1 Product Description
1.1 General Description
The Flowire Converter enables Ethernet to run on the same two wires as power, providing simpler
cabling and opening up for longer cable hauls. The Flowire converter is also capable of powering the
Ethernet devices (Vingtor-Stentofon IP intercom stations) attached to it via spare pairs.

Figure 1 FCDC1 Flowire Converter
There are two models of the Flowire Converter:
Model Description
FCDC1 24-48 VDC Flowire Converter with power-forwarding (PoE, type
2). Forwards 48V from the power supply to the spare pairs of the
Ethernet port (not true PoE).
FCDC2 Non-PoE 24-48 VDC Flowire Converter for use with central equipment
rack and Ex devices. Does not forward 48V to the spare pairs of the
Ethernet port.
Figure 2 FCDC1 and FCDC2
LIt is recommended to use FCDC1 only when you need to power the connected device
via the spare pairs of the Ethernet port. In all other situations, use the FCDC2.

1.2 Areas of Application
The main areas of application for the Flowire Converter are:
● Retrotting older communication systems
● Providing Ethernet connectivity to remote locations in buildings
1.2.1 RetrottingOlderIntercom&TelephoneSystems
● Analog and digital intercom systems
● Analog and digital telephone systems
The above solutions typically use a conventional star-wired telecom infrastructure with 0.5 mm2 (20
AWG) single-pair twisted cables.
1.2.2 Remote IP Intercom Locations In New Buildings
In some new building projects, it is a challenge to provide Ethernet connectivity to remote locations
(beyond 100 meters from the main equipment room) for critical communication.
By implementing Flowire Converters, it is possible to upgrade these systems with IP products without
costly and time consuming re-cabling of CAT or ber cables.
