OmniConverter GPoE+/Sx 8-Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch

This compact unmanaged switch provides eight 10/100/1000Base-T copper ports with PoE+ power sourcing and Gigabit fiber uplinks. It extends network distance over fiber cabling while delivering power to connected devices. The unit is rail-mountable and operates as a standard Layer 2 Ethernet switch.

Suits installers needing fiber uplinks

Buyers who require managed features such as VLANs, SNMP, or port mirroring should look elsewhere. The switch does not support stacking beyond physical daisy-chaining via a second fiber port. It is not intended for environments needing software configuration or traffic prioritisation.

Eight PoE+ copper ports

The primary specification is the combination of eight powered RJ-45 ports and fiber uplink capability in an unmanaged Layer 2 device. DIP-switches select operating modes including MUX and Directed Switch functions. Models with dual fiber ports support redundant uplinks with sub 50ms restoration.

Questions about this item

What mounting hardware does the OmniConverter GPoE+/Sx switch need for DIN-rail or wall installation?

The unit is DIN-rail mountable and wall-mountable; it clips onto a standard DIN rail and includes keyhole slots for wall screws.

Which step is often missed when installing the fiber uplink on this switch?

After inserting the SC single-mode fiber into the Gigabit uplink port, the DIP switches must be set for the desired mode before powering the switch.

What maintenance will the PoE+ ports on this switch require over time?

No scheduled maintenance is needed; if a port fails, replace the entire switch as it is an unmanaged unit with no field-serviceable parts.
