Omnitron Systems Technology, Inc. Unmanaged 10/100/1000 Power Source Equipment OmniConverter™ GPoE+/Sx

The OmniConverter GPoE+/Sx is a unmanaged Ethernet switch that features one or two 1000BASE-X Gigabit fiber ports and four or eight 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 Power Sourcing Power-over-Ethernet (PoE and PoE+) ports. The OmniConverter switch enables network distance extension with fiber cabling and provides full PoE+ power simultaneously to all RJ-45 ports. The OmniConverter GPoE+/Sx is a Layer 2 Ethernet switch that can be configured in Directed Switch mode. As a Layer 2 Ethernet switch, frames are forwarded to any port based on their MAC address. In Directed Switch mode, multicast traffic (such as video) is directed only to the appropriate fiber port, preventing the flooding of copper ports. The 4-Port GPoE+/Sx supports MUX Mode, which allows the data traffic to be tunneled between two GPoE+/Sx switches. Data traffic on the RJ-45 ports on one switch are mirrored to the corresponding RJ-45 ports on the other switch. Models with two fiber ports support Dual Device Mode that enables the GPoE+/Sx to operate as two independent and isolated switches. Models with two fiber ports also support redundant fiber uplinks for critical applications that require protection and sub 50ms restoration in the event of a fiber failure. The second fiber port may also be used to dasiy-chain multiple Ethernet switches, or it may be used as another switch port. The OmniConverter GPoE+/Sx is available with fixed ST, SC, and LC connectors or Small Form Pluggable (SFP) transceivers. Fiber ports support multimode or single-mode and dual fiber or single-fiber with distances up to 140 km. SFPs support a variety of distances in standard and CWDM wavelengths. The 4 Port RJ-45 models support 1000BASE-X and 100BASE-X SFP fiber transceivers. The GPoE+/Sx automatically negotiates and delivers the power level required by its Powered Device (PD) partner. When negotiating to PoE (IEEE 802.3af) it delivers up to 15.4 Watts per RJ-45 port. When negotiating to PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) it delivers up to 30 Watts per RJ-45 port. PoE power reset enables a PD to be re-initialized remotely. When a problem with a PD is identified, the fiber port on a managed switch can be shut down or disconnected, enabling the PoE power reset function on the OmniConverter. The PoE power to the PD is disabled for 2 seconds when a loss of receive fiber link is detected by the OmniConverter, eliminating the need for costly truck rolls to remote PD sites. The compact OmniConverter switches can be wall mounted or DIN-rail mounted using an optional mounting clip. The 4-Port models are available with DC input power via terminal connectors or external 100 to 240V AC power adapters. The 8-Port models are available with 100 to 240V AC power adapters.
