Abstract
Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) devices and conventional Ethernet devices configured for 2-pairs or 4-pairs of wires are not compatible with each other. A media converter is provided to interface between SPE devices and conventional Ethernet devices. The media converter is configured to also interface between a SPE device that transmits power over the SPE cable, also called Power over Data Lines (PoDL), and an Ethernet endpoint device that receives power over a Power over Ethernet (POE) cable. The media converter includes a SPE connector, a first transformer, a first PHY device, a second PHY device, a second transformer, a multi-pair Ethernet connector (e.g., RJ45 connector), a clock, and a power supply.
