Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates at Fast Ethernet speeds with a maximum data transfer rate of 100Mbps, supporting both 10/100Base-TX over twisted pair and 100Base-FX over fiber optic connections. The device features three total ports: one PoE+ RJ-45 port that delivers 48V power to connected devices and two SC fiber ports for multi-mode fiber connections.
The conversion capability enables network segments to extend beyond the 100-meter limitation of standard copper Ethernet by utilizing fiber optic cabling, which supports much longer distances without signal degradation. The industrial hardening ensures reliable operation in environments with temperature fluctuations, vibration, or electrical interference that might affect standard networking equipment.

FAQ
What types of media does this converter support?
The ComNet CNFE1003POEMHO/M media converter supports both optical fiber and twisted pair copper cabling. It specifically works with multi-mode fiber optic cables using SC connectors on the fiber side and standard Category 5e or better Ethernet cables with RJ-45 connectors on the copper side. This dual-media support allows you to extend network connections beyond the 100-meter limitation of copper Ethernet by utilizing fiber optic cabling for longer distances.
What is the maximum data transfer rate?
This media converter operates at Fast Ethernet speeds with a maximum data transfer rate of 100Mbps. It supports both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX standards over twisted pair copper connections and 100Base-FX standard over fiber optic connections. The consistent 100Mbps throughput ensures reliable data transmission for industrial control systems, security video streams, and general network traffic between copper and fiber network segments.
How many devices can receive PoE power from this converter?
The media converter includes one PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus) RJ-45 port that can deliver 48V power to a single connected device. This port follows IEEE 802.3at standards and can power compatible devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, or industrial sensors.
