S-1110HP-XT Hi-PoE Media Converter Features

Power Over Ethernet (PSE)	Fully Compliant with IEEE 802.3bt Type 3 and 4 PSE Performs the Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) function on 1 or 2 UTP ports for IEEE 802.3bt compliant devices. All models support Type 1 (PoE), Type 2 (PoE+), Type 3 (Hi-PoE) and Type 4 (Hi-PoE) PD gear
Advanced Power Management	Enable/Disable PSE power by UTP port Single or Dual PD signature detection Over-Current Protection PD power classification detection (Class 0)
PD Power Reset	Ideal for remotely resetting equipment, this configurable function performs a momentary power reset to the attached Powered Device (PD). When enabled, the media converter will, upon loss of fiber RX, turn off PSE output power supplied to the PD device for 2 seconds then turn the power back on and leave it on until such time that another fiber RX link is lost (after it was re-established). When disabled, a loss of fiber RX has no effect on PSE power to the PD device(s).
Powered Device Support	Type: 1, 2, 3, and 4 PDs Class: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 PDs Supports both Single-Signature and Dual-Signature PD connections
Multiport Configurations	2 port: 1x 10/100/1000Base-T and 1x 1000Base-X fixed fiber port 3 port: 2x 10/100/1000Base-T and 1x 1000Base-X fixed fiber port
Power Strain Relief strap	Included with all models, a strain relief strap is provided to ensure a solid and secure power connection to the media converter. Ideal for areas that may be exposed to vibration.
Auto-Negotiation (802.3u)	The media converter supports auto negotiation. The 1000Base-X fiber interface negotiates according to 802.3 clause 37. The 10/100/1000Base-T negotiates according to 802.3 clause 28 and 40. The 1000Base-X will link up with its partner after the highest common denominator (HCD) is reached and the copper has linked up with its partner. The 1000Base-X will continue to cycle through negotiation transmitting a remote fault of offline (provided this is enabled through the switch setting) until the copper is linked up and the HCDs match. The media converter supports auto-negotiation of full duplex, half duplex, remote fault, full duplex pause, asymmetric pause and Auto MDI-X.
Auto-MDIX	Auto-MDIX (automatic medium-dependant interface crossover) detects the signaling on the copper Ethernet interface to determine the type of cable connected (straight-through or crossover) and automatically configures the connection when enabled. The media converter can also correct for wires swapped within a pair. The media converter will adjust for up to 120ns of delay skew between the 1000Base-T pairs.
Smart Link Pass-Through	When the Link Mode switch is placed into Smart Link Pass-Through mode, the copper Ethernet port will reflect the state of the 1000Base-X media converter port. This feature can be used whether fiber auto-negotiation is enabled or disabled.
Fiber Fault Alert	With Fiber Fault Alert the state of the 1000Base-X receiver is passed to the 1000Base-X transmitter. This provides fault notification to the partner device attached to the 1000Base-X interface of the media converter. If the 1000Base-X transmitter is off as a result of this fault it will be turned on periodically to allow the condition to clear should the partner device on the 1000Base-X be using a similar technique. This eliminates the possibility of lockouts that occur with some media converters. Applies only when fiber auto-negotiation is disabled.
Pause (IEEE 802.3xy)	Pause signaling is an IEEE feature that temporarily suspends data transmission between two devices in the event that one of the devices becomes overwhelmed. The media converter supports pause negotiation on the 10/100/1000Base-T connection and 1000Base-X fiber connection. With Autoneg on the device will advertise sym and asymmetric pause With Autoneg off – Pause receive and send will be disabled
Duplex	Full and half duplex operation supported.
Jumbo Packets	Transparent to jumbo packets up to 10KB.
VLAN	Transparent to VLAN tagged packets.
Remote Loopback	Capable of performing a loopback on the 1000Base-X fiber interface.

Gigabit Fiber to IP Cameras

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.

Gigabit Fiber to Wireless Access Points

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.

Gigabit Fiber to the Desktop / VoIP ( Voice over IP ) Phones

Connect 10/100/1000 workstations and VoIP Phones to a Gigabit Backbone

Extend the reach to your workstation and VoIP phones using fiber media converters. For VoIP phones that require 30-100 Watts power, such as those 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 IP Phone. The Hi-PoE Media Converter is converting the data from fiber to copper, adding power and transmitting it to the IP Phone.

Redundant Dual-Fiber Uplink

Assured Fiber Uplink Connectivity for your critical equipment

When extending the reach of your critical Ethernet equipment using fiber media converters, a dual fiber port media converter with Fiber Redundancy capability provides a fast switch-over of link traffic from one fiber connection to the other converters.

Two modes of operation are possible.;

1. Redundant Fiber : When the primary link fails, the media converter redirects traffic to the other fiber port within 50ms.

2. Redundant Primary : When the primary link fails, the media converter redirects traffic to the secondary fiber port within 50ms. Upon restoration of the primary fiber link, traffic is automatically redirected back to the primary fiber.

Single Mode / Single Fiber

Connect copper ports over a single fiber strand ( also referred to as “Bi-Directional” BiDi )

When Single Strand fiber is used, a pair of Single Fiber Media Converters is needed for the copper to fiber conversion. Perle Single Fiber Media Converters are also referred to as “Up/Down” models. For example the S-1110HP-SC05U (“Up”) and S-1110HP-SC05D (“Down”), shown below, must be used in pairs. An “Up” must be matched with a “Down” peer to deal with transmit and receive frequencies separately.

S-1110HP-SC05US-1110HP-SC05D

The majority of installations for single mode fiber media converters are of the “dual connector” or “dual fiber” type where one fiber connection is used for transmit, the other for receive. These are physically “crossed” to match up the Transmit/Receive links.

However, to reduce costs, or where there are limits on available fiber, WDM technology may be utilized. WDM uses separate transmit and receive frequencies to communicate on a single fiber strand. WDM technology relies on the fact that optical fibers can carry many wavelengths of light simultaneously without interaction between each wavelength. Thus, a single fiber can carry many separate wavelength signals or channels simultaneously.

So remember, if Single Strand fiber is used, you will need an “Up” Media Converter on one side and a “Down” Media Converter on the other for copper to fiber conversion.

Single Mode / Single Strand (WDM) Fiber

WDM technology reduces costs and maximizes fiber usage by transmitting on separate frequencies within a single fiber that can carry multiple light wavelengths simultaneously without interference. WDM comes in two forms: conventional/coarse (CWDM) and dense (DWDM), which use different wavelength patterns.
