PoE/PoE+ PSE Media Converter
The PoE/PoE+ PSE Media Converter not only enables you to connect copper cables to long-distance fiber data links, it also safely powers compatible devices plugged in on the copper side.
Fully compliant with the 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) standard, the converter functions as power source equipment (PSE) to provide -48 VDC power via copper wiring to access points, cameras, and similar devices in areas without nearby power outlets.
For equipment protection, it offers overcurrent and undercurrent detection, as well as fault protection input and power monitoring. It also has powered device signature sensing to detect when a 802.3af compliant device is connected downstream.
The distinct of PoE & PoE+
PoE
Consumes less than 10 Watts (heating) plus PSE power IEEE802.3af Power to field <15.5 Watts.
Input Specifications: 100-240 ±10% VAC, 50/60Hz, 0.5A to 0.2A.
Operating Temperature:+32° to +122° F (0° to +50° C)
PoE+ Giga-basic: Consumes less than 10 Watts (heating) plus PSE power IEEE802.3af/at Power to field <50 Watts (2×24.5 W).
Input Specifications: 100-240 ±10% VAC, 50/60Hz, 1.6A to 0.7A.
Operating Temperature:+32° to +104° F (0° to +40° C)
Powered by PoE switches, mid-span hubs, or other 802.3af power source equipment (PSE). Works as a powered device (PD) that receives its power from the spare pairs of copper data cable
Because the converter is compatible with 802.3af PoE standard, it draws its power via UTP cable connected to a PoE PSE, such as a PoE switch. This setup makes the converter ideal for remote areas of a network without AC power outlets.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that allows both data and power to be transmitted over standard Cat5 copper cable. Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a flexible, cost-effective solution because it carries both data and power over the same Ethernet cable. That enables operators to install and power PoE-enabled remote devices anywhere and Ethernet connection is available. It’s perfect for wireless access points, video surveillance, security cameras, building management, retail video kiosks, and more, making it possible to easily install or move a device with minimum disruption and cost.
