Fiber optic cabling overcomes the distance and bandwidth limitations of UTP, but fiber does not carry electric DC current. Omnitron PoE Fiber Switches and PoE Media Converters extend network distances via fiber to remote cameras AND provide Power over Ethernet.
Can you run fiber and power in same conduit?
Yes you can. Fiber cable has nothing to do with electrical cable. Fiber cannnot transmit electricity. Non-conducting fiber cables (based on glass fibers or plastic fibers) can be installed where high electric voltages exists.
How much power can fiber optic cable run?
And the answer is: yes. Recent research at the University of Electro-Communications in Japan conducted by a team led by Motoharu Matsuura demonstrated that an optical fiber cable system is capable of sending up to 60 watts over a 300 meter distance.Jun 1, 2016
