Perle PoE Media Converters are classified as Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE). While using standard UTP cables that carry Ethernet data, Perle PoE media converters can also provide power to one or two Powered Devices (PDs). Perle has PoE media converter models that support the IEEE 802.3af PoE standard (15.4W of power) or the IEEE 802.3at PoE+ standard (30W of power). Learn more about PoE.

Perle 10/100/1000 PoE Ethernet to FibrE Converters provide an economical path to extend the distance of an existing network with fibrE cabling. At the same time they function as PoE injectors to power devices like IP phones, video conferencing equipment, IP cameras and Wi-Fi devices over copper UTP cabling.

Multi-port PoE media converters enable a variety of flexible network designs. They can feature single or dual RJ-45 ports to power one or two PD’s per converter and single or dual fibre ports.

Network Administrators can ""see-everything"" with Perles advanced features such as Auto-Negotiation, Auto-MDIX, Link Pass-Through, Fibre Fault Alert, and Loopback. This allows for more efficient troubleshooting and less on-site maintenance. These cost and time saving features, along with a lifetime warranty and free worldwide technical support, make Perles Gigabit rate converting PoE Media Converters the smart choice for IT professionals.
