Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates at Gigabit Ethernet speeds, supporting both 10/100/1000Base-T over twisted pair and 1000Base-X over fiber optic connections. The integrated SFP slot accommodates industry-standard SFP transceivers, allowing customization for single-mode or multimode fiber distances based on the installed optic. The PoE port follows IEEE 802.3af/at standards as a PD, drawing up to 1.80 W from a compatible power source while providing network uplink functionality.
Network compatibility spans standard Ethernet protocols, ensuring interoperability with switches, routers, and endpoints across mixed-media topologies. The converter maintains signal integrity across conversions, supporting full-duplex operation and auto-negotiation for plug-and-play deployment. Environmental compliance includes RoHS and WEEE directives, and the unit is TAA compliant for government and regulated procurement.
