2xRJ45 to 6xSFP Mini POE Media Converter, 1310nm/1550nm Dual Wavelength

The Mini POE Media Converter was developed for support of both optical fiber aggregation as well as optical to copper Ethernet signal conversion. A great solution for the aggregation of up to six remote optical fiber nodes into just two copper Ethernet Gigabit uplinks, this converter streamlines the construction of core networks in enterprise, telecommunications, and surveillance systems. This device operates in PoE PD mode, which means it receives Power over Ethernet (PoE); that is, it consumes power from an upstream PoE switch or injector via its uplink Ethernet cable instead of providing power to the other devices connected to it, making it a perfect choice for environments where DC power adapters cannot be used. The converter has six 1000Base-X SFP ports and two RJ45 ports, allowing for an excellent degree of flexibility when integrating multiple networks together. It easily interconnects different kinds of fiber cabling and allows for distances of up to 50 km, depending on the SFP modules used with it.

Smart Power and Connectivity

Power Delivery (PD) mode allows the user to quickly provide power while eliminating the need for separate power supplies, allowing for more streamlined installation and lower cabling expenses. The converter is compatible with the IEEE 802.3af/at PoE standard and can be powered directly from a PoE-enabled switch via one of the Ethernet uplinks. By operating in PoE PD mode, this unit can be installed in remote cabinets or telecommunications closets without the need for local AC power outlets, drawing its operational power directly from a core PoE switch. Once powered, this converter provides reliable Gigabit speeds and stability while allowing the transfer of data between copper and optical interfaces. The internal power management system ensures steady voltage inputs and protects against voltage imbalances. Additionally, the device provides users with 8 KV of surge protection, increasing reliability.

Flexible Fiber Integration

The 6 SFP slots allow for tremendous scalability and configurability within your network. Users can have different types of SFP modules in one location (i.e., single-mode, multi-mode, single-fiber, dual-fiber, etc.) and gain incredible design flexibility. The SFP ports provide a fixed 1000 Mbps Gigabit speed depending on the installed module, while the RJ45 ports support 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiation. This ensures stable high-speed backbone performance across the fiber infrastructure. With this flexibility, this unit can support layer or distributed fiber network systems where varying types of optical links will eventually merge with a copper centralized network. The converter is designed to optimize performance over medium- to long-distance applications to maintain optimal signal integrity at distances of up to 50 km.

Compact and Durable Design

The unit has been constructed from metal housing materials to provide superior durability, efficient heat removal, and exceptional electromagnetic shielding. The enclosure is 181 mm in length, 87 mm in width, and 29 mm in height (approximately 5.1 x 3.5 x 1.1 in); it is designed to fit comfortably into wall-mounted or enclosed rack-mounted systems (and fits well within very small spaces). The unit has been reliably tested to work within its specified environmental profile of -10 °C to 55 °C and a humidity range of 5%-90%. It is especially well-suited for indoor applications such as control center/command hubs or as a component of an Internet Service Provider (ISP) distribution box.

Easy Deployment

Deployment of this device is simple with no specialized technical knowledge required. The unit’s plug-and-play design makes it possible for the user to simply connect the device to an existing Ethernet cable or PoE-enabled switch. The device detects whether the connection is valid and automatically configures its operation to work with whatever links or ports are available. Users will see clear indications of power, link status, and activity through the unit’s LED display. This device operates quietly and efficiently, drawing a very low electrical current for extended periods (24/7 uptime). Optional power adapters (EU, UK, US, BR, AU) are available to allow global deployment where no direct PoE source is provided.

Applications

The converter is designed specifically for fiber aggregation, edge expansion (by providing PoE support), and integration into a variety of applications including:

• Distributing high-speed internet service to end users as part of an FTTH/FTTB/FTTX deployment.
• Connecting multiple fiber routes into gigabit copper uplinks for enterprise backbone.
• Routing digital CCTV or NVR reports from remote site locations over long optical distances.
• Converging regional optical fibers into small management platforms for telecom/data centers.
• Providing reliable connectivity to industrial and municipal networks in environmentally challenging environments.

For all applications, long-distance, interference-free data transfer and easy-to-use PoE-powered functionality are required.

Packaging and Customization

The various types of units provided with the product are packaged in a safe and secure manner, along with optional adapters for working across various power systems. Additionally, there are custom options based on volume orders, such as different port counts or mixed optical interfaces. The 2xRJ45 to 6xSFP Mini POE Media Converter brings together multiple features into a single unit designed for use in conjunction with other devices. It is designed to allow multiple optical links to be consolidated into fewer copper uplinks. Built for intelligent network convergence, it maximizes the efficiency of the infrastructure through the combination of up to 6 optical links. PoE PD operation, 8KV surge protection, and SFP module flexibility make this Mini Media Converter a reliable solution for ISPs, enterprises, and security networks requiring a stable long-distance optical connection.
