Industrial PoE Media Converter

Preface

A member of the growing family of Industrial Media
Converters, this Industrial PoE Media Converter addresses
a need for a Power over Ethernet (PoE) Media Converter.
Capable of operating at temperature extremes of -10℃ to

+60℃, this is the Media Converter of choice for harsh
environments.

15.4W IEEE802.3af PoE model:
The 10/100Base-TX port on this Media Converter supports
IEEE802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) Power Sourcing
Equipment (PSE) and can detect an IEEE802.3af
compliant Powered Device (PD). Using external 48 or

-48VDC power inputs through Terminal Block or 48VDC
Power Jack, data and power can be transmitted to a
Powered Device (PD) over the same twisted-pair Ethernet
cable through 10/100Base-TX port on the Media
Converter.

30W High Power PoE model:
The 10/100Base-TX port on this Media Converter supports
IEEE802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) Power Sourcing
Equipment (PSE) and can detect an IEEE802.3af
compliant Powered Device (PD). Using external
48~52VDC power inputs through Terminal Block or Power
Jack, data and power can be transmitted to a Powered
Device (PD) over the same twisted-pair Ethernet cable
through 10/100Base-TX port on the Media Converter.

Or the 10/100Base-TX port on this Media Converter
supports 30W High Power PoE Power Sourcing Equipment
(PSE) and can detect a 30W High Power PoE compliant
Powered Device (PD). Using external 52~57VDC power
inputs through Terminal Block or Power Jack, data and
power can be transmitted to a Powered Device (PD) over
the same twisted-pair Ethernet cable through
10/100Base-TX port on the Media Converter.
