The ComNet™ CNFE100(X)POE(M,S)/M Series 10/100Mbps Ethernet media converters
provide full-duplex fiber optic transmission of a single channel of 10/100BASE-T(X) data
through multimode or single mode optical fiber. Type ST, SC or SFP optics are available.
They provide full compliance with IEEE 802.3at as Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE),
with a maximum power of 30 watts in Mode A or Mode B, making them ideal for those
applications where the remote equipment draws significant power. A higher output 60
watt model is available.
Mode A and mode B are selected by the media converter automatically. The Ethernet
electrical interface auto-negotiates to either 10 or 100Mbps without the need for any
user selection, and the 100BASE-FX optical interface operates at 100Mbps.
LED indicators are provided for rapidly ascertaining the operating status of the
device. See Figure 13 on Page 8 for an explanation of the LED Indicators.
Packaged in a rugged, compact sized housing, these units are designed for shelf or
stand-alone mounting, or may be DIN-rail mounted by the addition of ComNet model
DINBKT2 Adaptor plate kit. See Figure A on Page 9 for mounting instructions.
See Figures 1 – 15 for complete installation instructions.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
This unit is supplied as a Standalone module. Units should be installed in
dry locations protected from extremes of temperature and humidity.
WARNING: Unit is to be used with a Listed Class 2 power supply.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS:
A) Elevated Operating Ambient - Consideration should be given to installing
the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient
temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment should be such that
the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not
