Overview
Patton’s FP101EM converts singlemode or multimode fiber to a copper Ethernet signal. The increased bandwidth and reliability is ideal for applications involving devices such as IP security cameras, VoIP phones, wireless access points, POS kiosks, BACs, PLCs and many other remote networking needs.
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 FP101EM is housed in an IP30-rated DIN-rail or wall-mount enabled enclosure, and has an operating temperature of -40 to 75°C. Its rugged design and wide temperature range makes it an ideal media converter for industrial or harsh environments. Its small size even allows you to put it inside the enclosures of your primary devices.
The Fiberplex 101EM is very simple to use, completely plug and play. LEDs will make it clear when power is detected on the power inputs.
