Product Features
Technical Overview
Built on Fast Ethernet (10/100Base-TX) technology, the converter supports data rates up to 100 Mbps over twisted pair and fiber. It operates with multi-mode fiber using 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths, ensuring compatibility with standard fiber infrastructure. The device features two RJ-45 PoE+ ports configured as Powered Devices (PD), allowing it to receive power from a PoE switch or injector, plus one ST simplex fiber port for optical connectivity.
The converter's design emphasizes reliability and ease of integration, with an AC adapter for consistent power input. Its environmental certifications and lifetime warranty reflect a focus on durability and long-term performance in diverse networking applications.
Key Product Advantages
This media converter combines fiber extension with PoE+ power delivery, reducing the need for separate power supplies at remote endpoints. Its dual-channel design supports multiple devices over a single fiber link, optimizing infrastructure efficiency.
Extended Network Reach
Convert copper Ethernet to fiber optic signals to overcome distance limitations, enabling reliable connectivity up to 3 kilometers without signal degradation.
- Eliminates copper distance constraints
- Maintains data integrity over long runs
Integrated PoE+ Power
Deliver both data and power over standard Ethernet cables to connected devices, simplifying installation and reducing cabling complexity.
- Powers IP cameras, access points, phones
- Reduces AC outlet requirements
Deployment / Use Cases
Ideal for extending network segments in environments where fiber optic cabling is necessary for distance, noise immunity, or security. Common applications include connecting remote buildings, industrial control systems, or outdoor surveillance setups where copper Ethernet falls short.
The PoE+ capability makes it particularly useful for powering network devices in hard-to-reach locations, such as ceiling-mounted access points or perimeter security cameras. Its compact size allows for flexible mounting in telecom closets, enclosures, or direct wall installation.
Surveillance and Security
Extend network connectivity to IP cameras over fiber while providing power through PoE+, enabling centralized monitoring of large facilities or outdoor areas.
Industrial Networking
Bridge between copper-based control systems and fiber backbone networks in manufacturing plants or utilities, ensuring reliable communication in electrically noisy environments.
Physical Profile
The converter measures 3.70" (93.98 mm) wide, 4.10" (104.14 mm) deep, and 1.10" (27.94 mm) high, offering a compact footprint for space-constrained installations. Its design supports stable operation in various orientations, with clear port labeling for straightforward cable management.
