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 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 30 Watts
output, both Mode A or Mode B are supported. 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
