ROBOfiber FC-1002-PSE PoE Plus PSE Ethernet Media Converter - Port Pinouts

As mentioned, an Ethernet crossover cable is used to connect two ports of the same configuration (i.e. MDI-to-MDI or MDIX-to-MDIX). However, this may generate confusion when deploying two different types of Ethernet cables. Thus the auto-MDI/MDIX technology is used to fix this problem:
It automatically switches between MDI and MDIX as needed. Auto MDI/MDIX ports on newer device interfaces detect if the connection requires a crossover, then automatically choose the MDI or MDIX configuration to properly match the other end of the link. In this case, it doesn’t matter if you’re using straight through or crossover cables. The chart below shows cable types for MDI/ MDIX and auto-MDIX.

Setting MDI/MDIX Device Type
PC or other MDI Device Switch, hub or other MDIX Device
MDI Crossover cable Straight-through cable
MDIX Straight-through cable Crossover cable
Auto- MDI/MDIX Either crossover or straight-through cable

❖ Power over Ethernet(PoE) Pinout Diagram

Power over Ethernet or PoE is a standard system that transmits or delivers electrical power along with data through the same cable. We know that there are different types of network cables available such as Cat6, Cat7, Cat5e, etc, and different types of ports also
available such as RJ45. RJ45 has a total of eight pins and it connects with an Ethernet cable that consists of eight separate wires. Not all these eight wires are used for data transmission, so some of them can be used for electrical power transmission. As per the IEEE standard, the electrical current should interface with the data transmission and the cable should be safe.
The Power over Ethernet system works under the standardization of the (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers)IEEE 802.3 committee. Generally, PoE delivers 47-57V DC power. This PoE system is used for both data and power transmission purposes in Internet Protocol(IP) cameras, Wireless Access Points(WAPs), Voice over Internet Protocol(VoIP), etc.
According to the IEEE standard cat5 or better cable is required for the transmission of high power levels. But cat3 cable also can be used if less power transmission is required.
The PoE system was physically implemented under the specification of IEEE 802.3af-2003.
Also, we know that there are two categories for the RJ45 color code – T568A and T568B.

❖ Installation

Before installation, confirm that the work environment meets installation requirements, including power needs and space.

  1. Avoid direct sunlight, keep away from the heat sources or excessive EMI.
  2. Examine cables and plugs are matching requirements.
  3. Check copper cables to not exceed 100m(~305ft) in length.
  4. Power: AC 90-240V power input
  5. Environment requirements:
    Working Temperature: 0~50℃ (32 to 122℉)
    Storage Temperature: -20~70℃ (-4 to +158℉)
    Relative Humidity 5%~95% (noncondensing)

❖ Assembly, Startup, and Removal

  • Installation: Mount the unit onto a fixture, or camera housings, e.g. a plank, (either on the wall or on a flat surface) with at least 2 screws piercing through the holes on the mounting frame to secure it in position.
  • Startup: Connect the supply voltage to start up the Media Converter via the terminal block.
  • Removal: Locate and remove the securing screws. Usually, but not limited to, at least 2 screws.

❖ Wiring Requirements

  1. It is required to check that type, quantity and specifications of cable used match the requirements before laying out the cable;
  2. Check for cable damage and quality assurance booklet before installation;
  3. Cable specifications, quantity, direction and laying position need to match application requirements;
  4. Cables must be in good condition, no cuts/tearing of jacket;
  5. Cables should generally run straight between turning points;
  6. Cable should lay straight in wiring ducts or plenum space. Cables should be banded and tightened to enough support points when not in ducts;
  7. User cables should be separated from power lines. Cables, power lines and grounding lines cannot be overlapped and mixed when they are in the same path. Avoid aerial cable lengths, cables cannot hold themselves;
  8. Fiber Pigtails cannot be tied and should be bended as less as possible. Bending radius cannot be too small (small radius causes high fiber loss link).
