Product Features
Technical Overview
This transceiver operates as a media converter, translating signals between twisted pair Ethernet and coaxial cable. It features three ports: one PoE-enabled RJ-45 port for powering connected devices like IP cameras, one network RJ-45 port for data uplink, and one coaxial port for legacy cabling. The device supports IEEE 802.3af (15W) and IEEE 802.3at (30W) PoE standards, delivering power and data over a single cable.
Performance-wise, it handles Fast Ethernet (10/100Base-T) traffic, with a maximum distance of 0.5 km (500 meters) over CAT5e or 300 meters over coaxial cable. The hardened construction ensures durability in harsh conditions, while auto-detection mechanisms prevent damage to non-PoE equipment. Compliance with UL and CE standards guarantees safety and interoperability in North American and European markets.
