PoE+ Gigabit Industrial Media Converter | 1-RJ45 Ethernet Port, 1-SFP Fiber Port

Industrial PoE+ Ethernet-to-Fiber Conversion

The MF7260P PoE+ Gigabit Industrial Media Converter provides a practical solution for extending Ethernet connectivity over fiber while delivering power to compatible network devices.

The copper interface supports 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet, while the fiber interface accepts a 1000Mbps SFP module. This allows a remote Ethernet device to communicate with the network over fiber while receiving PoE or PoE+ power through its RJ45 connection.

By combining media conversion and PoE power delivery in one device, the MF7260P can simplify installations where remote network equipment requires both fiber connectivity and local power.

IEEE802.3af PoE and 802.3at PoE+

The MF7260P operates as Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) and supports both IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at standards.

• IEEE 802.3af: Up to 15.4W
• IEEE 802.3at: Up to 30W

The converter automatically detects powered devices connected to its RJ45 port and supplies power according to the supported PoE standard.

This makes the MF7260P well suited for remote PoE devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and other Ethernet equipment where installing a separate power source may be inconvenient.

Extend PoE Devices Over Fiber

A typical MF7260P deployment connects a network switch to the converter through fiber and then connects the remote powered device through the RJ45 copper port.

NetworkSwitch → Fiber → MF7260P → PoE Device

This configuration provides both network connectivity and PoE power at the remote location.

The MF7260P can be used for:

• IP security cameras
• Wireless access points
• Industrial Ethernet devices
• Remote monitoring equipment
• Transportation and traffic systems
• Security and surveillance networks
• Distributed industrial networks

Flexible Gigabit SFP Connectivity

The MF7260P includes a 1000Mbps SFP fiber slot, allowing the fiber interface to be configured using a compatible SFP module. The converter supports both multimode and single-mode fiber.

The VERSITRON SFP options listed for the MF7260P include multimode modules for distances up to 2 km and single-mode modules supporting distances from 10 km to 100 km, depending on the selected SFP. Single-fiber bi-directional options are also available.

Available configurations include:

• 1000Mbps multimode fiber
• 1000Mbps single-mode fiber
• Single-fiber bi-directional SFPs
• Fiber distances up to 100 km
• CWDM and DWDM options

SFP modules are sold separately.

Reliable Gigabit Network Performance

The MF7260P uses non-blocking store-and-forward switching with a switching capacity of 4Gbps. It supports wire-speed filtering and forwarding along with IEEE 802.3x flow control for full-duplex operation and back-pressure for half-duplex operation.

The converter also supports:

• 4K MAC address table
• Jumbo frames up to 9.6K bytes
• Auto-negotiation
• Auto MDI/MDI-X
• Full- and half-duplex operation
• LED link/activity indicators

These features help provide reliable Ethernet connectivity across mixed copper and fiber networks.

Built for Harsh Industrial Environments

The MF7260P is specifically designed for industrial deployments where conventional commercial media converters may not provide sufficient environmental protection.

Its IP44 metal enclosure, corrosion-resistant construction, DIN rail mounting, redundant DC power inputs, and 4KV Ethernet surge protection provide additional protection for installations exposed to electrical noise and demanding operating conditions.

The converter operates from -40°C to +80°C, making it suitable for outdoor cabinets, industrial control environments, transportation infrastructure, and other locations subject to significant temperature variation.

Redundant DC Power for Network Reliability

The MF7260P features dual 9–52VDC power inputs with auto-sensing, providing a redundant power option for installations where network availability is important. If one power source becomes unavailable, the redundant input can help maintain operation.

This makes the converter particularly useful in industrial networks where a single point of power failure could interrupt communications with critical remote equipment.

Typical Applications

The MF7260P is designed for applications requiring reliable Ethernet connectivity, fiber optic network extension, and PoE power delivery.

Typical applications include:

• IP Video Surveillance: Connect and power remote security cameras over fiber.
• Industrial Automation: Extend Ethernet connectivity to remote industrial equipment.
• Intelligent Transportation Systems: Connect remote cameras and Ethernet equipment along transportation infrastructure.
• Wireless Networks: Extend fiber connectivity to remote PoE-powered wireless access points.
• Security Systems: Provide fiber connectivity and PoE power for remote security equipment.
• Remote Monitoring: Connect networked monitoring equipment across electrically noisy or geographically distributed environments.
• Industrial Communications: Build reliable copper-to-fiber connections in demanding operating environments.

Why Choose the MF7260P?

The MF7260P combines Gigabit copper-to-fiber conversion, PoE/PoE+ power delivery, flexible SFP connectivity, and industrial environmental protection in one compact platform.

Its combination of 30W PoE+ support, redundant DC power, 4KV surge protection, IP44 metal construction, DIN rail mounting, and -40°C to +80°C operation makes it particularly well suited for industrial and infrastructure networks where reliability is essential.

The SFP-based fiber interface also gives network designers flexibility to select the appropriate fiber type and transmission distance for the application, with available VERSITRON SFP modules supporting connections from short multimode links to long-distance single-mode fiber networks.
