Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter features one standard RJ-45 port for copper Ethernet connections and one Power over Ethernet (PoE) RJ-45 port, allowing it to deliver both data and power to compatible devices like IP cameras or wireless access points. The integrated SFP slot provides flexibility for fiber-optic uplinks, supporting various SFP modules to match distance and bandwidth requirements.
The UACC-AE supports media conversion between twisted pair and optical fiber, enabling cost-effective network extensions up to 100 meters over copper or much longer distances via fiber. Its low power consumption of 1.50 watts makes it an energy-efficient choice for continuous operation in business environments.
Key Product Advantages
The UACC-AE combines media conversion, PoE capability, and compact design into a single device, reducing the need for multiple components in network deployments. Its dual-media support allows seamless integration of fiber-optic backbones with copper-based edge networks, improving scalability and performance.
Flexible Connectivity
The SFP slot accommodates various fiber modules, while the RJ-45 ports handle copper connections, providing adaptable options for different network topologies and distances.
- Supports twisted pair up to 100m
- Accepts standard SFP modules for fiber
Power Efficiency
With only 1.50 watts of power draw, this converter minimizes energy usage and heat output, suitable for deployments where power availability or cooling is limited.
- Low operational cost
- Reduced thermal footprint
Deployment / Use Cases
The Ubiquiti UACC-AE is commonly used to extend network segments beyond the typical 100-meter limit of copper cabling by converting to fiber-optic links. It is also employed to inject PoE to devices in locations where separate power injectors or switches are impractical.
Typical applications include connecting remote offices or buildings via fiber, integrating security cameras or wireless access points with PoE, and upgrading legacy copper networks to hybrid copper-fiber infrastructures without replacing entire cabling systems.
Network Extension
Use the SFP slot with a fiber module to bridge long distances between network switches or routers, overcoming copper cable limitations.
PoE Deployment
Leverage the PoE port to power and connect devices like IP phones or sensors in areas without convenient power outlets.
Physical Profile
The converter's compact dimensions of 3.01 inches square and 1.06 inches deep make it easy to install in tight spaces. Its wall-mountable design includes mounting holes for secure attachment, helping organize cables and reduce clutter in network cabinets or on walls. The lightweight construction at 2.47 ounces ensures minimal load on mounting surfaces.

FAQ
What media types does the UACC-AE transceiver/converter support?
The UACC-AE supports both twisted pair copper cabling and optical fiber. This allows it to convert signals between copper Ethernet (using RJ-45 ports) and fiber-optic connections (via the SFP slot), enabling network extensions beyond the 100-meter limit of copper or integrating fiber backbones.
How many PoE ports does this media converter have, and what can they power?
This converter has one PoE (Power over Ethernet) RJ-45 port. It can deliver both data and power to compatible devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, or sensors, eliminating the need for separate power sources in remote installations.
What is the purpose of the SFP slot in the UACC-AE?
The SFP slot allows you to insert a small form-factor pluggable module for fiber-optic connections. You can choose from various SFP modules (e.g., for single-mode or multimode fiber) to match distance and bandwidth needs, making the converter adaptable to different network environments.
Is the UACC-AE wall-mountable, and what are its dimensions?
Yes, the UACC-AE is designed for wall mounting. Its compact size measures 3.01 inches in height, 3.01 inches in width, and 1.06 inches in depth (76.50 mm x 76.50 mm x 26.80 mm), with a weight of 2.47 ounces (70 g), making it easy to install in space-constrained areas like wiring closets.
