The OmniConverter FPoE/SE and FPoE+/SE are cost-effective, multi-port media converters that convert 10/100BASE-T copper to 100BASE-X fiber and support Power-over-Ethernet (PoE and PoE+). Classified as Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), they can provide power to one or two Powered Devices (PDs) using standard UTP cables that carry the Ethernet data. The OmniConverter functions as a PoE mini-switch, and supports single or dual RJ-45 ports.

OmniConverter PoE media converters provide network distance extension with fiber optic cabling, and function as PoE injectors that enable powering devices such as IP-phones, surveillance cameras and wireless access points with Power over Ethernet (PoE).

OmniConverter media converters are available in two power levels. FPoE/SE models support PoE (IEEE 802.3af) and provide 15.40W of power per RJ-45 port. FPoE+/SE models support PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) and provide 30W per port for more demanding PDs such as video conferencing equipment, PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras and multi-stream 802.11n wireless access points. The OmniConverter FPoE/SE and FPoE+/SE support frame sizes up to 10,240 bytes.

The OmniConverter PoE media converters are available with fixed fiber ST and SC connectors or Small Form Pluggable (SFP) transceiver receptacles. Fiber ports support multimode or single-mode and dual fiber or singlefiber. SFP models support 100Mbps standard, CWDM and DWDM transceivers in a variety of distances and fiber types.

The compact standalone OmniConverter media converters can be tabletop mounted, wall mounted, or DIN-rail mounted using an optional DIN-rail mounting kit. They can also be mounted on a 1U 19” rack-mount shelf. They are available with DC terminal power or external 100 to 240V AC universal power adapter.

This example shows a combined security and fiber-to-desk application.

PoE+ IP surveillance cameras and Wireless Access Points are installed throughout a large facility. A network switch with fiber ports can be used to distribute fiber links from a control room to OmniConverter media converters.

OmniConverter FPoE+/SE media converters provide up to 30 watts of Power over Ethernet (PoE+) over UTP cables to an IP camera and Wireless Access Point at each location, each of which can be located up to 100m from the media converter.

A fiber-to-the-desk network is deployed to leverage the security and distance benefits of fiber.

In the main data closet, iConverter, miConverter or FlexPoint media converters can be installed in high-density rack-mount chassis to provide reliable and cost-effective fiber distribution from existing copper network equipment.

Fiber optic cables run to each office, where they are terminated by OmniConverter media converters. The OmniConverter media converters convert fiber to copper and, provide data and power to desktop devices such as IP phones and video conferencing equipment. They automatically disable PoE power to non-PoE desktop devices such as PCs and laptops.
