Altronix 8PT FBR MD CNV/2SFP/PS/LGNEMA4 - NETWAYSP8BTWPX

Altronix NETWAYSP8BTWPX Concise Descriptor

Overview

The Altronix NETWAYSP8BTWPX is an 8-port Ethernet switch designed to bridge copper Ethernet and fiber optic cabling, extending network reach in surveillance deployments. It features 8 PoE/PoE+ ports for powering devices and 2 SFP slots for fiber uplinks, enabling data transmission over longer distances or in environments with high electromagnetic interference. This unit is ideal for connecting IP cameras, access control readers, or other network devices back to a central NVR or VMS over extended cable runs where standard Ethernet is not feasible. The NETWAYSP8BTWPX model is built for robust operation in commercial environments.

Compatibility

This media converter is designed to integrate with standard IP-based surveillance systems. It is compatible with any IP camera, NVR, or VMS that utilizes standard Ethernet connectivity. The SFP slots accept industry-standard Small Form-Factor Pluggable transceivers (sold separately), allowing for flexible fiber optic connectivity options (e.g., single-mode, multi-mode, specific wavelengths) to match your infrastructure requirements and desired transmission distances.

Installation Notes

The unit requires a 110-240VAC input via its integrated power supply. Ensure adequate ventilation around the device, as it is not rated for fully sealed enclosures without thermal management. The 8 PoE/PoE+ ports support IEEE 802.3af/at standards, delivering up to 30W per port, but the total power budget must not be exceeded by connected devices. Use appropriate SFP modules for your chosen fiber type and distance.
