Overcome PoE limitations with the next-generation
FiberPoE™, model F-POE-G2. The FiberPoE Gen 2 is a
low-cost solution for outdoor deployments that require
long-distance runs to reach the PoE device. Deployments
with the FiberPoE Gen 2 provide signicant EMI and ESD
protection over typical PoE installations. The FiberPoE
Gen 2 also features a durable, weatherproof form factor
and enhanced surge protection.
Separate Data and Power Transport
PoE is ideal for indoor or short-run installations.
However, for outdoor, long-distance installations, PoE
becomes vulnerable to EMI and is limited to 100 meters
with correlated power loss. With the FiberPoE Gen 2,
data and power are transported on separate cables to
greatly improve data integrity and enable much longer
cableruns.
The FiberPoE Gen 2 provides Gigabit bi-directional data
transport between twisted-pair Ethernet cable and ber
optic cable, and injects DC power to the Ethernet cable
for passive PoE. Use one FiberPoE Gen 2 device as an
Fiber-to-Ethernet Converter, or a pair of FiberPoE Gen 2
devices to create a Fiber Bridge.

Enhanced Surge Protection
Featuring a built-in high-current Gas Discharge Tube
(GDT) for the DC terminal block and PoE port, the
FiberPoE Gen 2 delivers enhanced surge protection. The
added GDT support effectively protects against lightning
and other power surges.
Fiber Optic Data Transport
Using ber optic cable for data transport signicantly
reduces electrostatic discharge (ESD) failures and
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Data integrity is also
sustained in runs beyond 100 meters, the limit of Ethernet
over twisted-pair cable.
The FiberPoE Gen 2 supports a 1G SFP module and 24V or
50V power from a DC power cable or PoE cable.
