Planet FTP-802S15 100Base-FX to 10/100Base-TX PoE Media Converter (SC,SM) - 15 km

Quick Summary

The Planet FTP-802S15 uses two networking technologies – media conversion and Power over Ethernet – and features both PoE and fiber-optic interfaces, providing the best data link and power sourcing solution for long reach network equipment. It comes with LED indicators for easy network diagnostics, and is easy to install.

The compact unit is great for service providers, campuses and public areas requiring to deploy the PoE for wireless access points, IP-based surveillance cameras or IP phones in any places easily, efficiently and cost effectively.

Features

PoE Optimizes the Installation and Power Management of Network Devices

The IEEE 802.3af capabilities of the FTP-80x reduce installation costs for many new network productivity devices. As an IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet Injector, the FTP-80x provides DC 48V voltage over Ethernet cables. It allows the twisted pair cable between the FTP-80x and IEEE 802.3af compliant PD (Powered Device) or PoE Splitter (such as POE-151S-5V / 12V) to transfer data and power simultaneously.

Fiber-optic Link Capability Extends the Range of Network Deployments

The maximum distance from the PoE PSE and PD is 100 meters. To extend the deployment range of network device, the Planet FTP-802S15 is integrated with fiber interface. The Planet FTP-802S15’s PoE Media Converter is used to convert optical Ethernet signal to electrical Ethernet signal that allows two types of segments to connect easily, efficiently and inexpensively. It can convert 10/100Base-TX signal to 100Base-FX signal and provides the diverse fiber connecting types of options to meet different network applications. The Planet FTP-802S15’s maximum networking distance can extend to as long as 15 kilometers and still sustains the transmission performance as high as 100Mbps. It works in high performance of Store and Forward mechanism and if also can prevent packet loss with IEEE 802.3x flow control (full-duplex). With the LFP (Link Fault Pass-through function which includes LLCF and LLR) and the DIP switch design, it can immediately alert administrators to the problems of the link media and provide efficient solution to monitoring the net. The DIP switch provides the disabling or enabling of the LFP function.

Advantage of Combining PoE and Media Conversion

With the data, long reach fiber capability and PoE from one unit, the Planet FTP-802S15 will reduce cables and eliminate the need for dedicated electrical outlets on the wall, ceiling or any unreachable place. It frees the security IP camera and wireless AP deployment from restrictions due to power outlet locations. Power and data switching are integrated into one unit and delivered over a single cable, eliminating costs for additional AC wiring and reducing installation time.

Application

The IEEE 802.3af Equipment Installation

The Planet FTP-802S15 provides the easiest way to power your Ethernet devices such as PLANET IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet Splitter (POE-151S/152S) with non PoE Internet camera or wireless PoE access point (IAP-2000PE). For instance, security IP camera, wireless access point and other IEEE 802.3af compliant network equipment can be easily installed around corners in public areas such as stations or freeways for surveillance demands, or wireless roaming environment in campuses or airports can be set up.
