OmniConverter®
GPoE/SE and GPoE+/SE
User Manual
Product Overview
The OmniConverter GPoE/SE and GPoE+/SE are cost-effective, multi-port media
converters that convert 10/100/1000BASE-T copper to 1000BASE-X fiber and
support Power-over-Ethernet (PoE and PoE+). Classified as Power Sourcing
Equipment (PSE), the GPoE/SE and GPoE+/SE provides power to a Powered
Device (PD) using standard UTP cables that carry the Ethernet data.
The main function of the PSE is to automatically detect a PD, classify the PD and
supply power to the link (only if a PD is detected). The PSE detects a PD by applying
a low voltage on the cable and then looks for a signature resistance from the attached
PD. A compliant PD is required to have this signature resistance. Classification of
the PD is done to determine the maximum power levels required by the PD. The
PSE will determine the proper classification and power requirements of the PD.
After the PD is classified, the PD is powered up according to its power requirements.
OmniConverter GPoE/SE and GPoE+/SE automatically preform the detection,
classification and powering functions. The GPoE/SE supports IEEE 802.3af PoE
standard providing up to 15.4W of DC power to the PD. The GPoE+/SE supports
IEEE 802.3at PoE+ standard providing up to 30W of DC power to the PD.
The fiber and copper ports support auto-negotiation and will independently
negotiate with the attached device. The copper ports support auto-crossover
10/100/1000BASE-T interface and Alternative B powering mode.
