IP cameras or wireless access points in industrial settings, linking buildings across a campus with fiber runs, or integrating legacy copper equipment into modern fiber optic networks. The PoE+ capability makes it particularly useful for powering devices in locations without convenient power outlets.
