Altronix Corp NETWAYSP8WPX2 Managed Media Converter

Product Description

The ALTRONIX CORP NETWAYSP8WPX2 is an 8-port managed fiber media converter with 2 SFP uplink slots and 240 watts of PoE output, housed in a NEMA-rated enclosure. It converts fiber optic signals to copper Ethernet while supplying Power over Ethernet to connected devices such as IP cameras, access control readers, and wireless access points. The NEMA enclosure provides protection in demanding environments where standard rack-mount equipment is not suitable. This unit is designed for installation by licensed low-voltage or data network technicians working on security, surveillance, and access control infrastructure.

The NETWAYSP8WPX2 is suited for commercial and industrial installations where fiber backbone connectivity is required at the edge of the network. Typical applications include perimeter surveillance systems, building access control panels, and remote IDF closets where a weatherproof or hardened enclosure is needed alongside managed switching and media conversion. The 2 SFP slots allow flexible fiber module selection to match existing fiber plant specifications.

Key Features

• 8 fiber-capable ports with managed switching functionality
• 2 SFP uplink slots for flexible fiber module compatibility
• 240W total PoE output to power downstream IP devices
• NEMA-rated enclosure for use in non-conditioned or outdoor-adjacent environments
• Managed configuration supports VLAN, QoS, and network monitoring typical of enterprise-grade deployments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style managed media converter for commercial fiber-to-copper network edge deployments requiring PoE distribution and a hardened NEMA enclosure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or network technician familiar with structured cabling standards and local electrical codes. De-energize all connected PoE devices and disconnect fiber runs before servicing the unit. SFP modules must be matched to the existing fiber type and wavelength before insertion. Ensure the NEMA enclosure is properly grounded and sealed per the enclosure rating requirements for the installation environment.
