Ubiquiti FiberPoE
Optical Data Transport for Outdoor POE Devices

Overview:

Overcome PoE limitations with the FiberPoE. The FiberPoE is a low-cost solution for outdoor deployments that require long-distance runs to reach the PoE device. Deployments with the FiberPoE also provide significant EMI and ESD protection over typical PoE installations.

Separate Data and Power Transport

PoE is ideal for indoor or short-run installations. However, for outdoor, long-distance installations, PoE becomes vulnerable to EMI and is limited to 100 meters with correlated power loss. With the FiberPoE, data and power are transported on separate cables to greatly improve data integrity and enable much longer cable runs.

The FiberPoE provides Gigabit bi-directional data transport between twisted-pair Ethernet cable and fiber optic cable, and injects DC power to the Ethernet cable for passive PoE. Use one FiberPoE device as an Fiber‑to‑Ethernet Converter, or a pair of FiberPoE devices to create a Fiber Bridge.

Fiber Optic Data Transport

Using fiber optic cable for data transport significantly reduces electrostatic discharge (ESD) failures and electromagnetic interference (EMI). Data integrity is also sustained in runs beyond 100 meters, the limit of Ethernet over twisted-pair cable. The FiberPoE supports a 1G SFP module and 24V or 50V power from a DC power cable or PoE cable.

Integrated Fiber Cable Strain Relief

An integrated strain relief system was thoughtfully designed to fit inside the FiberPoE cover for added protection and a cleaner installation.

Features:

Fiber-to-Ethernet Conversion

The FiberPoE provides fiber connectivity to any PoE device.

Designed for Outdoor Durability

The FiberPoE features an outdoor weatherproof form factor with integrated strain relief management.

Power Versatility

The FiberPoE allows separate power from standard Ethernet cables or standard terminal block / power cable support. There are three ways to configure the input and output power:

The FiberPoE provides passive PoE power to the PoE device. Options for providing power to the FiberPoE include:

• DC Power Connect a 24VDC or 50VDC power cable to the Terminal Block.
• PoE (Power Only) Connect an Ethernet cable with 24V or 50V (4-pair) PoE to the DC In RJ45 port.
• PoE (Power and Data) Connect an Ethernet cable with 24V or 50V (4-pair) PoE to the PoE RJ45 port.

Power Input Port	Input Power	Output Power
Terminal Block (DC Power)	2-wire DC, 24V	PoE port, 2-pair (4, 5+; 7, 8-), 24V

TOUGHCable Connectors

Specifically designed for use with Ubiquiti TOUGHCables and available in 100 pc. bags, TOUGHCable Connectors protect against ESD attacks and Ethernet hardware damage while allowing rapid field deployment without soldering.

ESD attacks are the leading cause for device failures. The diagram below illustrates the areas vulnerable to ESD attacks in a network.	By using a grounded Ubiquiti Power over Ethernet (PoE) Adapter along with Ubiquiti TOUGHCable and TOUGHCable Connectors, you can effectively protect against ESD attacks.
