Connect 10/100/1000 Wireless Access Points to Gigabit Backbone
Extend the reach to wireless access points ( AP ) using fiber media converters. When a company deploys a wireless
network in their office or large warehouse, APs need to be set up throughout the facility to ensure complete coverage for
reliability. The network manager will likely need to extend further than the 100 meters allowed by copper cable to reach
many of the APs.
For wireless access points that require 30-100 Watts, such as those meeting the 802.11ax standard, 802.11ac standard
or containing dual radios, the Perle S-1110HP PoE Media Converter is 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 Wireless Access Point. The Hi-PoE
Media Converter is converting the data from fiber to copper, adding power and transmitting it to the WAP.
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 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.
