Altronix NETWAYSP3WPN 3-Port Fiber Media Converter
Overview
The Altronix NETWAYSP3WPN is a 3-port fiber media converter designed to extend Ethernet network range over fiber optic cable in demanding surveillance environments. It converts electrical Ethernet signals to optical signals, enabling data transmission over significantly longer distances than standard copper cabling. This unit is housed in a NEMA 4 rated enclosure, providing protection against dust, rain, and washdowns, making it suitable for outdoor or industrial installations where network infrastructure needs to reach remote locations.
Compatibility
This media converter is designed to interface with standard Ethernet network devices. It supports 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet connections on its copper ports, compatible with most IP cameras, network switches, and NVRs that utilize standard RJ45 connectors. The fiber optic port is SFP-based, allowing for flexible transceiver selection to match specific fiber types (multimode or single-mode) and distances required by your network design. It is suitable for integration with various surveillance systems, including those utilizing VMS platforms that require extended network reach.
Installation Notes
The NETWAYSP3WPN requires a power source, typically 12VDC to 24VDC, which is not included. It features a NEMA 4 rated enclosure that requires proper mounting to maintain its environmental protection rating. Ensure all cable entries are sealed to prevent ingress of dust and moisture. The unit accepts standard SFP transceivers (sold separately) for the fiber optic connection, allowing customization for specific fiber optic infrastructure requirements.
