Vigitron Inc. VI50001 Sfp Media Converter Poe

Product Description

The VIGITRON INC. VI50001 is a single-port, Power over Ethernet (PoE) powered SFP media converter designed for network infrastructure installations. It converts media types between copper and fiber connections using an SFP module interface, drawing its operating power directly from a PoE-enabled source rather than requiring a separate power supply. This makes it well suited for installations where conduit runs or panel space limit the availability of local AC power. Network technicians and low-voltage integrators install this device where a reliable, compact media conversion point is needed within a structured cabling system.

The VI50001 is intended for use in commercial and residential network installations where extending or converting Ethernet signals between copper and fiber segments is required. It fits into deployments such as IP camera systems, access control networks, and building automation backbones where PoE infrastructure is already in place. A single SFP slot allows the installer to select the appropriate fiber module for the specific run length and fiber type on site.

Key Features

• Single-port SFP media converter for copper-to-fiber or fiber-to-copper conversion
• Powered directly by PoE — no separate power adapter required
• SFP slot accepts field-selectable modules for application flexibility
• Compact form factor suited for tight rack or enclosure installations
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style media converter compatible with PoE-enabled switches and injectors that supply sufficient wattage to power the device; verify PoE class requirements against the source switch before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or network technician familiar with structured cabling standards. Ensure the upstream PoE switch or injector port is disabled before connecting or disconnecting the unit to avoid unintended power surges to the SFP module. Verify SFP module compatibility and fiber polarity before finalizing connections. Follow applicable TIA-568 and local low-voltage wiring codes during installation.
