Network Media Converter DeLOCK 86180

The Network Media Converter DeLOCK 86180 is a compact Gigabit Ethernet media converter designed to connect copper Ethernet networks to optical fiber via an SFP slot. It supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s, complies with IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.3ab standards, and is housed in a durable metal casing. The RJ45 port supports Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af / 802.3at), allowing PoE-enabled devices to receive power over the network cable.

Advantages

The DeLOCK 86180 offers flexible fiber options through a standard SFP slot that accepts various 1 Gb/s SFP modules. With Gigabit throughput and compliance with common Ethernet standards, it enables reliable high-speed links between copper and fiber segments. The integrated PoE support on the RJ45 port simplifies installations by supplying power to compatible devices such as IP cameras or PoE splitters over a single cable. Its compact metal housing supports installation in constrained spaces while providing mechanical protection.

Suitable for

• Extending Ethernet networks to optical fiber segments
• Supplying power and data to PoE-enabled devices (IP cameras, access points) via RJ45
• Small office and industrial network links requiring durable metal housing

Key specifications

• Maximum data transfer rate: 1000 Mbit/s
• Ethernet LAN (RJ-45) ports: 1 (PoE, IEEE 802.3af / 802.3at)
• Fiber optic connector: SFP (supports optional 1 Gb/s SFP modules)
• Product colour: Black
• Housing: Metal
• Power input: 100 - 240 V, 50 - 60 Hz
• Dimensions (W x D x H): 95 x 71 x 26 mm

How to use

Install a compatible 1 Gb/s SFP module into the SFP slot, then connect the fiber cable to the SFP module. Connect the Ethernet device or network switch to the RJ45 port using a standard network cable. If powering a PoE device, ensure the connected device supports IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at and that the media converter is connected to the required power source (100–240 V). Verify link and activity LEDs (if present) to confirm proper operation.

Recommendations

Use appropriate SFP modules rated for your fiber type (single-mode or multi-mode) and required wavelength. Ensure cable runs and PoE power budgets meet the power requirements of connected devices. Install the converter in a dry, ventilated environment and secure the unit to prevent physical damage.
