Ethernet-based, Standalone Media Converters
PSE-McBasic Series
Supporting the IEEE 802.3af PoE standard, the standalone PSE-McBasic
media converter offers unparalleled installation flexibility and cost-savings.

Connecting and powering small devices at the edge of a wired
network infrastructure becomes increasingly important to LANs
and MANs as they add WiFi access points, webcams, entry control
systems, etc. Sometimes, the most optimal location for one of these
devices is not only out of reach of the existing copper wiring, but
also too far from a power source. Deploying a media converter
supporting the Power Over Ethernet standard is the solution for
both extending an access point up to 100 km from the central office
equipment as well as powering the end-device.

Equipped with all the features that have made the McBasic series
one of IMC Networks’ most popular brands — copper-to-fiber
conversion, troubleshooting capability, a small, rugged design, and
an internal AC power supply — the 100 Mbps PSE-McBasic also
employs the IEEE 802.3af Power Over Ethernet (PoE) standard.

Power Over Ethernet Technology
Power Over Ethernet technology allows the PSE-McBasic to be the
Power Source Equipment (PSE) by distributing an electrical current
across existing copper data cabling. If the connected unit requires
power and is 802.3af compliant, the PSE-McBasic detects it and
supplies power. LEDs on the PSE-McBasic indicate the amount of
power being supplied to the “Powered Device” (PD) as well as if
the PSE-McBasic is over temperature or over current or has an open
circuit.

Application Example
Incorporating the PoE standard into the product
design allows network administrators to install
the PSE-McBasic up to 100 meters from an
access point while support of single-mode fiber
allows installation of the media converter up
to 80 km from a central office (CO) switch.
The best location for a WiFi access point, for
example, may be on a utility pole outside or
in the ceiling where there is no AC outlet. The
PSE-McBasic makes the connection between
the CO switch, via single or multi-mode fiber,
and a twisted pair access point while also
providing power to a WiFi device.

Using the PoE technology, the PSE-McBasic
becomes the Power Source Equipment for the
Powered Device. This gives installers greater
installation flexibility since the access device no
longer has to be in the immediate proximity of
a power source and/or UPS.
