Transition Networks SPOEB1040-105-AR Poe to Sfp Media Converter

Product Description

The TRANSITION NETWORKS SPOEB1040-105-AR is a 10/100BASE-TX Power over Ethernet (PoE) to open SFP media converter designed for enterprise network infrastructure. This device bridges copper Ethernet connections to fiber or other SFP-compatible media, extending network reach and enabling flexible cabling in environments where copper alone is insufficient. It accepts PoE input on the twisted-pair side, making it well suited for deployments where a separate power supply is not practical. Network engineers and low-voltage installation contractors are the primary installers of this type of device.

This media converter is intended for enterprise PoE network deployments where copper-to-fiber or copper-to-SFP media conversion is required. The open SFP slot accepts third-party SFP transceivers, giving network teams flexibility in selecting fiber type, wavelength, and reach to match the existing infrastructure. Typical installation scenarios include connecting IP cameras, wireless access points, and other PoE-powered edge devices to a fiber backbone or extending network segments beyond standard copper distance limits.

Key Features

• 10/100BASE-TX copper RJ45 input with PoE support for powered-device flexibility
• Open SFP slot accepts a wide range of third-party SFP transceivers
• Enables copper-to-fiber media conversion for extended network reach
• Enterprise-class PoE device category for structured network environments
• Single-unit packaging for straightforward individual deployment or sparing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style enterprise PoE media converter compatible with standard 10/100BASE-TX PoE network infrastructure and open-standard SFP transceivers.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage contractor or network engineer in accordance with applicable TIA/EIA cabling standards and local electrical codes. Power down or disconnect the PoE source before connecting or removing SFP transceivers or Ethernet cables. Verify that the SFP transceiver selected is compatible with the target fiber type and wavelength before installation. Do not install in environments that exceed the device's rated operating temperature or humidity range.
