PoE PSE Media Converter not only connects
100BASE-FX fiber to 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX copper, but it also
functions as power source equipment (PSE) in Power over Ethernet
(PoE) applications.
PoE enables you to provide power over the spare pairs of an
Ethernet data cable to compatible PoE-powered devices (PDs). These
can be wireless access points, CCTV security cameras, or VoIP phones.
The PoE PSE Media Converter works as an endpoint PSE that delivers
-48-VDC power via twisted-pair cable Pins 1, 2, 3, and 6.
Using a single cable to deliver both data and power gives you
added flexibility. It’s particularly beneficial in areas where you’re short
on AC power outlets, and it eliminates the need to run separate AC
power circuits to devices at the edge of your LAN.
In a typical PoE application, you’d use the PoE PSE Media
Converter to convert copper and fiber in order to extend your data
runs at long distances over interference-free, signal-enhancing optical
cable. Then, at the end of the fiber run, you would use a remote
management PC or security station to communicate with the PoE
devices plugged into the converter.
The converter gets its power from an autosensing AC power
supply that plugs into a standard outlet.
Compatible with the 802.3af PoE standard, the PoE PSE Media
Converter features an advanced autosensing algorithm that enables
it to provide PDs with discovery, classification, current limit, and other
necessary functions.
OVERVIEW
For PoE-side PD links, simply run a twisted-pair cable to compatible
equipment. The converter supports 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX media.
Or set it up to adapt to the speed of the Ethernet or Fast Ethernet
connection, and use it in an existing switch, bridge, or router
application.
The media converter offers overcurrent and undercurrent
detection, as well as fault protection input and power monitoring.
LEDs inform you if PoE feeding power is disrupted and the class of PD
connected (4-W Class 1, 7-W Class 2, or 15.4-W Class 0 or 3 device).
PD signature sensing detects when a 802.3af-compliant PD is
connected downstream. This helps protect non-802.3af legacy
devices that may be accidentally connected to the converter.
On the fiber side, the media converter connects to 1310-nm
100BASE-FX media. Depending on the model you order, this can be
multimode fiber optic cable with ST or SC type connectors or single-
mode cable terminated with SC type connectors. The multimode PoE
PSE Media Converter models support full duplex fiber runs up to 2
kilometers (1.2 mi.) long, and the single-mode model supports full
duplex fiber segments as far as 20 kilometers (12.4 mi.).
Link-fault passthrough and far-end fault detection keep you from
sending valuable data across invalid links. Link status on one port is
propagated to the other port. If either the twisted-pair or the fiber
optic port is in link-fail state—if it’s unplugged, for instance—the
converter disables the other port, thus passing through the link fault.
The converter also stops sending link pulse to the link partner if it
detects loss of a fiber RX signal.
Extend the distance between copper PoE devices up to 1.2 miles (2 km) using multimode fiber optic cable or
62.1 miles (100 km) via single-mode fiber optic cable—and power the devices connected to the copper cable.
