PoE Media Converter with Dual Fiber Connectivity and Power over Ethernet

The NETSTAR NS-MCFE-DF20-SC-PO is a versatile PoE media converter that links fiber to copper while providing Power over Ethernet (PoE) to devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, wireless access points, and other PoE-enabled devices. This innovative converter integrates power and data into one unit and delivers them over a single cable, eliminating costs for additional AC wiring and reducing installation time. Perfect for remote locations, it frees devices from the restrictions of power outlet locations on walls, ceilings, or any unreachable place.

PoE Output for Powering Remote Devices

The NETSTAR NS-MCFE-DF20-SC-PO features a PoE OUT Ethernet port that delivers whatever voltage (12VDC to 48VDC) is applied to the DC jack directly through the Ethernet port. This flexibility allows you to power a wide range of PoE-enabled devices without the need for additional power adapters at each device location. Simply provide the appropriate voltage to the DC jack, and the converter powers your remote devices over the same Ethernet cable used for data transmission.

Dual Fiber Technology for Robust Connectivity

The NETSTAR NS-MCFE-DF20-SC-PO utilizes dual fiber technology, providing dedicated transmit and receive fiber strands for reliable, full-duplex communication over long distances. Using 1310nm wavelength with SC type connector, this converter supports distances of up to 20 kilometers, ensuring robust, uninterrupted connectivity for critical network applications.

Advanced Features for Professional Deployments

The NETSTAR NS-MCFE-DF20-SC-PO supports a variety of advanced features, giving service providers the power to quickly and profitably deploy Ethernet services:

• LFP (Link Fault Pass-Through): Allows fiber failure to be propagated to the copper port, enabling network administrators to quickly identify and troubleshoot link issues. This feature can be enabled or disabled via DIP switch.

• Flexible Configuration: DIP switch settings allow you to configure Auto-Negotiation (Enable/Disable), Speed (10/100Mbps), and Duplex Mode (Half/Full) to adapt to different connectivity needs.

Versatile Connectivity Options

The NETSTAR NS-MCFE-DF20-SC-PO features:

• Copper Ethernet Port: 10/100BASE-T shielded RJ-45 port with Auto MDI/MDIX support, eliminating the need for crossover cables.

• Fiber Optic Port: 100BASE-FX SC type connector for single mode dual fiber connectivity up to 20Km.

• PoE OUT Port: Delivers 12VDC to 48VDC (same as DC jack input) to connected PoE devices.

• DIP Switch Configuration: Easy configuration for Link Fault Pass-Through, Auto-Negotiation, Speed, and Duplex Mode.

• Link, Activity & Speed LED Indications: Clear visual status for easy monitoring and troubleshooting.

Plug-and-Play Simplicity

Setting up the NETSTAR NS-MCFE-DF20-SC-PO is incredibly easy—simply plug it in and it works. The converter automatically detects and adapts to your network configuration, making it accessible for users of all technical skill levels. Enterprise customers can leverage existing Ethernet infrastructure for long-haul connects without complex configuration.
