Overview
Details
Perle's feature rich Fast Ethernet rate converting PoE Media Converters transparently connect copper to fiber while providing Power over Ethernet ( PoE ) to standards-based PoE and PoE+ compliant devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones and wireless access points. S-110 PoE Media Converters are also available with support for Extended Temperature ranges.
Perle PoE Media Converters are classified as Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE). While using standard UTP cables that carry Ethernet data, Perle PoE media converters also provide power to Powered Devices (PDs). Perle has PoE media converter models that support the IEEE 802.3af PoE standard (15.4W of power) or the IEEE 802.3at PoE+ standard (30W of power). Learn more about PoE.
Perle 10/100 PoE Ethernet to Fiber Converters provide an economical path to extend the distance of an existing network with fiber cabling. At the same time they function as PoE injectors to power devices like IP phones, video conferencing equipment, IP cameras and Wi-Fi devices over copper UTP cabling.
Network Administrators can "see-everything" with Perle's advanced features such as Auto-Negotiation, Auto-MDIX, Link Pass-Through, Fiber Fault Alert, and Loopback. This allows for more efficient troubleshooting and less on-site maintenance. These cost and time saving features, along with a lifetime warranty and free worldwide technical support, make Perle's Fast Ethernet rate converting PoE Media Converters the smart choice for IT professionals.

Fast Ethernet Rate Converting to Fiber PoE Media Converter Features
| Power Over Ethernet ( PSE ) |
Performs the Power Sourcing Equipment ( PSE ) function for IEEE 802.3af (15.4 watts PoE) and IEEE 802.3at ( up to 30 watts PoE+ ) compliant devices. Available in PoE and PoE+ models PoE+ models support both Type 1 ( PoE ) and Type 2 ( PoE+ ) PD gear |
| Advanced Power Management |
|
| PD Power Reset | Ideal for remotely resetting equipment, this configurable function performs a momentary power reset to the attached Powered Device (PD). When enabled, the media converter will, upon loss of fiber RX, turn off PSE output power supplied to the PD device for 2 seconds then turn the power back on and leave it on until such time that another fiber RX link is lost (after it was re-established). When disabled, a loss of fiber RX has no effect on PSE power to the PD device(s). |
| Powered Device Support | Support is included for a broad range of PD ( Powered Devices )
|
| Power Strain Relief strap | Included with all models, a strain relief strap is provided to ensure a solid and secure power connection to the media converter. Ideal for areas that may be exposed to vibration. |
| Auto-Negotiation (802.3u) | The media converter supports auto negotiation on the 10/100Base-TX interface. |
| Auto-MDIX | Auto-MDIX (automatic
medium-dependant interface crossover) detects the signaling on the UTP
interface to determine the type of cable connected (straight-through or
crossover) and automatically configures the connection when enabled.
With Auto-MDIX enabled, either a straight-through or crossover type
cable can be used to connect the media converter to the device on the
other end of the cable. |
| Link Pass-Through | With Link Pass-Through the state of
the UTP receiver is passed to the fiber transmitter to make the media
converter appear transparent to the end devices that are connected. In
addition if Far-End Fault is enabled the media converter can turn off
the 10/100Base-TX transmitter when a FAR-End Fault is received. Using Link Pass-Through with Far-End Fault minimizes data loss when a fault occurs. Should a fault occur, the end devices have the indication of a failure available to them making trouble shooting easier. |
Far-End Fault (FEF) |
The media converter implements the
802.3 standard for Far-End Fault for the indication and detection of
remote fault conditions on the 100Base-X fiber connection. With Far-End
Fault enabled the media converter transmits the Far-End Fault Indication
over the 100Base-X fiber connection whenever a receive failure is
detected on the 100Base-X fiber connection. The media converter
continuously monitors the100Base-X fiber connection for a valid signal. The action the media converter takes on receiving a Far-End Fault Indication is dependent on the Link Pass-Through switch setting. |
| Pause (IEEE 802.3xy) | Pause signaling is an IEEE feature that temporarily suspends data transmission between two devices in the event that one of the devices becomes overwhelmed. The media converter supports pause negotiation on the 10/100Base-TX copper connection. |
| Duplex | Full and half duplex operation supported. |
| VLAN | Transparent to VLAN tagged packets. |
| Remote Loopback | Capable of performing a loopback on the 100Base-X fiber interface. |
