All PoE Products

VERSITRON PoE products combine reliable Ethernet connectivity with Power over Ethernet technology, allowing network devices to receive both data and power through a single copper Ethernet connection. When combined with fiber optic networking, PoE provides an effective way to connect and power remote devices over longer distances while taking advantage of fiber's high bandwidth and immunity to electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference.

VERSITRON offers PoE and PoE+ media converters and managed network switches for commercial, enterprise, industrial, security, telecommunications, and other demanding network applications.

PoE technology can be used to connect and power a wide range of network devices, including IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, sensors, and other compatible Ethernet equipment.

PoE Fiber Networking Solutions

VERSITRON provides several approaches for integrating PoE into fiber optic networks, depending on the network architecture and installation environment.

PoE Media Converters

PoE media converters connect fiber optic networks to copper Ethernet devices while providing Power over Ethernet through the RJ45 port. They are particularly useful when a remote device needs to be located beyond the normal reach of a copper Ethernet network.

VERSITRON offers commercial and industrial PoE/PoE+ media converters with Gigabit Ethernet connectivity and SFP-based fiber interfaces.

Managed Industrial PoE/PoE+ Switches

VERSITRON managed industrial PoE/PoE+ switches combine fiber uplinks, Ethernet switching, and PoE power delivery in a rugged platform designed for demanding environments.

Available configurations include 4-port, 7-port, 10-port, and 18-port models, providing options for different network sizes and deployment requirements.

Managed Commercial PoE/PoE+ Switches

For standard commercial and enterprise environments, VERSITRON offers managed PoE/PoE+ switches in 10-port, 20-port, 28-port, and 52-port configurations.

The 28-port and 52-port models provide flexible 1G or 10G connectivity through their SFP ports, making them suitable for higher-bandwidth network backbones and uplinks.

Why Combine PoE with Fiber Optic Networking?

Combining PoE with fiber allows organizations to extend network connectivity to remote powered devices while maintaining the advantages of fiber optic transmission.

Longer Network Distances

Fiber optic cable can carry network traffic significantly farther than standard copper Ethernet. This makes fiber-based PoE solutions useful for remote cameras, wireless access points, industrial equipment, and other devices located away from the main network.

High Bandwidth

Fiber provides high-speed network connectivity for applications that require substantial bandwidth, including video surveillance, wireless networking, industrial monitoring, and enterprise communications.

Immunity to EMI and RFI

Fiber optic cable is immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI). This makes fiber particularly useful in industrial environments, transportation systems, power facilities, and other locations where electrical interference may affect copper network connections.

Remote Power Delivery

PoE allows compatible devices to receive power and network connectivity through the same Ethernet cable, reducing the need for a separate local power connection at the remote device.

Simplified Installation

Combining fiber networking with PoE can simplify remote device installations by using fiber for the long-distance network connection and a single Ethernet cable for the final connection between the PoE device and powered equipment.

PoE and PoE+ Media Converters

VERSITRON PoE/PoE+ media converters provide a simple way to add PoE functionality to a fiber-based network.

Model	Product Name	Copper Ports	Copper Speed	Fiber Ports (SFP Slots)	Fiber Speed	Connector Type
M7260PA2	10/100/1000 Base-T to 100/1000 Base-X Converter	1	10/100/1000	1	100/1G	LC
MF7260P	10/100/1000 Base-T to 1000 Base-X PoE/PoE+	1	10/100/1000	1	1G	LC

 

These converters provide fiber-to-copper network conversion while delivering PoE/PoE+ power to compatible Ethernet devices.
