Choose from five different ways to power this hardened media converter
Five ways to power: universal AC power supply, DC terminal block, a PC’s USB port, 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE), or the optional rackmountable PowerTray.
Convert 10-/100-Mbps copper to duplex 100-Mbps fibre, autonegotiating for speed on the copper side.
Extended temperature range when used with DC power: -25 to +70° C.
Includes clips for mounting on DIN rails.
This ultra-compact, plug-and-play converter offers multiple power options, including support for the IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) standard. Plus, the Industrial MultiPower Media Converter is designed for use in harsh industrial environments.
For extra versatility, you can power the Industrial MultiPower Media Converter through the external AC power supply included with each converter, using 5–50-VDC terminal block power, through 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE), through the optional USB Power Adapter Cable (LHC021A), which plugs into a PC’s USB port, or through the optional rackmount PowerTray (LHC018A-AC-R2).
You can even use multiple power options at the same time to provide maximum redundancy and ensure that your mission-critical applications remain up and running. For instance, you can connect a converter to power sourcing equipment (PSE) for PoE while also using AC adapter power, DC terminal block power, and USB bus power. Then, if any one of these power sources fails, the other sources will continue to supply power to the converter seamlessly.
You can also connect a PSE switch to an uninterruptible power supply to ensure that the switch and each connected media converter always have power.
