NETSTAR NS-RP071F-13T Reverse PoE Switch with Fiber Uplink | 7 PoE In + SC Fiber Port | Built-in Media Converter | 24VDC | Surge & Over Voltage Protection

Reverse PoE Switch with Built-in Fiber Media Converter for ISP Deployments

The NETSTAR NS-RP071F-13T is an innovative Reverse PoE (RPoE) switch that combines the functionality of a Reverse PoE switch and a Fiber Media Converter in a single, cost-effective unit. Featuring a dedicated SC fiber uplink port, this switch eliminates the need for a separate fiber media converter at the last mile building, simplifying network architecture and reducing equipment costs. With the fiber uplink port, ISPs can share a single fiber uplink with multiple clients using standard Ethernet cable, making it ideal for multi-tenant buildings and distributed networks.

Intelligent Power Management and Reverse PoE Technology

The NETSTAR NS-RP071F-13T can be powered using any standard PoE injector (24VDC, 0.5~1Amp) through any of the seven downlink ports. This revolutionary approach allows the switch to draw necessary power even from a single client. ISPs no longer need to worry about arranging power for the RPoE switch—eliminating the need to pay building owners for 24-hour power backup. Overall, the RPoE switch saves a significant amount of money and time for ISPs.

Built-in Fiber Media Converter for Simplified Networking

The integrated SC fiber uplink port transforms this switch into a complete fiber-to-Ethernet solution:

• SC Fiber Uplink Port: Connect directly to fiber optic infrastructure without a separate media converter.

• Two Models Available: NETSTAR NS-RP071F-13T (Tx: 1310nm, Rx: 1550nm) and NETSTAR NS-RP071F-15T (Tx: 1550nm, Rx: 1310nm) for compatibility with different fiber networks.

• Shared Fiber Uplink: Distribute a single fiber connection to multiple clients via Ethernet cable.

• Reduced Equipment Costs: Eliminates the need for a separate fiber media converter at each location.

Comprehensive Port Configuration

The NETSTAR NS-RP071F-13T features a versatile port arrangement designed for maximum deployment flexibility:

• 7 Downlink Ports (Ports 1-7): 10/100Mbps Data + PoE In ports that receive both data and power from connected devices. Any or all of these ports can power the switch.

• 1 SC Fiber Uplink Port (Port 8): Dedicated fiber port for high-speed, long-distance connectivity to the core network.

• Cascading Support: Switches can be cascaded with other RPoE models (NS-8FE-RP & NS-RP071P-OD) for more users.

Comprehensive Protection for Reliable Operation

The NETSTAR NS-RP071F-13T is built with multiple protection features to ensure reliable operation:

• Surge Protection: Surge protection provided on each port to protect against high voltage surges on data ports.

• Over Voltage Protection: Over voltage protection is provided on each data port to eliminate damage caused by high voltage PoE injectors. The switch will stop working if the client connects more than 24VDC PoE injector, and will start working again once this high voltage source is removed.

• Over Current Protection: Over current protection is provided to eliminate damage caused due to high current flow.

Auto-Negotiation and Non-Blocking Wire Speed

Each switch port automatically detects whether connected network devices are running at 10Mbps or 100Mbps and adjusts the speed and mode accordingly, ensuring easy and hassle-free operation. The switch forwards and receives traffic seamlessly with its non-blocking wire-speed design.

Port Based Isolation for Network Security

NETSTAR NS-RP071F-13T data from the uplink port can be transferred to any downlink port, but individual downlink ports cannot communicate with each other. Port isolation can be enabled or disabled using a DIP button, providing network segmentation and security when needed.

Key Features at a Glance:

• Reverse PoE Powered: Operates using any standard PoE injector (24VDC, 0.5-1Amp) through any of the seven downlink ports.

• Built-in Fiber Media Converter: NETSTAR NS-RP071F-13T integrated SC fiber uplink port eliminates the need for a separate media converter.

• Two Fiber Models: NETSTAR NS-RP071F-13T (Tx:1310nm/Rx:1550nm) and NETSTAR NS-RP071F-15T (Tx:1550nm/Rx:1310nm).

• Intelligent Power Management: Eliminates need for UPS/power backup at building tops—saves money and time for ISPs.

• 7 PoE In Ports + Fiber Uplink: 7×10/100Mbps Data + PoE In ports + 1×SC Fiber uplink port.

• Surge Protection: Protects against high voltage surges on all ports.

• Over Voltage Protection: Automatically stops working if >24VDC is detected; resumes when voltage source is removed.

• Over Current Protection: Eliminates damage caused by high current flow.

• Cascading Support: Connect with other RPoE models (NS-8FE-RP & NS-RP071P-OD) for network expansion.

• Port Isolation: Enables/disables via DIP button—prevents downlink ports from communicating with each other.

• Auto-Negotiation: Automatically detects 10/100Mbps speeds and adjusts accordingly.

• Non-Blocking Wire Speed: Seamless forwarding and receiving of traffic.

• Energy Efficient: Compliant with IEEE 802.3az for reduced power consumption.

• LED Indicators: Clear visual status for power, fiber uplink, and Ethernet ports.
