S-110P-XT Industrial Temperature Copper to Fiber PoE Media Converter Features

Power Over Ethernet (PSE)	Performs the Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) function for IEEE 802.3af (15.4 watts PoE) and IEEE 802.3at (up to 30 watts PoE+) compliant devices. Available in PoE and PoE+ models PoE+ models support both Type 1 (PoE) and Type 2 (PoE+) PD gear
Advanced Power Management	Enable/Disable PSE power PD signature detection Over-Current Protection PD power classification detection (Class 0,1,2,3,4)
PD Power Reset	Ideal for remotely resetting equipment, this configurable function performs a momentary power reset to the attached Powered Device (PD). When enabled, the media converter will, upon loss of fiber RX, turn off PSE output power supplied to the PD device for 2 seconds then turn the power back on and leave it on until such time that another fiber RX link is lost (after it was re-established). When disabled, a loss of fiber RX has no effect on PSE power to the PD device(s).
Powered Device Support	Support is included for a broad range of PD (Powered Devices) IEEE Standard PoE/PoE+ (Alternative A and B) Legacy High Capacitance PDs Legacy Wireless Access Points
Power Strain Relief strap	Included with all models, a strain relief strap is provided to ensure a solid and secure power connection to the media converter. Ideal for areas that may be exposed to vibration.
Auto-Negotiation (802.3u)	The media converter supports auto negotiation on the 10/100Base-TX interface.
Auto-MDIX	Auto-MDIX (automatic medium-dependant interface crossover) detects the signaling on the UTP interface to determine the type of cable connected (straight-through or crossover) and automatically configures the connection when enabled. With Auto-MDIX enabled, either a straight-through or crossover type cable can be used to connect the media converter to the device on the other end of the cable.
Link Pass-Through	With Link Pass-Through the state of the UTP receiver is passed to the fiber transmitter to make the media converter appear transparent to the end devices that are connected. In addition if Far-End Fault is enabled the media converter can turn off the 10/100Base-TX transmitter when a FAR-End Fault is received. Using Link Pass-Through with Far-End Fault minimizes data loss when a fault occurs. Should a fault occur, the end devices have the indication of a failure available to them making trouble shooting easier.
Far-End Fault (FEF)	The media converter implements the 802.3 standard for Far-End Fault for the indication and detection of remote fault conditions on the 100Base-X fiber connection. With Far-End Fault enabled the media converter transmits the Far-End Fault Indication over the 100Base-X fiber connection whenever a receive failure is detected on the 100Base-X fiber connection. The media converter continuously monitors the 100Base-X fiber connection for a valid signal. The action the media converter takes on receiving a Far-End Fault Indication is dependent on the Link Pass-Through switch setting.
Pause (IEEE 802.3xy)	Pause signaling is an IEEE feature that temporarily suspends data transmission between two devices in the event that one of the devices becomes overwhelmed. The media converter supports pause negotiation on the 10/100Base-TX copper connection.
Duplex	Full and half duplex operation supported.
VLAN	Transparent to VLAN tagged packets.
Remote Loopback	Capable of performing a loopback on the 100Base-X fiber interface.

If Auto-Negotiation (802.3u) is enabled, the media converter determines the current cable pinout to use on the copper interface. If Auto-Negotiation (802.3u) is disabled the Media converter will use the RX Energy method on the copper interface to set the port MDI or MDIX whichever is appropriate.

Enabled (Default) - Either a straight-through or crossover type cable can be used to connect the media converter to the device on the other end of the cable.
Disabled - If the partner device on the other end of the cable does not have the Auto-MDIX feature a specific cable, either a straight-through or crossover will be required to ensure that the media converter's transmitter and the partner devices transmitter are connected to the others receiver. The Media converter's 100Base-TX port is configured as MDI-X with this switch setting.

PSE Power

When enabled (UP), the media converter will perform a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) function as per IEEE802.3af or 802.3at standards (relevant model).
Default is 'enabled'

PD Power Reset

This is a technique to perform a power reset on a PD device attached.

When enabled (down), the media converter will upon loss of link on any fiber port, turn off PSE output power to the PD device for 2 seconds then turn the power back on. The power remains on until any fiber link transitions from up to down again.
With Passthrough enabled, a loss of link on the fiber resulting from a loss of link on the copper, a PD Power Reset will occur and the copper link will continue to reflect the state of the fiber link.
When PD Power Reset disabled, loss of fiber link has no effect on PSE power to the PD device.

Fast Ethernet to IP Cameras

Connect 10/100 IP Cameras to Fast Ethernet Backbone

Extend the reach to IP cameras using industrial fiber PoE media converters. Security cameras are typically installed in remote locations where extremely high or low temperatures are a concern -- ceilings, rooftops, light poles, along fences, pipelines and transit routes. The cost of bringing electrical power to each camera located in these inaccessible areas is eliminated by powering the equipment through the UTP cable using a PoE media converter. For cameras with Pan-Tilt-Zoom ( PTZ ) that may require higher power, PoE+ models that can supply up to 30 watts of power are also available. PoE+ may also be required for cameras used in cold environments that feature de-icers and blowers.

Fiber is run from an existing data closet to an area with access to power. A PoE Media Converter can be powered by either 48vDC or standard 100 to 240 AC power. The media converter is attached to the power supply and the fiber cable. Copper (UTP or STP cable) Ethernet can be extended another 100 meters to the IP camera. The PoE Media Converter is converting the data from fiber to copper, adding power and transmitting it to the security camera.

Fast Ethernet Fiber to Wireless Access Points

Connect 10/100 Wireless Access Points to Fast Ethernet Backbone

Extend the reach to wireless access points ( AP ) using fiber PoE media converters. When a company deploys a wireless network in their office or large warehouse, APs need to be set up throughout the facility to ensure complete coverage for reliability. The network manager will likely need to extend further than the 100 meters allowed by copper cable to reach many of the APs.

For APs that are in the ceiling or other inaccessible areas, PoE media converters can also provide standard PoE power including pre-standard power for those access points that were deployed prior to ratification IEEE 802.3af. For wireless access points as those containing dual radios requiring more than 15.4 watts of power, PoE+ models delivering up to 30 watts are also available.

When AP’s are used in industrial environments where extremely high or low temperatures are a concern, fiber is run from an existing data closet to an area with access to power. A PoE Media Converter can be powered by either 48vDC or standard 100 to 240 AC power. The media converter is attached to the power supply and the fiber cable. Copper (UTP or STP cable) Ethernet can be extended another 100 meters to the Wireless Access Point. The PoE Media Converter is converting the data from fiber to copper, adding power and transmitting it to the AP.

Fast Ethernet Fiber to Wireless Access Points Diagram

Single Mode / Single Fiber

Connect copper ports over a single fiber strand ( also referred to as “Bi-Directional” BiDi )

When Single Strand fiber is used, a pair of Single Fiber Media Converters is needed for the copper to fiber conversion. Perle Single Fiber Media Converters are also referred to as “Up/Down” models. For example S-110P-S1SC20U-XT (“Up”) and S-110P-S1SC20D-XT (“Down”), shown below, must be used in pairs. An “Up” must be matched with a “Down” peer to deal with transmit and receive frequencies separately.

S-110P-S1SC20U-XTS-110P-S1SC20D-XT

The majority of installations for single mode fiber media converters are of the “dual connector” or “dual fiber” type where one fiber connection is used for transmit, the other for receive. These are physically “crossed” to match up the Transmit/Receive links.

However, to reduce costs, or where there are limits on available fiber, WDM technology may be utilized. WDM uses separate transmit and receive frequencies to communicate on a single fiber strand. WDM technology relies on the fact that optical fibers can carry many wavelengths of light simultaneously without interaction between each wavelength. Thus, a single fiber can carry many separate wavelength signals or channels simultaneously.

So remember, if Single Strand fiber is used, you will need an “Up” Media Converter on one side and a “Down” Media Converter on the other for copper to fiber conversion.
