IMC - The New Low Cost PoE and PoE+ Gigabit Media Converters

March 2012

 

 

IMC Networks, a leading manufacturer of low cost media converters and Ethernet fiber optic access solutions for government, enterprise and service providers, today expanded its Power over Ethernet (PoE) media converter product line with the new PoE and PoE+ Giga-MiniMcs. Designed using the IEEE 802.3af (15.4W of power) and 802.3at (25.5W of power) PoE standards, the new products support all PoE compatible peripheral devices.

 

“The growing market demand to power PoE-based devices is more prevalent now than ever, prompting IMC Networks to introduce new and improved PoE and PoE+ media converters. The latest devices require more power sourcing than standard PoE and as a result, we are able to meet these demands today and in the future with new product introductions,” states David Zaveski, Senior Sales Engineer at IMC Networks.

 

The IMC PoE and PoE+ Gigabit Ethernet media converters are classified as Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), providing up to two PSE 10/100/1000Base-T copper ports and one SFP uplink port. These products are ideal for the Fiber-to-the-Desktop (FTTD) market where PoE phones require power sourcing or in building security applications where reach must extend beyond 100 meters. The PoE and PoE+ Giga-MiniMc products provide a low cost, space-saving Gigabit solution and include advanced features such as Power Reset and VLAN tags.

 

Top key features included:

  • Supports PoE and PoE+ power ranges on copper ports
  • Supports Power Reset (Configuration power reset)
  • Supports both 100 Mbps and 1000 Mbps speed fiber SFPs
  • Supports 10/100/1000Mbps rate conversion on copper ports
  • Transparent to VLAN tags
Supports Jumbo Frames (10240)
