Altronix NETWAYSP8BTB 8-Port Fiber Media Converter/BT/2SFP
Overview
The Altronix NETWAYSP8BTB is a hardened, managed Ethernet switch designed to extend network connectivity and surveillance camera reach over fiber optic cable. It provides 8 10/100/1000 Mbps ports with PoE/PoE+ and two 1 Gbps SFP ports for fiber uplinks. This unit is engineered for demanding environments where extended range and robust connectivity are critical, such as large industrial sites, campus networks, or transportation hubs. The NETWAYSP8BTB model specifically addresses the need to bridge standard Ethernet networks with fiber infrastructure, enabling longer transmission distances and immunity to electromagnetic interference.
Compatibility
This switch is designed to integrate with standard IP-based surveillance systems. It is compatible with any IP camera, NVR, or other network device that adheres to Ethernet standards and supports PoE/PoE+ (802.3af/at) for power delivery. The two 1 Gbps SFP ports are compatible with industry-standard SFP transceivers (sold separately) allowing for flexible fiber optic cable type and distance configurations. It functions as a standard network switch, making it interoperable with most VMS platforms and network infrastructure.
Installation Notes
The NETWAYSP8BTB supports standard 802.3af/at PoE, drawing up to 30W per port, and can be powered by a 12-24 VDC input. It requires an external power supply (sold separately) suitable for its operating voltage and current demands. The unit is designed for DIN rail mounting, facilitating integration into control panels or enclosures. Ensure proper ventilation as per the manufacturer's guidelines to maintain optimal operating temperature.
