OverviewPatton’ FP101E converts singlemode or multimode fiber to a copper Ethernet signal. The combination of high bandwidth and noise immunity of fiber makes these ideally suited for many applications including IP security cameras, IP speakers, VoIP phones, Wireless Access Points, POS kiosks, BACs, PLCs and more.
Because Ethernet over Cat 5e/6 cables is limited to only 100 meters (328 feet), using fiber as a backhaul allows for a massive increase in distances. SFP options for multimode can reach up to 2 km (1.24 miles) and singlemode options can range as far as 120 km (74 miles). In addition to the reach, you get Fiber’s superior immunity to noise and, harmful transients (surges).
The FP101E is housed in an IP30 rated DIN rail, wall-mount enabled enclosure and has a wide operating temperature of -40 to 75°C (-40 to 167°F). Its rugged design and wide temperature range makes it an ideal media converter for industrial or harsh environments.
The Fiberplex 101E is very simple to use, completely plug and play. LEDs will make it clear when power is detected and when data is passing both on the copper and fiber lines.
