- Works with existing SFP modules
- No proprietary transceiver required
- Simplifies fiber type transitions
Dual Mounting Options
Designed for industrial installations, the converter includes hardware for both DIN rail and wall mounting. The compact dimensions (under 2.3" deep) conserve space in control panels, network cabinets, and equipment enclosures.
- Includes mounting hardware
- Saves panel space
- Secure industrial attachment
Deployment / Use Cases
This industrial media converter extends fiber networks to copper endpoints while providing power to connected devices. It's ideal for environments where fiber backbone infrastructure needs to connect to copper-based equipment with power requirements.
Common applications include industrial automation systems, security camera networks, building management systems, and transportation infrastructure. The device enables fiber runs to remote locations where PoE-powered devices like IP cameras, sensors, or wireless access points require both data connectivity and power.
Security & Surveillance
Extend fiber backbone to remote camera locations while delivering PoE+ power. The industrial housing protects against environmental factors in outdoor or harsh indoor installations.
- Powers PTZ and thermal cameras
- Extends fiber beyond copper limits
- Withstands outdoor conditions
Industrial Automation
Connect fiber-optic plant networks to copper-based PLCs, HMIs, and sensors. The wide temperature range ensures operation in unheated facilities or near process equipment.
- Links control rooms to floor devices
- Survives manufacturing environments
- Provides isolated fiber connectivity
Physical Profile
The media converter features a compact aluminum housing with IP-30 protection against dust and limited moisture exposure. With dimensions of 1.90" × 1.40" × 2.30" and weight under 3 ounces, it occupies minimal space in industrial enclosures while providing robust construction for vibration-prone environments.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.90" (48.26 mm), 1.40" (35.56 mm), 2.30" (58.42 mm), 2.80 oz (79.38 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

User Manual
FAQ
What types of fiber does this media converter support?
The IMC1GSFP30W supports both multimode and singlemode fiber through its open SFP slot. You can use any MSA-compliant SFP transceiver, allowing flexibility to match your existing fiber infrastructure. This means you're not locked into proprietary transceivers and can choose the appropriate fiber type for your distance and bandwidth requirements.
How much PoE power does this converter provide?
This media converter delivers up to 30W of PoE+ power, compliant with IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards. The 30W output supports power-hungry devices like PTZ cameras, wireless access points, and industrial sensors while maintaining Gigabit data throughput. Power is supplied through the single RJ-45 port to connected powered devices.
What are the power input options for this device?
You have two power input methods: terminal block wiring (48-56VDC) for permanent installations or a Type-N barrel connector for adapter-based power. The terminal block accepts three-wire connections for secure industrial power, while the barrel connector option uses a standard 48-56VDC wall adapter (not included). This flexibility accommodates different deployment scenarios.
Is this media converter suitable for outdoor use?
With its IP-30 rated aluminum housing and operating temperature range of -40°C to 75°C, this converter is designed for harsh environments but isn't fully waterproof. It's ideal for industrial indoor settings, protected outdoor enclosures, or locations with dust and limited moisture exposure. For fully exposed outdoor installations, additional weatherproofing of the enclosure is recommended.
What mounting options are included?
The package includes hardware for both DIN rail and wall mounting. The compact design (1.90"H × 1.40"W × 2.30"D) fits standard DIN rails in control panels or can be securely mounted to walls in equipment rooms. All necessary screws, brackets, and the terminal block for power connections are provided in the box.
What warranty and support does StarTech.com provide?
