This Ethernet media converter from StarTech.com converts optical data signals to electrical signals. Any standard SFP (small form-factor pluggable) connection can be used for the inbound fibre connection, making it compatible with a range of devices. The unit needs a power supply of 12 to 56V DC, which can be connected via terminal block or coaxial power connectors. This means you can either hardwire the device or power it using an external power supply for flexibility in your setup. A mean time before failure (MTBF) of over 500,000 hours ensures long-lasting and reliable performance.

Single-mode fibre typeSingle-mode fibre carries signals at much higher speeds and up to 50 times greater distances than multi-mode, making it a good choice for demanding signal-transfer applications.
Broad compatibilityThe converter supports speeds of 10Mbps (megabits per second), 100Mbps and 1,000Mbps, so it can be used on different network classes.

• IP30 (ingress protection) rating for protection against objects greater than 2.5mm in size
• Plug-and-play operation for ease of use
• Broad operating temperature range of -40°C to +75°C for use in demanding environments

What is full-duplex mode?Full-duplex mode allows for simultaneous, bi-directional communication between two devices.

This device is ideal for connecting Wi-Fi access points IP phones, surveillance cameras, and kiosks to a network switch when power connection is not available. Small or home offices, server message blocks, system integrators, and IT administrators would also benefit from this injector.

• 1x Industrial Grade Gigabit PoE Injector
• 1x Manual
• Mounting hardware kit
• Terminal block

What is a PoE media converter?

This type of device is used to connect two different network connections together. For example, in this case the converter is being used to convert from fiber to copper network connevctions.
