Distinguishing features:

The optical media converter ULTIMODE POF-105SFP changes the signal from a glass fiber network (usually FTTH system) to the POF optical network (100 Mb/s). The media converter is equipped with SFP is fully compatible with IEEE 802.3u 100Base-FX standard. The installation and operation is very simple (Plug and Play). The LEDs located on the device indicate the current operating status.

ULTIMODE POF-105SFP media converter equipped with SFP slot allows for cooperation with multimode or single-mode optical fibers, depending on the module installed. All optical transmission parameters depend on the SFP module. ULTIMODE POF-105SFP can cooperate with SFP modules compliant with 100Base-FX standard:

The media converter uses OptoLock connector that allows for easy installation of plastic optical fibers without special tools. The procedure is safe due to operating parameters and the fact that the light (650 nm) is visible to the human eye. The maximum transmission distance is 100 m.

The decisive advantage of POF cables is their small size. The external diameter of one fiber is only 2.2 mm, which makes it easy to hide it behind skirting boards and pull through conduits. Plastic optical fibers can be installed by anyone - the installation is simpler and quicker than in the case of coaxial or twisted pair cables. All optical fibers are immune to electromagnetic interference and pulses.

ULTIMODE POF-105SFP optical media converter is an ideal device for connecting FTTH (Fiber To The Home) network with FTTD (Fiber To The Desk) network, providing optimum solution for home/SOHO networking.

Simple and quick installation

POF cables, similarly to all optical fibers, are completely immune to electromagnetic interference and pulses, crosstalk etc. Looking the other way, they do not generate any interference. The electromagnetic neutrality allows for running the POF cables in common conduits, together with electric or telecommunications cabling.

As isolators, optical fibers do not carry any power or lightning surges, in opposite to the copper wiring. So, there is no need for any additional protection against lightning surges. It is especially important in the case of outdoor installations (overhead links between buildings, to IP intercoms etc).

The decisive advantage of POF cables is their small size. The external diameter of one fiber is only 2.2 mm, which makes it easy to hide it behind skirting boards and pull through conduits. The core of the fiber is made of PMMA ("acrylic glass"), which provides high strength, resistance to UV and visible light transparency. The cable jacket is made of PE (polyethylene), which is suitable for outdoor applications.

The speed and ease of installation is provided by OptoLock connectors. The user should only cut the POF cable(s) to length as needed (with a dedicated POF cutter), and simply insert the fibers to the ports. It eliminates the need to pay for specialized services, which is necessary in the case of optical glass fibers.
