FAQ
What types of network connections does this media converter support?
The ComNet CNFE1005POEM/M supports 10/100Base-TX Ethernet over twisted pair copper cable on the RJ-45 port and converts it to 100Base-FX signals over multi-mode fiber optic cable through the ST ports. This enables extension of Ethernet networks beyond the 100-meter limitation of standard copper cabling while maintaining Fast Ethernet performance.
How many devices can receive PoE power from this converter?
This media converter features one PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus) RJ-45 port that delivers 48V power compliant with IEEE 802.3at standards. The single PoE+ port can power one compatible device such as an IP camera, wireless access point, or VoIP phone, eliminating the need for separate power supplies at remote installation locations.
What fiber connector types are supported?
The converter includes two ST-type fiber optic ports specifically designed for multi-mode fiber connections. ST connectors provide secure bayonet-style coupling that is widely used in industrial and commercial applications for reliable fiber optic connectivity with good insertion loss characteristics and durability in challenging environments.
How is this media converter mounted in industrial settings?
The CNFE1005POEM/M features a rail-mountable form factor designed for installation on standard DIN rails commonly found in industrial control panels, server racks, and telecommunications enclosures. The compact dimensions of 1" × 3.70" × 4" allow efficient use of space while the rugged construction ensures reliable operation in environments with vibration, temperature variations, or electrical interference.
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported?
This media converter operates at Fast Ethernet speeds with a maximum data transfer rate of 100Mbps.
