FAQ
What types of media does this media converter support?
The ComNet CNFE1003POES/M supports both optical fiber (single-mode) and twisted pair copper cabling. It converts signals between these media types, allowing you to extend Ethernet networks beyond the 100-meter limit of copper by using fiber optic runs for longer distances.
How many PoE+ ports does it have and what voltage?
This converter has one PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus) RJ-45 port that delivers 48V of power, compliant with IEEE 802.3at standards. This port can power compatible devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones, eliminating the need for separate power sources at remote locations.
What is the data transfer rate of this media converter?
It supports Fast Ethernet with a data transfer rate of up to 100Mbps. This includes 10/100Base-TX over twisted pair copper and 100Base-FX over single-mode fiber optic cabling, ensuring consistent performance across both media types for seamless network integration.
Is this media converter managed or unmanaged?
The CNFE1003POES/M is an unmanaged media converter, meaning it operates as a transparent bridge without configuration or management interfaces. This makes it ideal for simple plug-and-play deployments where ease of use and reliability are priorities over advanced network controls.
