Powering your 4K Converter
This converter is equipped with a sophisticated system allowing power from various sources:
PoE+ (Power over Ethernet)
PoE+ is a convenient way to power this converter as it allows both data and power to be sent through the same standard Ethernet
cable. To take advantage of PoE+, the network switch that the converter is directly plugged into must support PoE+ (802.11at).
Different network switches are capable of providing differing amounts of total power to all connected devices. This Flex 4K
converter uses approximately 14 watts in PoE+ mode to operate on its own, and up to 30w when powering additional equipment.
DC IN
Located at the side of the Flex 4K converter is a DC In connection port. This power input socket is capable of accepting 12vDC
power. You should only power this device by the included AC adaptor.
Thermal management
This product has been engineered to be actively cooled. In order to achieve best thermal performance the fan assembly has been
carefully designed to provide optimum cooling while remaining extremely quiet. It is normal for warm air to pass through the vent
outlets. The main processor is capable of operating up to 100º C / 212º F.
