Key Product Advantages
The ADD-FMC-SFP-POE simplifies network extension by converting between copper and fiber media while delivering PoE power through a single compact device. This eliminates the need for separate power injectors and media converters in PoE deployment scenarios.
Flexible Media Support
Works with both multi-mode and single-mode fiber cables through SFP transceivers, plus standard twisted pair copper connections.
- Choose appropriate fiber type for distance needs
- Maintain copper connectivity where required
PoE Integration
The built-in PoE PSE port powers compatible devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones directly through the network connection.
- Eliminates separate power sources
- Simplifies installation of remote devices
Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is ideal for extending network segments beyond the 100-meter limitation of copper Ethernet cables. By converting to fiber optic connections, it enables reliable data transmission over longer distances while maintaining PoE capability for powered devices.
Common applications include connecting buildings across campuses, linking network equipment in industrial environments, or extending surveillance networks to remote camera locations. The converter's compact size and versatile power options make it suitable for both rack-mounted and standalone installations in telecom closets, industrial control panels, or outdoor enclosures.
Building-to-Building Connectivity
Extend networks between separate structures using fiber for immunity to electrical interference and longer reach.
PoE Device Deployment
Power and connect IP cameras, access points, or other PoE devices in locations where only fiber infrastructure is available.
