Altronix Corp NETWAYSP8PL2 Fiber Media Converter 8 Port

Product Description

The ALTRONIX CORP NETWAYSP8PL2 is an 8-port fiber media converter with 2 SFP uplink slots and 240 watts of integrated power delivery. It converts copper Ethernet signals to fiber for extended-distance network runs, making it well suited for security, access control, and low-voltage data infrastructure projects. Licensed low-voltage technicians and security system integrators typically specify this unit where long cable runs or electrical isolation between network segments is required. The onboard power capacity supports downstream powered devices, reducing the need for separate power supplies at remote locations.

This media converter is applied in commercial and light-industrial installations where copper-to-fiber conversion is needed to bridge distances beyond standard Ethernet limits. It fits into structured cabling systems supporting IP cameras, access control panels, and other networked devices. The 2 SFP slots allow flexible fiber module selection based on distance and fiber type. A built-in power supply simplifies deployment in cabinets or enclosures where rack space and power circuits are limited.

• Copper-to-fiber media conversion for extended network runs
• Designed for security, access control, and low-voltage network infrastructure

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style unit for low-voltage fiber network infrastructure applications including IP security and access control systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or network technician familiar with structured cabling standards. Power down all connected devices before making or breaking fiber or copper connections. Fiber connectors should be cleaned prior to insertion to avoid signal loss. Local electrical and low-voltage codes, including applicable NEC requirements, should be observed during installation.
