Extended Product Information
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
