Product Features
Technical Overview
The F-POE-G2 operates at Gigabit Ethernet speeds with support for both 1000Base-T (copper) and 1000Base-X (fiber) network technologies. This dual-media capability allows network administrators to extend copper networks using fiber optic cabling for longer distance runs or to connect fiber backbone segments to copper-based edge devices.
The integrated SFP slot accepts standard SFP (mini-GBIC) transceivers, providing flexibility in fiber optic connector types and distance requirements. The device maintains full Gigabit throughput regardless of media type, ensuring consistent network performance across mixed infrastructure deployments.
Key Product Advantages
The F-POE-G2 simplifies network expansion by converting between fiber and copper media while providing power delivery through its PoE port. This combination reduces the need for separate power injectors and media converters, streamlining installation and reducing points of failure in network designs.
Dual Media Support
Simultaneously supports both twisted pair copper and optical fiber connections, enabling seamless integration of fiber backbone segments with copper-based network equipment.
- Eliminates media compatibility barriers
- Extends network reach using fiber optics
- Maintains copper connectivity where needed
Integrated PoE
The built-in Power over Ethernet port delivers both data and power to compatible devices, reducing cable clutter and simplifying installations for PoE-enabled endpoints.
- Powers IP cameras, access points, or VoIP phones
- Eliminates separate power injectors
- Simplifies remote device deployment
Deployment / Use Cases
The F-POE-G2 excels in scenarios requiring media conversion between fiber optic and copper Ethernet networks. Its compact form factor and flexible power options make it suitable for both permanent installations and temporary network extensions.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting fiber backbone segments to copper-based switches or routers, extending network reach beyond copper distance limitations using fiber optic cabling, and providing both connectivity and power to remote network devices through the integrated PoE port.
Network Extension
Extend copper Ethernet networks beyond the 100-meter limitation by converting to fiber optic cabling for longer distance runs between buildings or across large facilities.
PoE Device Connectivity
Deploy PoE-enabled devices like security cameras or wireless access points in locations where both fiber connectivity and remote power delivery are required.
