Overview
Patton’s FP102E/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 1–10 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 10-gigabit Ethernet over Cat6a cables is limited to about 50 meters (164 feet), using fiber as a backhaul allows for a massive increase in distances. SFP options for multimode can reach up to 1.24 miles (2 km), and singlemode options can range as far as 37 miles (60 km). In addition to the reach, you get fiber’s superior immunity to noise and harmful transients (surges).
The FP102E/BT90 is housed in an IP30-rated DIN-rail or wall-mount enabled enclosure, and has a wide operating temperature of -40 to 167°F (-40 to 75°C). Its rugged design and wide temperature range makes it an ideal media converter for industrial or harsh environments. Its bandwidth capabilities make it suitable for bandwidth hungry applications like telecom backhaul, data centers, and AVoIP technologies that require 10-gigabit networks—like SDVoE and HDBase-T.
The Fiberplex 102E/BT90 is very simple to use, completely plug and play. LEDs 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 not be PoE-enabled, the FP102E/BT90 will detect this and not pass power to the connected device.
