About the PoE McBasic
The PoE McBasic is a solution for network applications that require power over
Ethernet for locations inside buildings where Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE)/ Power
over Ethernet (PoE)/ is required to power an Ethernet device. The standalone unit
offers 3 ports: a 100 Mbps fixed fiber transceiver, 1x9, uplink for the network
connection, one PS) 10/100Base-T copper port that provides PSE/PoE (IEEE802.3af),
and one 10/100 Mbps copper port. This unmanaged unit 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 McBasic provisions up to 15.4
watts on one PSE copper port, and is powered by an internal power supply,
supporting 100-240 VAC.
The copper ports Auto Negotiate to the connected device’s speed and duplex mode:
10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, and HDX or FDX (including Flow Control). The PoE McBasic
supports jumbo frames up to 10240.
Installation
PoE McBasic installs virtually anywhere: as a standalone, table-top device, with
rackmount ears, or using a Wallmount bracket. The rackmount ears and wallmount
bracket are optional accessories available through IMC Networks distributors.
Installation Tip
Several models of the PoE McBasic 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 McBasic , TX/SSLX-
SM1310-SC (which has 1310 xmt and 1550 rcv) to a product which has 1550 xmt and 1310
rcv, and is a single strand 10/100 MediaConverter that offers 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]).
