CNGE2MCPOEM
10/100/1000 MBPS 2 PORT MEDIA CONVERTER
WITH POWER OVER ETHERNET
The ComNet™ CNGE2MCPOEM Ethernet 2 port media converter is designed
to transmit and receive 10/100/1000 Mbps data over optical fiber through user
selectable SFP options. The CNGE2MCPOEM transmits and receives a single
channel of Ethernet data. As power sourcing equipment (PSE), it also supports
IEEE802.3at with up to 30 Watts of operating power to the remote powered
device (PD). It requires the ordering of sold-separately interchangeable SFP
modules for fiber type, distance and connectors. Its electrical interface will
Auto-Negotiate to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps Ethernet rate without
any adjustments. The optical interface operates at a 1000 Mbps Ethernet
rate. The CNGE2MCPOEM is environmentally hardened to operate in extreme
temperatures.
LED indicators are provided for confirming equipment operating status. See
Figure 3 on Page 3 for LED indicator descriptions.
See Figures 1 – 4 for complete installation details.
The CNGE2MCPOEM operates as a standalone module. See Figure A on Page
4 for mounting 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 or LPS power supply rated
48 VDC @ 1A.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS:
A) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may
be greater than room ambient. Therefore, 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 in a rack should be such
that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is
not compromised.
