Comnet CWFE1POCOAXM Specsheet

100 Mbps Ethernet-over-Coax + 15 watt PoE

CWFE1POCOAXBM

CONVERTERINCLUDED

The ComNet™ CWFE1POCOAXM series supports 100 Mbps Ethernet transmission
as well as Power over Ethernet (PoE) over standard 75 Ω coaxial cable circuits, at data
rates of up to 100 Mbps, and transmission distances of up to 230 meters (750 feet).
The IEEE 802.3-compliant Ethernet electrical interface of this media converter meets
the requirements for IEEE 802.3af PoE power, providing 15 watts of power to the
powered device (PD) in the field. Model CWFE1POCOAXA is installed at the head-end
(power sourcing equipment) location, and the model CWFE1POCOAXBM is installed
at the powered device (PD) in the field location. LED indicators are provided for rapidly
ascertaining the operating status of the device. Packaged in a rugged, compact sized
housing, these units are designed for shelf or stand-alone mounting, making them
ideal for those installations were space is limited.
