Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ Media Converter: 10/100/1000Base-T PoE+ RJ-45 Port with 100/1000Base-X SFP Slot
This cost-effective Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter facilitates seamless media conversion between 10/100/1000Base-T and 100/1000Base-SX/LX ports. Its fixed configuration allows for easy plug-and-play installation, making it perfect for space-constrained environments. Operating at Layer 2, the data link layer, this media converter not only transforms copper connections to fiber optics but also offers rate conversion, enabling legacy 10/100 copper devices to interface with 1000Base-SX/LX fiber networks.
Beyond copper-to-fiber conversion, this media converter serves as Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), integrating 56VDC power input with data received over fiber optics to supply both power and data to a Powered Device (PD) via twisted pair cable. It adheres to IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at PoE+ standards, allowing users to leverage the advantages of fiber cabling alongside Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) technology.
With PoE support, this converter is capable of transmitting both data and power to devices such as VoIP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points. This is particularly beneficial for deploying such devices in remote network areas where only fiber optic cabling is accessible.
