Product Information

Full details

The Digitus DN-82140 Gigabit PoE Media Converter is designed for network professionals and IT managers looking to extend network reach by converting copper Ethernet signals to fiber optic signals, enabling high-speed data transmission over long distances. Its key benefit is the integration of Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities, simplifying deployment by powering connected devices. A notable consideration is that it requires a separate SFP module, which is not included, to establish fiber optic connectivity.

FAQs

Does this media converter include an SFP module?

No, the Digitus DN-82140 requires a separate SFP module, which is not included with the converter. You need to purchase a compatible SFP module based on your fiber optic network requirements.

What is the maximum distance this converter can transmit data?

The converter itself supports data transmission up to 80,000 meters (80 km) over a compatible fiber optic connection, depending on the type of fiber optic cable and the SFP module used.

Can this converter power my PoE device?

Yes, this converter is a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) and supports PoE+. It can supply up to 30W of power to compliant devices connected to its RJ-45 port.

What types of copper Ethernet connections does it support?

It supports 10Base-T, 100Base-T, and 1000Base-T (Gigabit Ethernet) copper connections.

What are the operating temperature limits?

The converter can operate in a wide temperature range from -20°C to 65°C.

How do I reset the converter to factory settings?

There is no specific reset button or procedure documented for this model. For troubleshooting, try power cycling the device or consulting the full manual if available.

What is the MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) for this device?

The Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) is rated at 500,000 hours, indicating high reliability for long-term operation.

Troubleshooting

Converter not powering on

Ensure the 5V DC power adapter is securely connected to both the converter and a working power outlet. Check if the power LED indicator is lit.

No network connection on the copper side

Verify that the copper Ethernet cable is properly connected to both the converter and the network device. Ensure the cable is not damaged. Check link LEDs.

No network connection on the fiber side

Confirm that the SFP module is correctly installed and compatible. Check fiber optic cable connections at both ends and ensure they are clean and undamaged. Verify that the SFP module and fiber optic cable support the intended distance and speed.

PoE device not receiving power

Ensure the connected device is PoE-compliant (IEEE 802.3af/at). Verify that the total power consumption of connected devices does not exceed the converter's 30W PoE budget. Check the PoE LED status.

Slow data transfer speeds

Confirm that both the connected copper and fiber optic links are operating at Gigabit speeds. Check for potential bottlenecks in the network upstream or downstream. Ensure the SFP module supports the required data rate.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enables long-distance fiber optic data transmission.
  • Integrates Power over Ethernet (PoE+) capabilities, reducing cable clutter and installation costs.
  • Supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds for high-performance networking.
  • High maximum transfer distance of 80 km.
  • Durable design with a wide operating temperature range for various environments.

Cons

  • Requires a separate SFP module, which is not included.
  • Power budget of 30W may be insufficient for high-demand PoE devices.
  • Primarily designed for professional installations, may have a steeper learning curve for novice users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Install SFP Module: Insert a compatible SFP module (sold separately) into the SFP slot on the converter.
  2. Connect Copper Network: Connect your copper Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port.
  3. Connect Fiber Network: Connect your fiber optic cable to the appropriate port on the installed SFP module.
  4. Power Connection: Connect the 5V DC power adapter (included) to the DC-in jack on the converter.
  5. Connect to PoE Device (Optional): If powering a device, connect it to the RJ-45 port, ensuring it is PoE-compatible and within the 30W budget.

Compatibility:

  • Networking Standards: Complies with IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3af, IEEE 802.3at, IEEE 802.3u, and IEEE 802.3z.
  • Copper Interface: Supports 10Base-T, 100Base-T, and 1000Base-T Ethernet.
  • Fiber Interface: Requires a compatible SFP module for the desired fiber type and connector (e.g., LC, SC).
  • PoE Devices: Compatible with IEEE 802.3af/at compliant powered devices.

Care:

  • Environment: Operate within the specified temperature range (-20°C to 65°C) and avoid exposure to excessive moisture or dust.
  • Cleaning: Disconnect power before cleaning. Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe down the exterior. Avoid using liquid cleaners or solvents.
  • Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit to prevent overheating.
