Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does bidirectional fiber technology benefit network infrastructure?
A: Bidirectional (BiDi) technology uses different wavelengths (1310nm/1550nm) on a single fiber strand, effectively doubling fiber capacity while reducing infrastructure costs. This power over ethernet adapter enables long-distance connections using half the fiber resources of traditional solutions.
Q: What devices can be powered through the integrated POE functionality?
A: The integrated power over ethernet adapter supports 802.3af/at standards, powering IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and other network devices up to 20km away. This eliminates the need for separate power infrastructure at remote locations.
Q: How does the 20km transmission distance compare to copper alternatives?
A: While copper-based gigabit ethernet is limited to 100 meters, this single mode fiber converter extends reach to 20 kilometers without signal degradation. This makes it ideal for campus backbones, building-to-building connections, and WAN applications.
Q: What makes ST connectors suitable for enterprise fiber networks?
A: ST connectors provide secure, twist-lock connections that resist accidental disconnection in high-vibration environments. This fiber ethernet switches compatible converter ensures reliable connections in data centers, industrial facilities, and mission-critical network applications.
