Intellinet Gigabit PoE+ Media Converter, 1000Base-T RJ45 Port to 1000Base-LX (SC) Single-Mode, 20 km (12.4 mi.), PoE+ Injector

The Intellinet Network Solutions Gigabit PoE+ Media Converter connects a 1000Base-T RJ45 copper port to a 1000Base-LX SC single-mode fibre port, enabling migration from copper Ethernet to fibre while supplying up to 30 W of PoE+ power to a compatible device. The compact metal housing supports a maximum fibre distance of 20 km and provides LED indicators for activity, link, PoE and power, allowing straightforward integration into existing network installations without changing network behaviour.

Advantages

The converter enables cost-effective expansion of Ethernet networks by adding fibre links between segments or buildings without installing additional routers. It supports IEEE 802.3at/802.3af PoE standards to deliver up to 30 W to powered devices, and its small, durable metal enclosure allows desktop, wall-mount or rack-chassis deployment. The device remains transparent to the network, preserving existing performance while adding cabling flexibility.

Suitable for

• Extending LAN connections between buildings or distant floors
• Supplying power and data to PoE+ devices such as IP cameras, access points, or VoIP phones
• Integrating fibre links into existing copper-based network segments
• Deployments requiring up to 20 km single-mode fibre reach

Key specifications

• Data rate: 1000 Mbit/s (supports 1000/100/10)
• Ethernet port: 1 × 1000Base-T RJ45
• Fibre port: 1 × 1000Base-LX SC (single-mode), max distance 20 000 m
• PoE: IEEE 802.3at/802.3af injector, up to 30 W budget
• Indicators: LED for activity, link, PoE and power
• Housing: durable metal, colour: black; weight: 0.2 kg

How to use

Connect the RJ45 copper link from your switch or router to the 1000Base-T port and attach a single-mode SC fibre cable to the 1000Base-LX SC port toward the remote fibre endpoint. Plug the converter into mains power; the unit will provide PoE+ power via the RJ45 port to a compatible device. Verify link and activity LEDs to confirm successful connection and PoE delivery.

Recommendations

Install the converter near existing network equipment or in a wall-mount location; when deploying multiple units, consider using the compatible 19" rack-mount chassis. Use single-mode SC fibre for distances up to 20 km and ensure connected devices support IEEE 802.3at/802.3af for PoE+ operation.
