Comnet CNFE2004S1APOE/M 100 Mb Media Converter

Product Description

The COMNET CNFE2004S1APOE/M is a 100 Mb media converter designed for enterprise network infrastructure applications. It converts copper twisted-pair (TX) signals to fiber optic (FX) transmission, extending network reach beyond the limitations of standard copper cabling. The unit supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing it to deliver power to connected devices through the network cable. This type of converter is typically installed by licensed low-voltage technicians or network infrastructure professionals working on structured cabling projects.

This media converter is suited for enterprise environments where reliable fiber optic signal conversion is required at the 100 Mb Fast Ethernet tier. Typical installations include commercial buildings, campus networks, and industrial facilities where copper-to-fiber transitions are needed to bridge distance gaps or isolate network segments. The PoE capability makes it practical for deployments involving IP cameras, access control readers, or VoIP handsets at the fiber endpoint.

Key Features

• 100 Mb Fast Ethernet copper-to-fiber media conversion
• Integrated PoE output for powering downstream network devices
• Enterprise-grade classification for structured network deployments
• Single-unit packaging for individual installation or sparing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or addition for enterprise Fast Ethernet media converter applications operating at the 100 Mb tier with PoE requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or network cabling technician familiar with structured cabling standards such as TIA-568. Power down or de-energize the connected network segment before terminating fiber or copper connections. Follow local electrical codes when deploying PoE-capable devices, particularly regarding power budgets and connected device ratings. Do not exceed the rated PoE output when attaching powered devices to the converter.
