Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates on 10/100Base-TX network technology, providing a maximum data transfer rate of 100 Mbps over twisted pair cables. The PoE+ ports function as Powered Devices (PD), receiving power from an upstream switch or injector to supply connected endpoints. The fiber interface uses Simplex ST connectors, which are widely deployed in enterprise and industrial environments for their durability and secure connection.
The converter supports both optical fiber and twisted pair media, enabling flexible deployment in mixed-cable networks. Its multi-mode fiber compatibility ensures cost-effective integration with existing fiber runs, while the 3 km distance support extends network segments beyond copper limitations.
Key Product Advantages
This converter simplifies network expansion by combining media conversion and PoE+ delivery in a single unit. The dual PoE+ ports reduce cabling complexity and power infrastructure costs, while the fiber uplink ensures signal integrity over long distances.
Extended Reach
Convert copper Ethernet to fiber optic to overcome the 100-meter limit of twisted pair, supporting reliable connections up to 3 km.
- Eliminates signal degradation over distance
- Maintains data integrity in harsh environments
Power Integration
Deliver both data and power over a single cable to remote devices, streamlining installation and reducing outlet requirements.
- Supports IEEE 802.3at PoE+ standard
- Powers two devices simultaneously
Deployment / Use Cases
The CNFE2002M1APOE/M is ideal for extending network segments in environments where copper cabling is insufficient. Common applications include connecting remote security cameras in parking lots or perimeter fencing, linking wireless access points across large campuses, or integrating industrial equipment in manufacturing facilities.
In surveillance deployments, this converter can power IP cameras while transmitting video feeds back to a central NVR over fiber. For wireless networks, it enables access point placement in distant buildings without sacrificing bandwidth. The compact form factor and AC adapter power make it suitable for wall-mount or desktop installation in telecom closets, control rooms, or equipment racks.
Surveillance Systems
Extend camera networks beyond copper limits while providing PoE+ to each camera, reducing power infrastructure at remote sites.
Campus Networking
Connect buildings across a campus with fiber backbone links, using PoE+ to power access points or phones in distant locations.
Physical Profile
The converter measures 3.70" wide by 4.10" deep by 1.10" high (93.98 mm x 104.14 mm x 27.94 mm), making it compact enough for space-constrained installations. Its sturdy construction supports desktop placement or optional rack-mounting with accessory kits. The unit is environmentally friendly and manufactured in the United States, backed by a lifetime limited warranty for long-term reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this media converter?
The ComNet CNFE2002M1APOE/M supports Fast Ethernet speeds up to 100 Mbps (10/100Base-TX). This provides sufficient bandwidth for typical applications like IP surveillance, VoIP, and basic data transfer, making it suitable for extending network segments without requiring Gigabit infrastructure.
How many devices can be powered by the PoE+ ports?
This converter has two PoE+ ports, each capable of delivering up to 30W of power. It can simultaneously power two compatible devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones, eliminating the need for separate power supplies at remote locations.
What type of fiber optic cable is compatible with this converter?
The converter is compatible with multi-mode fiber optic cable using Simplex ST connectors. It supports wavelengths of 1310 nm and 1550 nm, which are standard for multi-mode deployments, and can transmit data up to 3 kilometers over fiber.
What is the difference between Simplex and Duplex ST ports?
This converter uses a Simplex ST port, which means it has a single fiber strand for transmitting data in one direction at a time (typically used with separate transmit and receive fibers in a pair). Duplex ports have two strands in one connector for simultaneous bidirectional communication. Simplex is common in media converters for cost-effective point-to-point links.
Can this converter be used in outdoor environments?
The converter is designed for indoor use with an operating temperature range of 0°C to 50°C. For outdoor deployments, it must be installed in a protected enclosure such as a weatherproof box or telecom cabinet to shield it from moisture, dust, and temperature extremes.
What is included in the box with this media converter?
The converter typically includes the unit itself and an AC power adapter. Mounting brackets or rack ears may be available as optional accessories. For specific package contents, refer to the product listing or manufacturer documentation, as configurations can vary.
