The Signamax 065-1050 series media
converters are 10/100BaseT/TX to 100BaseFX Power over Ethernet (PoE)
devices that serve as Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), which allows the
converter to provide power to IEEE 802.3af PoE standard-compliant
Powered Devices (PDs) using the twisted pair connection. This AC-powered
PoE media converter combines data received over a fiber optic link with
–48 Volt DC power, which the PD can use in lieu of a separate power
connector. The 065-1050 series converters are also equipped with PD
signature-sensing, power monitoring, over-current protection,
under-current detection, and input fault protection features. The
065-1050 series’ Link Fault Signaling (LFS) capability allows the media
converter to monitor both the fiber and copper RX ports for loss of
signal. In case of a loss of RX signal on one media port, the converter
will automatically disable the TX signal to the other media port, thus
passing through the link fault. Far End Fault (FEF) capability enables
the converter to stop sending link pulse to the link partner once a loss
of the fiber RX signal is encountered; the link partner will then
synchronously stop sending data, thereby preventing the loss of data
that would occur when trying to transmit over a failed link.
The Signamax 065-1052 series media
converters are PoE 10/100BaseT/TX to 100BaseFX Powered Devices
supporting two types of media, 10/100BaseT/TX and 100BaseFX, for network
connection. They are also equipped with Link Fault Signaling (LFS), to
maintain link integrity and enable automatic failover when used with
Spanning Tree-equipped switches.
