About the Omnitron Systems OmniConverter GHPoE/S 9501-1-12
The OmniConverter GHPoE/S and GHPoEBT/S are multi-port media converters that convert 10/100/1000BASE-T copper to 1000BASE-X or 100BASE-X fiber and support Power-over-Ethernet (60W and 100W PoE). Classified as Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), they can provide power to one or two Powered Devices (PDs) using standard UTP cables that carry the Ethernet data.
OmniConverter PoE media converters provide network distance extension with fiber optic cabling, and function as a PoE injectors.
The GHPoE/S provides up to 60W PoE per RJ-45 port and the GHPoEBT/S provides up to 100W (IEEE 802.3bt) per RJ-45 port for outdoor PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras with heaters and blowers, multi-stream wireless access points and small cells. All three OmniConverter models support frame sizes up to 10,240 bytes.
Models with two Small Form Pluggable (SFP) fiber receptacles 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 can also be used to cascade multiple media converters, or as another switch port.
Configurable features include link modes and a PoE power reset function that enables a PD device to be re-initialized remotely, eliminating the need for costly truck rolls to remote PD sites. When a problem with a PD is identified, the fiber port on a managed switch can be shut down or disconnected, triggering 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.
Link modes can be configured to propagate loss-of-link faults to managed devices, immediately notifying administrators of network outages.
OmniConverter media converters support fixed-fiber connectors and 100Mbps or 1000Mbps SFP transceiver receptacles, enabling easy adaptability to different fiber types, distances and wavelengths. They support SFPs for multimode and single-mode dual fiber; and single-mode single-fiber, in standard and CWDM wavelengths.
The compact standalone OmniConverter media converters can be tabletop mounted, wall mounted, or DIN-rail mounted using an optional DIN-rail mounting kit. They can also be mounted on a 1U 19" rack-mount shelf. They are available with DC input power via terminal connectors or external 100 to 240 VAC power adapters.
