LevelOne RJ45 to SFP Gigabit Media Converter, 802.3bt 90W PoE PSE

The LevelOne GVT-2016 is a single-port End-Span IEEE 802.3bt High Power over Ethernet (PoE) media converter that delivers up to 90W PoE budget. It converts Gigabit data between an RJ45 Ethernet port and an SFP fiber port, supporting both multi-mode and single-mode SFP transceivers. The device is intended to provide data and power over the RJ45 interface to network devices that need higher power, eliminating the need for separate power outlets or electrical cabling.

Advantages

The GVT-2016 provides a high PoE power budget (90W) compliant with IEEE 802.3bt, a Gigabit RJ45 port paired with an SFP slot for flexible fiber connectivity, and compatibility with PTZ cameras, multiband wireless access points, VoIP color touchscreen phones and other high-power network equipment. It includes LED indicators for LAN, PoE and power status and supports standard Gigabit Ethernet data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s.

Suitable for

• Powering PTZ network cameras and speed domes
• Supplying power to multichannel wireless LAN access points (802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax)
• Connecting and powering color touchscreen VoIP telephones
• Extending network segments over fiber to remote powered devices

How to use

Install an appropriate SFP transceiver (multi-mode or single-mode) into the SFP slot and connect the fiber link to your network. Connect the RJ45 port to the powered device (PD) such as a PTZ camera or AP using a standard Ethernet cable. Plug the converter into AC mains (100–240V) and check LED indicators to verify LAN link, PoE power delivery and device power. Ensure the powered device supports IEEE 802.3bt or is compatible with the provided PoE class and power budget.

Recommendations

Use suitable SFP transceivers that match the fiber type and distance required. Verify the total power requirements of connected devices to ensure the combined draw does not exceed the 90W PoE budget. For long fiber runs or specific link budgets, select transceivers with appropriate wavelength and power characteristics.
