FAQ

What is Power Over Ethernet (PoE)?

Power Over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that allows both data and electric power to be transmitted over the same Ethernet cable, simplifying the installation of network devices such as IP cameras and Wi-Fi access points.

How far can media converters extend my network?

The distance a media converter can extend your network depends on the fiber type (singlemode or multimode) and the speed of the converter. For example, multimode fiber typically supports shorter distances (up to 550 meters), while singlemode fiber can support much longer distances (up to 100 kilometers or more).

Can I use media converters with any network switch?

Yes, media converters can be used with most network switches that support standard Ethernet ports. However, it’s important to ensure that the media converter and network switch are compatible in terms of speed and fiber type (singlemode or multimode).

Do media converters support both fiber types?

Yes, our fiber optic media converters support both singlemode and multimode fiber types, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of network infrastructures and deployment scenarios.

Can I install multiple media converters in one chassis?

Yes, our media chassis are designed to accommodate multiple media converters, providing a centralized solution for managing and organizing large-scale deployments. This is particularly useful for networks that require several converters for different fiber optic connections.
