Power Over Ethernet (POE) - Gigabit Media Converter - Accepts (x1) SFP Module

The Fibertronics, Inc.’s POE-201P Power Over Ethernet to Fiber Optic Gigabit Media Converter is a 10/100/1000Base-T to 1000Based-SX/LX (SC/LC) Base-TX design. This allows two types of network segments to be connected easily and inexpensively.

Constructed in accordance with the IEEE802.3af Power Over Ethernet Standard, this AC powered PoE media converter is a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) which combines data received over a TP link with 48V DC power, providing power to IEEE802.3af powered device (PD) over an existing CAT5 UTP cable.

The LFP (Link Fault Pass-through) allows the media converter to monitor both the fiber and copper RX ports for loss of signal. In case of a loss of RX signal on one media port, the converter will automatically disable the TX signal to the other media port, thus passing through the link fault.

FEF (Far End Fault) enables the converter to stop sending link pulse to the link partner once a loss of the fiber RX signal is encountered. Then the link partner will synchronously stop sending data. FEF prevents loss of valuable data transmitted over invalid link. By combining LFP and FEF troubleshooting features both end devices can be notified of a loss of fiber link.

A media converter is merely a device that can be plugged in and operated, but when connected to the network it must take account of certain factors. In accordance with the media converter port, the end face of the fiber patch cable should be the same. Ensure that wavelengths and speed rates are identical at both ends of the media converter. Be precise as to whether the converter supports full-duplex or half-duplex transmission and make sure to maintain the operating temperature range. Installation of a media converter should be done in a flat, secure location. Make sure that there's enough room for ventilation around the converter.
