Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates at Fast Ethernet speeds, supporting both 10/100Base-TX over twisted pair and 100Base-FX over fiber optic connections. The unit features one PoE+ enabled RJ-45 port that can power compatible devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones, and one ST connector for multi-mode fiber optic cable termination.
The converter maintains signal integrity across media types while providing electrical isolation between copper and fiber segments. This isolation helps protect sensitive network equipment from ground loops, voltage surges, and electromagnetic interference commonly found in industrial settings.
This section brings together practical product details such as Total Number of Ports, Network (RJ-45), DVI, Media Type Supported, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
The CNFE1002APOEM/M combines media conversion with power delivery in a single industrially hardened package. This dual functionality reduces installation complexity and equipment count in deployments where both network extension and remote device power are required.
Industrial Durability
Built to withstand harsh environmental conditions with enhanced protection against temperature extremes, vibration, and electrical noise.
- Extended operational lifespan
- Reduced maintenance requirements
- Suitable for uncontrolled environments
Power Integration
The integrated PoE+ capability eliminates the need for separate power injectors or local power sources at remote device locations.
- Simplified cabling
- Reduced installation costs
- Centralized power management
Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is particularly valuable in industrial automation, security surveillance, and transportation infrastructure where network signals need to traverse longer distances or electrically noisy environments. The fiber optic connection enables reliable data transmission up to 2 kilometers while the PoE+ functionality powers remote devices without additional infrastructure.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting IP cameras in parking lots or perimeter security systems, extending network connectivity between buildings in campus environments, and integrating remote sensors in manufacturing facilities. The rail-mountable design makes it suitable for DIN rail installation in control panels or network enclosures where space is limited.
Security & Surveillance
Extend network connectivity to remote IP cameras while providing both data and power through a single cable run.
Industrial Automation
Connect PLCs, sensors, and control devices across manufacturing floors while maintaining signal integrity in electrically noisy environments.
Physical Profile
The converter features a compact design measuring 1" (25.40 mm) in height, 3.70" (93.98 mm) in width, and 4" (101.60 mm) in depth. The rail-mountable form factor includes mounting hardware for standard DIN rails, allowing for organized installation in industrial control panels or network cabinets. The small footprint conserves valuable rack space while providing full media conversion and PoE+ functionality.

FAQ
What types of media does this converter support?
The ComNet CNFE1002APOEM/M media converter supports both twisted pair copper Ethernet (RJ-45) and multi-mode fiber optic (ST connector) media types. This allows you to convert signals between standard Ethernet cabling and fiber optic connections, enabling longer distance network extensions while maintaining data integrity.
How many devices can receive PoE+ power from this converter?
This media converter features one PoE+ enabled RJ-45 port that can deliver up to 48V of power to a single connected device. The PoE+ capability follows IEEE 802.3at standards and can power compatible devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones without requiring separate power sources at the remote location.
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported?
The converter operates at Fast Ethernet speeds, supporting data transfer rates up to 100Mbps. It is compatible with both 10/100Base-TX over twisted pair copper and 100Base-FX over fiber optic connections, providing consistent performance across different media types while maintaining network compatibility with standard Ethernet equipment.
How is this media converter mounted during installation?
The CNFE1002APOEM/M features a rail-mountable form factor designed for installation on standard DIN rails. This mounting method is common in industrial control panels, network cabinets, and equipment racks. The compact dimensions (1"H x 3.70"W x 4"D) allow for efficient use of space while providing easy access to both RJ-45 and ST fiber ports.
What makes this converter 'industrially hardened'?
Industrial hardening refers to enhanced construction and component selection that allows the converter to operate reliably in demanding environments. This includes protection against temperature extremes, vibration, electrical noise, and other conditions commonly found in industrial settings. The hardened design extends operational lifespan and reduces maintenance requirements compared to standard commercial-grade converters.
