Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates at Gigabit Ethernet speeds with full support for 10/100/1000Base-T auto-negotiation on the copper side and 1000BASE-SX on the fiber side. The SC fiber connector interface provides reliable multi-mode fiber connectivity with 1310nm wavelength transmission, maintaining signal quality across distances up to 2 kilometers.
The Power over Ethernet Plus functionality follows IEEE 802.3at standards, with the single RJ45 port configured as Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE). This allows the converter to detect and power compatible PD (Powered Device) equipment while simultaneously transmitting data. The AC power input ensures stable operation without relying on network power sources.
Key Product Advantages
This media converter combines fiber extension capabilities with power delivery in a single compact unit, reducing installation complexity and equipment costs. The dual-media support enables seamless integration between existing copper infrastructure and fiber backbone networks.
Extended Network Reach
Convert copper Ethernet to fiber optic transmission to overcome distance limitations of twisted pair cabling while maintaining full Gigabit performance.
- Extends network segments up to 2 kilometers
- Maintains signal integrity over longer distances
- Eliminates electromagnetic interference concerns
Integrated Power Delivery
The PoE+ port provides both data connectivity and power to compatible devices, simplifying remote equipment installation.
- Delivers up to 30W of power
- Eliminates separate power supplies
- Supports IEEE 802.3at standards
Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is ideal for extending network connectivity between buildings, across campuses, or in industrial environments where electromagnetic interference or distance limitations make traditional copper cabling impractical. The PoE+ capability makes it particularly valuable for powering remote network devices without requiring local AC power access.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting security camera systems across large properties, extending wireless network coverage to outdoor areas, linking separate building networks in educational or corporate campuses, and integrating fiber backbone connections with copper-based access layer equipment. The converter's compact form factor allows for flexible installation in network cabinets, wall mounts, or equipment rooms.
Building-to-Building Connectivity
Connect network segments between separate structures using fiber optic cabling for superior distance performance and electrical isolation.
Remote Device Powering
Deploy IP cameras, wireless access points, or other PoE+ devices in locations without convenient power outlets.

FAQ
What types of fiber cable does this media converter support?
This converter supports multi-mode fiber optic cables with SC connectors. It operates at 1310nm wavelength, which is standard for multi-mode fiber applications. The device is compatible with 50/125μm or 62.5/125μm multi-mode fiber cables commonly used in enterprise network environments.
How much power does the PoE+ port deliver?
The PoE+ port delivers up to 30 watts of power following IEEE 802.3at standards. This sufficient power supports devices like wireless access points, IP cameras with heaters, or multi-radio devices that require more power than standard PoE can provide. The port automatically detects compatible Powered Devices and negotiates power delivery.
What is the maximum distance supported over fiber?
This media converter supports fiber optic transmission distances up to 2 kilometers (approximately 1.24 miles) when using multi-mode fiber. This extended reach makes it suitable for connecting network segments between buildings or across large facilities where traditional copper Ethernet would exceed its 100-meter limitation.
What network speeds does this converter support?
The converter supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds (1000Mbps) on both copper and fiber interfaces. On the copper side, it auto-negotiates between 10/100/1000Base-T connections. On the fiber side, it operates at 1000BASE-SX specification. This ensures full Gigabit performance across the converted connection without speed bottlenecks.
