Alloy POE2000LC.10 10/100/1000Base-T PoE RJ-45 to 1000Base-LX

ALLOY POE2000LC.10 PoE PSE Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter

Overview

The POE2000LC.10 Gigabit Ethernet PoE Media Converter, a POE2000 Series model, has a 10/100/1000Mbps PoE RJ-45 and a LC type singlemode fibre port. Power PoE PD devices such as IP Phones and support copper-to-fibre media conversion with 10Km range.

The POE2000LC.10 Gigabit Ethernet PoE Media Converter is a dual purpose device. It supports media conversion applications between Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-T over UTP/STP copper cable and LC terminated 1000Base-LX over singlemode fibre cable, supporting ranges of up to 10 kilometres. The device also supports IEEE 802.3af compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, and can be used to power PD (Powered Device) PoE equipment such as IP phones and IP cameras via UTP or STP data cable.

The POE2000LC.10 is a model from Alloy's POE2000 Series of PoE Media Converters. As a Media Converter, models in the series support most types of Gigabit media conversion, including 10/100/1000Mbps RJ-45 copper to 1000Base-SX multimode fibre (with either LC, SC or ST connectors, maximum link range of 550 metres), 10/100/1000Mbps RJ-45 copper to 1000Base-LX singlemode fibre (LC or SC connectors for 10, 30 or 50Km ranges), 10/100/1000Mbps RJ-45 copper to SFP providing 1000Base-SX/LX singlemode fibre (via SFP slot installed mini-GBIC modules), and 10/100/1000Mbps RJ-45 copper to 1000Base-LX WDM singlemode/singlecore fibre (SC connector, 20Km range).

The PoE capability of POE2000 Series Media Converters is comprehensive; as a PSE device, all models support signature sensing, power monitoring functions including PD discovery, classification and current limiting, PD power-out auto-detection, PD over and under current power protection, fault protection input, minimum load sensing and PSE MDI power enable / disable. All models automatically discover PD PoE devices, power them over UTP data cable to a maximum of 15.4 watts, monitor power supply, indicate operating and fault status via a comprehensive LED suite, and protect from power faults.

POE2000 Series Converters also support Link Fault Passthrough in both Far-end-Fault (FEF) and Forced Modes (FM). LFP allows these Media Converters to monitor both the fibre and copper RX ports for signal loss. In the case of a loss of RX signal on one media port, the Converter will automatically disable the TX signal to the other media port, thus passing through the link fault LED status. FEF mode enables the Converter to stop sending a link pulse to a LFP capable Converter on the other end of the cable; the link partner Converter will synchronously stop sending data, preventing loss of valuable data transmitted over an invalid link. Combining FM and FEF LFP functions supports troubleshooting and network security capability, as both end devices can be notified of a loss of fibre link and a managed switch connected to a POE2000 Series Converter can be configured to diasable the link and notify administrators of the event.
