Description
Omnitron Systems 10/100 Media Converter with Power over Ethernet – 1 x Network (RJ-45) – Fast Ethernet – 100Base-X, 10/100Base-T – 2 x Expansion Slots – SFP – 2 x SFP Slots – AC Adapter – Rail-mountable, Rack-mountable, Wall Mountable
The OmniConverter FPoE/SL, FPoE/S and FPoE+/S are multi-port media converters that convert 10/100BASE-T copper to 100BASE-X fiber and support Power-over-Ethernet (PoE and PoE+). Classified as Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), they provide power to one or two Powered Devices (PDs) using standard UTP cables that carry the Ethernet data.
The OmniConverter FPoE/SL is a cost-effective media converter that provides up to 15.40W PoE (IEEE 802.3af) per RJ-45 port and supports frame sizes up to 2,000 bytes.
The OmniConverter FPoE/S provides up to 15.40W PoE (IEEE 802.3af) per RJ-45 port and supports frame sizes up to 10,240 bytes.
The OmniConverter FPoE+/S provides up to 34.20W PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) per RJ-45 port and supports frame sizes up to 10,240 bytes. The FPoE+/S powers the more demanding PDs such as outdoor PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras and mutli-band, multi-stream wireless WiFi access points.
Models with two fiber ports support redundant fiber uplinks for critical applications that require protection and sub 50ms restoration in the event of a fiber failure. The second fiber port may also be used to cascade multiple media converters, or it may be used as another switch port.
Configurable features include link modes and a PoE power reset function that enables a PD device to be re-initialized remotely. When a problem with a PD is identified, the fiber port on a managed switch can be shut down or disconnected, enabling the PoE power reset function on the OmniConverter. The PoE power to the PD is disabled for 2 seconds when a loss of receive fiber link is detected by the OmniConverter, eliminating the need for costly truck rolls to remote PD sites.
Link modes can be configured to propagate loss-of-link faults to managed devices, immediately notifying administrators of network outages.
OmniConverter media converters support fixed-fiber connectors and Small Form Pluggable (SFP) transceivers, enabling easy adaptability to different fiber types, distances and wavelengths. They support multimode and single-mode dual fiber; and single-mode single-fiber, in standard and CWDM wavelengths.
The compact standalone OmniConverter media converters can be tabletop mounted, wall mounted, or DIN-rail mounted using an optional DIN-rail mounting kit. They can also be mounted on a 1U 19″ rack-mount shelf. They are available with DC power input via terminal connectors or external 100 to 240V AC power adapters.
