Eaton Tripp Lite Series Gigabit Singlemode Fiber to Ethernet Media Converter with PoE+ (10/100/1000, SC, 1310 nm, 20 km)

Unlock long-distance, power-enabled connectivity with the Eaton Tripp Lite Series Gigabit Singlemode Fiber to Ethernet Media Converter. This high-performance device bridges traditional copper Ethernet networks with fiber at gigabit speed, enabling seamless extension of your LAN over singlemode fiber up to 20 kilometers (12.4 miles). With PoE+ support, it doesn’t just carry data; it also delivers power to PoE-enabled edge devices, simplifying deployment in remote locations, industrial environments, or campus networks. Whether you’re linking switches across a data center, connecting surveillance cameras at the perimeter, or extending a network to a distant building, this media converter provides reliable, scalable, and energy-efficient performance.

• Gigabit speed over long-haul singlemode fiber: Extends 1000 Mbps data transmission up to 20 km (12.4 miles) using SC connectors and 1310 nm wavelength.
• PoE+ support for edge devices: Delivers both data and up to the required PoE+ power (48 VDC) to PoE-enabled devices at the remote end, reducing the need for separate power drops.
• RJ45 auto-sensing port: The RJ45 port supports auto MDI/MDI-X, simplifying installation by automatically adapting to straight-through or crossover cables.
• SC fiber interface for robust links: SC connectors provide a secure, vibration-resistant fiber connection ideal for demanding environments and long-distance links.
• Compact, field-friendly design: Built to withstand real-world deployments with reliable performance in enterprise, industrial, and outdoor-friendly settings, while maintaining easy setup and management.

How to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series Gigabit Singlemode Fiber to Ethernet Media Converter

Installing this media converter is straightforward and designed for quick integration into existing networks. Follow these steps to ensure a reliable, gigabit-capable fiber link with PoE+ to your edge devices:

• Plan your path: Identify the fiber run path between the source switch and the distant PoE-enabled edge device. Ensure the fiber is singlemode (SM) and that SC connectors match the converter and the fiber optic cable you will use.
• Power the unit: Connect a suitable 48 VDC power source to the media converter’s power input. Ensure power supply compatibility with your region and safety standards. The PoE+ feature will deliver power over the Ethernet RJ45 port to the connected edge device where needed.
• Connect the fiber link: Attach the SC fiber optic cable to the fiber optic port on the media converter. Secure the connector to minimize movement and avoid dust contamination on the connector ferrule.
• Link the copper network: Connect the RJ45 Ethernet uplink to your network switch, router, or other LAN equipment. Verify the switch port supports Gigabit speed and, if required, auto MDI/MDI-X compatibility is enabled for seamless negotiation.
• Power on and test: Power up the unit and test the link status. Verify Gigabit connectivity and confirm PoE+ delivery to the edge device by checking the device for power indicators and network activity. Use a device capable of recognizing PoE+ to confirm power delivery.
