Overview
Patton’s FP101E/BT90 converts singlemode or multimode fiber to a copper Ethernet signal. With the built-in high power PoE (Power over Ethernet) injector and a local power source, you can easily and reliably extend both power (90 watts/high power PoE) and 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet to any PoE enabled end point including devices such as IP security cameras, IP speakers, Digital Signage, VoIP phones, Wireless Access Points, POS kiosks, BACs, PLCs and more.
Because Gigabit Ethernet over Cat5e/6 cables is limited to about 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/BT90 is housed in an IP30 rated DIN rail, wall-mount enabled enclosure and has a wide operating temperature of -40 to 75C. Its rugged design and wide temperature range makes it an ideal media converter for industrial or harsh environments.
The Fiberplex 101E/BT90 is very simple to use, completely plug and play. LEDs will make it clear when power is detected on the power inputs and when PoE is being delivered. This is a PoE compliant device so the amount of power is negotiated automatically by the injector. Should the device you are connecting to not be PoE enabled, the FP101E/BT90 will detect this and not pass power to the connected device.
