PoE Fiber Media Converter LINOVISION POE-SP1224F Switchable 12/24V DC

Description

Product Overview

The LINOVISION POE-SP1224F PoE Fiber Media Converter is engineered to bridge power and data in demanding industrial environments. By extracting up to 30 W from a standard Power over Ethernet (PoE) source, the unit delivers a selectable 12 V or 24 V DC output while simultaneously providing a gigabit Ethernet link through an SFP fiber module. This dual‑function capability eliminates the need for a separate local power adapter, reducing cable clutter and simplifying installation. The converter’s full‑metal chassis measures just 3.26 × 2.48 × 1.02 inches, offering a rugged yet compact footprint that fits easily into tight enclosures or mounting panels. Designed for long‑distance transmission, the SFP interface supports fiber runs up to 20 km, ensuring reliable, interference‑free connectivity for remote sensors, cameras, and control devices in smart city, transportation, and factory automation applications.

Usage

In modern industrial IoT deployments, power availability is often a limiting factor. The POE‑SP1224F solves this challenge by converting PoE into a usable DC voltage for devices that lack native PoE support, such as legacy IP cameras, access‑control readers, audio speakers, and edge routers. Its gigabit Ethernet over fiber capability makes it ideal for extending network reach to remote substations, outdoor surveillance posts, or distributed control panels where copper cabling would be impractical or prone to electromagnetic interference. The converter can be mounted on DIN rails, panel backs, or directly onto a network rack, providing a clean, organized solution for both power and data distribution. Its switchable voltage output allows a single unit to serve a mixed fleet of equipment, reducing inventory complexity and enabling rapid reconfiguration as project requirements evolve.

FAQ

What type of fiber cable is required for the 20 km transmission?

The converter works with standard single‑mode fiber (OS1/OS2) using an SFP module that matches the wavelength of your network. For distances up to 20 km, a 1310 nm or 1550 nm SFP transceiver is recommended.

Can the output voltage be changed while the device is powered?

Yes. The POE‑SP1224F includes a switch that allows you to toggle between 12 V and 24 V DC without interrupting the PoE input. This enables on‑the‑fly adjustments to match the requirements of connected equipment.

Is the converter compatible with PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) sources?

Absolutely. The unit is designed to accept both standard PoE (IEEE 802.3af) and PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) power levels, automatically negotiating the appropriate voltage and current to deliver the selected DC output.

What is the maximum power that can be drawn from the DC output?

The converter can supply up to 30 W total to the DC side, which is sufficient for most IP cameras, access readers, and small IoT devices. For higher‑power applications, multiple converters can be cascaded or a dedicated power source should be used.

How does the device handle network redundancy?

While the POE‑SP1224F itself does not provide redundancy, it can be integrated into a larger network design that includes redundant PoE switches or fiber paths, ensuring continuous operation even if one link fails.
