INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
CNFE2MCPOE
10/100 MBPS 2 PORT MEDIA CONVERTER
WITH POWER OVER ETHERNET
The ComNet™ CNFE2MCPOE Ethernet 2 port media converter is designed
to transmit and receive 10/100 Mbps data over optical fiber through user
selectable SFP modules. These models require the ordering of sold-separately
interchangeable SFP modules for fiber type, distance and connectors.
The CNFE2MCPOE transmits and receives a single channel of Ethernet
data. It also supports IEEE 802.3at as Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) with
up to 25 Watts output, both in Mode A or Mode B. The electrical interface
will Auto-Negotiate to a 10 Mbps, or 100 Mbps Ethernet rate without any
adjustments. The optical interface operates at a 100 Mbps Ethernet rate. It is
environmentally hardened to operate in extreme conditions.
LED indicators are provided for confirming equipment operating status. See
Figure 3 on Page 3 for LED indicator descriptions.
See Figures 1 – 5 for complete installation details.
The CNFE2MCPOE operates as a standalone module. See Page 4 for mounting
instructions.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
This unit is supplied as a Standalone module. Units should be installed
in dry locations protected from extremes of temperature and humidity.
WARNING: Unit is to be used with a Listed Class 2 or LPS power supply rated
12V @ 3A or 24V @ 1.5A.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS:
A) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may
be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to
installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such
that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is
not compromised.
