MEDIA CONVERTERS
Media Converters are used to convert Ethernet or other communication protocols from one cable type to another. Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) media converters provide reliable and cost-effective fibre distance extension to PoE-powered devices.
AMP Procurement have partnered with Leader Systems Australia to become their official UK distribution partner. Leader are a leading trade only IT distributor and manufacturer operating in Australia. Alloy Computer Products were purchased by Leader Systems Australia, providing top of the range media converters, used by the defence industry.
Product Range
10/100/1000Base-T PoE+ RJ-45 to 1000Base-SX Converters
Alloy’s POE3000 Series PoE+ media converters are standalone media converters used to power PD devices. The media converters give the ability to add POE devices to your network at remote locations where distance limitations do not allow direct copper connections.
The POE3000 Series media converters support two types of media 10/100/1000Base-TX and 1000Base-SX/LX or a SFP module slot.
