Struggling to power and connect remote devices over long distances? The StarTech.com IMC1GSFP30W 1000 Mbit/s 1000Base-SX 100 m Media Converter turns a fiber link into a PoE-enabled Ethernet port, letting you deliver both data and up to 30 W of power to cameras, sensors or access points far from the switch.
Key Features of a 30 W Media Converter
- Form factor: 4.5 sq in, 80 g. Tiny size lets you fit it in cramped panels.
- Operating temperature: 40 °C to 75 °C. Works reliably in hot industrial sites.
- Storage temperature: -40 °C to 85 °C. Safe to store in cold warehouses.
- PoE budget: 30 W. Powers a wide range of PoE/PoE+ devices without extra injectors.
- Data rate: 1000 Mbit/s. Guarantees gigabit performance over fiber.
- SFP slot: Open, MSA-compliant. Choose the exact SFP module you need for multimode or single-mode fibre.
- Ethernet port: 1000Base-T RJ-45 female. Connects directly to standard network gear.
- DIN rail mountable: Includes rails for secure installation in racks or panels.
- Surge protection: 2 kV rating. Shields equipment from voltage spikes.
Why Choose a StarTech.com Media Converter
If you manage a campus, warehouse or factory, you often face the dilemma of extending network reach while still needing power at the endpoint. Traditional copper runs can’t cover the distance, and separate PoE injectors add cost and clutter. This media converter merges fibre connectivity with PoE in a single, compact unit, eliminating extra hardware and simplifying cabling. It fits neatly into existing DIN-rail setups and tolerates harsh temperature swings, making it ideal for industrial environments.
Benefits of StarTech.com Media Converter
- Simplified wiring: One device provides both data and power, reducing cable clutter.
- Space-saving: Small footprint frees up valuable panel space.
- Reliable power: 30 W budget supports cameras, APs, sensors and lighting.
- Robust design: Handles extreme temperatures and surge events for industrial use.
Usages of a 30 W Media Converter
Ideal for connecting security cameras, wireless access points, IoT sensors or LED lighting in remote areas such as outdoor campuses, large warehouses, manufacturing floors or any site where fibre runs are required but power must also be delivered.
