Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the GE MC100FX-TX-PoE 10/100Mbps Ethernet
Twisted pair to 100Base-FX Fiber-optic PoE Bridge Converter. This converter
is used to convert one type media signal to other equivalent type. The two
type segments connect easily, efficiently and inexpensively. The converter
provides a Power over Ethernet power injector function, which is able to
drive one IEEE 802.3af compliant powered device.
About the Power over Ethernet Injector
The MC100FX-TX-PoE is an IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet Injector that
provides DC 48V over Ethernet cables (power supply not provided). The
MC100FX-TX-PoE IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet Injector inserts DC
Voltage into Cat.5 cable, allowing the cable between the Injector (MC100FX-
TX-PoE) and PoE PD (Powered Device) to transfer data and power
simultaneously. The maximum distance between the Injector (MC100FX-TX-
PoE) and PoE PD is 100 meters. When a MC100FX-TX-PoE is installed, it
combines the Ethernet digital data with power over the twisted pair cables
as an IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet Injector. The IEEE 802.3af Power over
Ethernet splitter can separate the digital data and the power into two
outputs.
NOTE: This product is intended to be supplied by a UL Listed Direct Plug-In
Power Unit marked "Class 2" or "LPS" and output rated 48 VDC.
