The Alloy POE200LC is a versatile Fast Ethernet media converter that integrates Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities with copper-to-fibre media conversion. Equipped with a 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 PoE port and an LC-terminated 100Base-FX multimode fibre port, this device supports seamless data transmission over distances up to 2 kilometers via multimode fibre cable. Designed to power IEEE 802.3af-compliant Powered Devices (PD) such as IP phones and IP cameras, it supplies up to 15.4 watts of power directly through standard UTP or STP copper cabling.
Key Features
- Dual Purpose: Enables media conversion between copper (10/100Base-TX) and multimode fibre (100Base-FX).
- PoE-Compliant Powering: Acts as a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), delivering IEEE 802.3af PoE to PDs with comprehensive PoE functions, including PD signature sensing, discovery & classification, power monitoring, and current protection.
- Extended Multimode Range: Supports fibre links over multimode cables up to 2 km, ensuring robust network deployments.
- Link Fault PassThrough (LFP): Utilizes Far-end-Fault (FEF) mode for automatic link fault detection, monitoring both fibre and copper ports to maintain network integrity.
- Auto-Negotiation & Indicators: The RJ-45 port supports 10/100Mbps auto-negotiation with LED indicators for link/activity, speed, and PoE/power/fault status.
Ideal for environments needing reliable copper-to-fibre conversion combined with PoE to power devices, the POE200LC is perfect for expanding Fast Ethernet networks in office, campus, and industrial settings.
