IFS MC201-1P/1FS User Manual 1
Overview
Thank you for purchasing the IFS MC201-1P/1FS 10/100Mbps
Ethernet Twisted pair to 100Base-FX fiber optic PoE Bridge
Converter. This converter is used to convert one type of media
signal to a different type of media that allows two segments to
connect easily, efficiently and inexpensively. The converter
supports Power over Ethernet to power one IEEE 802.3af
compliant powered device.
About the MC201-1P/1FS
The MC201-1P/1FS is an IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet
Converter that supplies 48 VDC over Ethernet cable. The
MC201-1P/1FS IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet Converter
inserts DC Voltage onto a Category 5 cable, allowing the cable
between the Converter (MC201-1P/1FS) and PoE PD
(Powered Device) to transfer data and power simultaneously.
The maximum distance between the Converter (MC201-
1P/1FS) and PoE PD is 328 ft. (100m). MC201-1P/1FS
combines Ethernet with IEEE 802.3af power and transfers
over the twisted pair cables. A PoE splitter can be used to
separate the Ethernet data and power if needed to power a
non-PoE device.
With the MC201-1P/1FS, only one Ethernet cable is needed to
carry both power and data to each device providing simpler
network designs, higher reliability while reducing costs.
Note: PSE
(Power Sourcing Equipment) is a device (switch, or
hub for instance) that will provide power in a PoE setup. The
maximum allowed continuous output power per such device is
15.4W according to the IEEE 802.3af standard.
