Altronix NETWAYSP8BTWPXN 8-Port PoE Fiber Media Converter
Overview
The Altronix NETWAYSP8BTWPXN is an 8-port PoE fiber media converter designed to extend network connectivity and power to IP devices over long distances. It integrates an 8-port 10/100 Mbps Ethernet switch with two 1 Gbps SFP ports and provides PoE/PoE+ power to connected devices. This unit is housed in a NEMA 4 rated enclosure, making it suitable for deployments in harsh or outdoor environments where protection against dust and water ingress is critical. The NETWAYSP8BTWPXN is ideal for extending surveillance networks or other IP-based systems beyond the standard Ethernet cable length limitations.
Compatibility
This media converter is designed to work with standard IP cameras, access control readers, wireless access points, and other PoE-enabled devices. It supports 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connections on its RJ45 ports and 1 Gbps connections via its SFP ports, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of network infrastructure. The PoE output is compliant with 802.3af and 802.3at standards, providing up to 30W per port.
Installation Notes
The NETWAYSP8BTWPXN requires a 120-240VAC, 50/60Hz power source for its internal power supply. It supports fiber optic transceivers (SFPs) for the two 1 Gbps uplink ports, which must be purchased separately and selected based on desired transmission distance and fiber type (e.g., multimode or single-mode). Ensure proper termination of fiber optic cables and secure mounting of the NEMA 4 enclosure to maintain its environmental rating.
