Patton's FiberPlex FP101EM/AT converts singlemode or multimode fiber to a copper Ethernet signal. With the built-in PoE+ (Power over Ethernet) injector and a local power source, you can easily and reliably extend both power (30W/PoE+) and 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet to a PoE/PoE+ end-points such as IP security cameras, IP speakers, VoIP phones, wireless access points, POS kiosks, BACs, PLCs and more.
Because Ethernet over Cat 5e/6 cables is limited to only 328ft (100m), using fiber as a backhaul allows for a massive increase in distances. SFP options for multimode can reach up to 1.24 miles (2km) and singlemode options can range as far as 74 miles (120km). In addition to the reach, you get fiber's superior immunity to noise and, harmful transients (surges).
The FP101EM/AT is housed in an IP30-rated, DIN-rail or wall-mount enabled enclosure, and has a wide operating temperature of -40°F to 167°F (-40°C to 75°C). Its rugged design and wide temperature range makes it an ideal media converter for industrial or harsh environments. Its small size even allows you to put it directly into the enclosures of your primary devices.
The Fiberplex 101EM/AT is very simple to use, completely plug and play. LEDs make it clear when power is detected on the power inputs and when PoE is being delivered. This is a PoE compliant device so the amount of power is negotiated automatically by the injector. Should the device you are connecting to not be PoE enabled, the FP101EM/AT will detect this and not pass power to the connected device..
