Connect 10/100/1000 IP Cameras to Gigabit Backbone
Extend the reach to IP cameras using fiber media converters. Security cameras are typically installed in remote locations
throughout a facility. For cameras that are in the ceiling or other inaccessible areas like rooftops, light poles, along
fences, pipelines and transit routes, the cost of bringing electrical power to each camera is eliminated by powering the
equipment through the UTP cable using a PoE media converter. Cameras with features like Pan-Tilt-Zoom ( PTZ),
heaters, de-icers, or blowers generally require higher power (30-100 Watts), making the Perle S-1110HP PoE Media
Converters the ideal solution.
Fiber is run from an existing data closet to an area with access to power. The Hi-PoE Media Converter can be powered
by 57vDC or standard 100 to 240 AC power. The media converter is attached to the power supply and the fiber cable.
Copper (UTP or STP cable) Ethernet can be extended another 100 meters to the IP camera. The Hi-PoE Media
Converter is converting the data from fiber to copper, adding power and transmitting it to the security camera.
To simplify cabling, multiport PoE media converters enable chaining, with a fiber uplink port and a fiber downlink port, of
the fiber between media converters ( also known as a bus architecture ).
A second option is to have redundant fiber links for installations requiring fiber facility protection. There is an active fiber
port and a protection fiber port that can support a fiber failure switchover of less than 50 milliseconds. The Hi-PoE media
converter supplies power to the camera, and has power protection from an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) battery
back-up. In the event of a fiber cut and a loss of power, the camera continues to send data on the protection link.
