Media Converters and PoE –
Solutions extending beyond 1173 meters

Rack mounted media converters are available with or without power injection for a Power over Ethernet application. They are housed in our specially designed power patch panels that provide slots for power supplies and media converter modules. Power patch panel units can be designed with a single power supply or add a 2nd for redundancy. The remaining positions in the 4U or 2U versions are used for the media modules.

When selecting a copper/fiber media converter, we offer a seamless transition and the ability to take your data out to extended distances. Most Chameleon configurations also offer a very useful ‘remote locate’ feature where a simple push of a button at the local or remote end will illuminate an LED at the other end of the link - allowing network managers to easily map all their ports.

At the remote end, the GatorLink provides the perfect solution for extending Power over Ethernet beyond 100 meters. Whether you are taking PoE to security cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones or access controls, GatorLink can be easily installed without adding a power outlet. We take power from the equipment room end all the way to your remote locations – saving you installation costs and allowing you to place equipment exactly where you need it. Of course, if you have power at your remote location, we have a GatorLink that can be plugged in as well.
