PoE+ Media Converter for Network Extension

The AddOn ADD-GMC-SFP-POE+ converts a 10/100/1000Base-TX RJ-45 copper connection to 1000Base-X fibre via an open SFP port. It delivers up to 30W of power compliant with IEEE 802.3at for devices such as wireless access points or IP cameras. The unmanaged unit operates at a 1Gbps data rate and extends network reach beyond the 100m copper limit. It is built for commercial environments requiring flexible fibre deployment.

Power and Thermal Behaviour

The converter draws power from an included 120V AC cable and supplies up to 30W to the connected PoE device. Over-current protection guards the link against electrical faults. With no moving parts, the unit runs silently and generates minimal heat during normal operation. Link fault pass-through ensures the connection state is reported accurately across the conversion boundary.

Build Integration Requirements

One RJ-45 port and one open SFP slot accept MMF or SMF transceivers for SX, LX, or BX connectivity. The media converter requires a standard AC outlet and a compatible SFP module, which is not included. It frees the installer from copper distance constraints while preserving Gigabit throughput. Buyers needing multiple fibre links or managed switching features should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How do I install the AddOn ADD-GMC-SFP-POE+ media converter and what step do people often miss?

Connect the 120V AC power cable, link the RJ-45 port to your copper network, insert a compatible SFP transceiver into the open SFP port, then attach the fibre patch cable; the step often missed is seating the SFP module until it clicks so the 1000Base-X link establishes.

What maintenance or replacement will this POE+ media converter need over time?

The SFP transceiver is the only field-replaceable component; swap it if you change fibre type or distance, and verify the 30W POE+ budget still matches the powered device after any network redesign.

What limit appears first when the converter runs continuously at full load?

The 30W POE+ power budget per port is the first constraint; if the attached device draws more than 30W the converter will trigger over-current protection and drop the link.
