About the PoE Giga-MiniMc
The PoE Giga-MiniMc is a solution for private network applications that require
power over Ethernet for locations inside buildings where PoE is required to power an
Ethernet device. The standalone unit offers a model with one SFP or fixed fiber
transceiver, 1x9, uplink for the network connection, one PSE 10/100/1000Base-T
copper port that provides Power-over-Ethernet (IEEE802.3af), and one
10/100/1000Mbps copper port. As a fiber-fed demarcation unit, it provides both
power and data to a remote device over a standard CAT5 copper line, eliminating the
need for a power connection to the remote device. The PoE Giga-MiniMc provisions
up to 15.4 watts on one copper port, and can be powered by an external AC adapter
or DC terminal block. For more robust power requirements on both copper ports,
please refer to the information about the PoE+ Giga-MiniMc on Page 13.
The SFP uplink can support fiber or copper SFPs. The fiber SFP, available in SC or LC
connectors, supports 100FDX or 1000FDX; a copper SFP supports the SGMII
interface (10/100/1000Mbps). The SFP, with or without DDMI, is available for
purchase through IMC Networks Distributors. The SFP must be MSA-compliant.
The copper ports auto negotiate to the connected device’s speed and duplex mode:
10 Mbps, 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps, and HDX or FDX (including Flow Control). The
PoE Giga-MiniMc supports jumbo frames up to 10240.
Installation
PoE Giga-MiniMc installs virtually anywhere: as a standalone, table-top device, on a
DIN rail, or using a Wallmount bracket. As a standalone device, the end user can
install PoE Giga-MiniMc in locations with extremely limited space. Velcro strips are
also included to attach the device to most surfaces. The DIN Rail clips and
Wallmount bracket are optional, available for purchase through IMC networks
Distributors.
Installation Tip
Several models of the PoE Giga-MiniMc support single-strand fiber for operation. Since single-
strand fiber products use optics that transmit and receive on two different wavelengths, single-
strand fiber products must be deployed in pairs. For example, connect a PoE Giga-MiniMc ,
TX/SSLX-SM1310-SC (which has 1310 xmt and 1550 rcv) to a product which has 1550 xmt
and 1310 rcv, e.g.
PoE Giga-MiniMc
, TX/SSLX-SM1550-SC. The two connected products
must also have the same speed and distance capabilities (i.e. both are single-mode [20km] or
both are single/PLUS [40km]).
NOTE
Unless noted otherwise, any reference is applicable for both the 1x9 and SFP version of
the
