Reliable Fiber Extension with PoE for Small to Medium Networks
If you’re looking to bridge a fiber optic backbone with copper Ethernet devices while also delivering power over the same cable, this unmanaged fiber to copper media converter with PoE is a straightforward solution. It’s designed for IT admins and system integrators who need to extend network reach beyond the 100-meter limit of copper, especially in video surveillance deployments or retail environments where IP cameras are placed far from the main switch.
The converter features two 10/100Mbps PoE ports, each capable of delivering up to 25.4W following IEEE 802.3af/at standards. That means you can connect PoE cameras, access points, or VoIP phones directly without extra power injectors. The single SC fiber port (100Base-X) provides a reliable uplink to your core network, supporting distances from 550m on multimode up to 100km on single-mode fiber. With a built-in DIP switch for VLAN isolation, you can separate the two Ethernet ports to reduce broadcast storms and improve security—a handy feature when connecting devices in different zones.
Installation is truly plug-and-play. No configuration needed—just connect the fiber, plug in your PoE devices, and power on. The metal housing ensures good heat dissipation, making it suitable for 24/7 operation in environments like hotels, supermarkets, and small offices. For maintenance staff, the LED indicators clearly show link status and PoE activity, so troubleshooting is quick.
