PoE media converters

Communications News,  Oct, 2004  

The AC-powered, power-over-Ethernet (POE) media converter combines data received over a fiber-optic link with -48 V DC power, providing power to data terminal equipment power devices over unshielded twisted pair cable. The PoE converters are fully compatible with powered devices that comply with the IEEE802.3af: 2003 standard. The converters also include power device signature-sensing and power-monitoring features per the IEEE 802.3af standard. Such features include over-current protection, under-current detection and fault-protection input. The unit also has a legacy mode that provides compatibility with other non-IEEE 802.3af compatible power devices. --Transition Networks
