Description
Omnitron Systems OmniConverter Managed Gigabit PoE+, SM SC, RJ-45, Ethernet Fiber Switch – 8 x 10/100/1000BASE-T, 1 x 1000BASE-X, DC Power, 5 Year Warranty
The OmniConverter GPoE+/M is a compact managed PoE and PoE+ Ethernet fiber switch that features one or two Gigabit fiber ports and four or eight 10/100/1000 RJ-45 copper Power Sourcing Power-over-Ethernet ports. The GPoE+/M enables network distance extension with fiber cabling and provides PoE+ power to all RJ-45 ports.
The OmniConverter GPoE+/M is a standard Layer 2 Ethernet switch that forwards frames to any port based on their MAC address.
The OmniConverter GPoE+/M supports Directed Switch mode, which directs multicast traffic (such as video) only to the appropriate fiber port, preventing the multicast video traffic from flooding other network ports.
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 daisy-chain multiple Ethernet switches, or it may be used as another switch port.
Models with two fiber ports also support Dual Device mode that enables the GPoE+/M to operate as two independent and isolated Ethernet switches. In Dual Device mode, the GPoE+/M provides separate and independent data traffic paths between the two fiber links and four or eight RJ-45 ports.
The GPoE+/M modes of operation can be configured using easily accessible DIP-switches or using Web, Telnet, SSH or Serial Console management interfaces. The GPoE+/M supports in-band and out-of-band management. In-band management is provided by accessing the module through any of the Ethernet RJ-45 or fiber ports and supports IP-based web, Telnet, SSH and SNMPv1/v2c management interfaces. Out-of-band management is provided by accessing the serial console port. Omnitron’s NetOutlook SMNP software can be used for real-time alarm reporting and monitoring of each port.
The OmniConverter GPoE+/M is available with fixed ST, SC, and LC connectors or Small Form Pluggable (SFP) transceiver receptacles. Fiber ports support multimode or single-mode and dual fiber or single-fiber with distances up to 140 km. SFPs support a variety of distances in standard and CWDM wavelengths.
The GPoE+/M automatically negotiates and delivers the power level required by its Powered Device (PD) partner. When negotiating to PoE (IEEE 802.3af) it delivers up to 15.4 Watts per RJ-45 port. When negotiating to PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) it delivers up to 30 Watts per RJ-45 port.
The GPoE+/M features a remote PoE power reset function that can be configured with a DIP-switch or via management. The PoE power reset feature allows all PDs or individual PDs to be power-cycled and reset remotely to save time and expense by eliminating the need to dispatch manpower to remote network sites.
The GPoE+/M also features a heartbeat signal that when configured will periodically ping the attached PD. On a loss of connectivity to the PD, the GPoE+/M can automatically power cycle or shutdown the PD.
The OmniConverter compact PoE fiber switches can be wall mounted or DIN-rail mounted using an optional mounting clip. They are available with 2- Pin DC Terminal and AC to DC 100 – 240VAC power adapters.
