Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates with 10/100Base-TX Fast Ethernet technology, delivering up to 100 Mbps data transfer rates over twisted pair connections. The fiber interface supports single-mode optical fiber with dual wavelengths of 1310 nm and 1550 nm, enabling long-distance transmission up to 20 km (12.43 miles) with minimal signal loss.
The unit features a total of three ports: two RJ-45 ports that provide 60W PoE++ power per port (PD type) for connected devices, and one ST simplex port for fiber connectivity. This configuration allows simultaneous data conversion and power delivery, reducing the need for separate power supplies at remote endpoints.
This section brings together practical product details such as Total Number of Ports, Network (RJ-45), Number of 60W PoE (RJ-45) Ports, Media Type Supported, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is engineered for scenarios requiring both network extension and remote device powering. Its combination of fiber conversion and PoE++ makes it particularly valuable in environments where electrical infrastructure is limited or where long-distance signal integrity is critical.
Common applications include connecting IP surveillance cameras across large facilities, extending network access to remote wireless access points in campus settings, and linking network segments between buildings in industrial parks. The converter's compact form factor allows for flexible mounting in network cabinets, wall boxes, or equipment rooms.
Surveillance and Security
Power and connect IP cameras over long distances using fiber backbone, with PoE++ supporting high-power cameras and heaters.
Campus Network Extension
Bridge network segments between buildings with fiber, while providing PoE to access points or phones at remote locations.
Physical Profile
The converter measures 3.70" (93.98 mm) wide, 4.10" (104.14 mm) deep, and 1.10" (27.94 mm) high, making it compact enough for space-constrained installations. Its environmentally friendly design and lifetime warranty reflect robust construction for continuous operation in commercial and industrial settings.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.10" (27.94 mm), 3.70" (93.98 mm), 4.10" (104.14 mm). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What types of network connections does this media converter support?
This converter supports Fast Ethernet (10/100Base-TX) over both twisted pair copper via its two RJ-45 ports and single-mode fiber optic via its ST simplex port. It converts between these media types, allowing network extension up to 20 kilometers over fiber while maintaining 100 Mbps data rates.
How much PoE power does each RJ-45 port provide?
Each of the two RJ-45 ports delivers up to 60W of PoE++ power, following the PD (Powered Device) standard. This high power output supports devices like PTZ cameras, wireless access points with multiple radios, or other equipment requiring substantial power over Ethernet.
What is the maximum distance supported over fiber?
The converter supports fiber optic transmission up to 20 kilometers (12.43 miles) when using single-mode fiber with 1310 nm or 1550 nm wavelengths. This long reach makes it suitable for connecting network segments across large campuses, industrial sites, or between buildings.
What type of fiber connector does this converter use?
It uses one ST simplex connector for fiber connectivity. ST connectors are common in single-mode fiber installations and provide reliable, stable connections for long-distance network links.
Does this converter require external power?
Yes, the converter is powered by an included AC adapter. The adapter provides power for the converter itself and for the PoE++ output to connected devices via the RJ-45 ports.
What are the physical dimensions of this unit?
The converter measures 3.70 inches (93.98 mm) wide, 4.10 inches (104.14 mm) deep, and 1.10 inches (27.94 mm) high. Its compact size allows for flexible installation in network cabinets, wall mounts, or equipment racks.
