OmniConverter® 10T/APS Single Pair Ethernet
10BASE-T to 10BASE-T1L PSE Ethernet-APL Compliant Media Converters
The OmniConverter 10T/APS Single Pair Ethernet converters are 10BASE-T1L products that convert 10BASE-T Ethernet to 10BASE-T1L Ethernet. They are designed for digital instrumentation solutions used for industrial control processes. They utilize single-pair Ethernet cabling (SPE) to extend the Ethernet link distance up to 200 or 1000 meters depending on the model number.
The 10T/APS converters feature one 10BASE-T1L 3-pin terminal or IEC 63171-2 port and one 10BASE-T RJ-45 port supporting 10Mbps full-duplex data rates.
Omnitron 10T/APS converters are interoperable with Ethernet-APL Class A, C, 3 and 4 edge/field devices and act as a Power Source capable of delivering up to 56 watts, depending on the model number. The 10T/APS models 2022 and 2024 support 1.0V peak-to-peak signal amplitude voltage when connecting to Class A and C edge/field devices. Whereas the 2025 and 2027 models use Automatic Link negotiation to transmit 1.0V or 2.4V peak-to-peak signal amplitude voltage to the field /edge devices.
The following are the product configurations.
| Product Name | Base Model # | Port 1 | Port 2 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10T/APS | 2022 | 10BASE-T | T1L/PSE 0.5W | Class A (1.0V) |
| 10T/APS | 2024 | 10BASE-T | T1L/PSE 1.0W | Class C (1.0V) |
| 10T/APS | 2025 | 10BASE-T | T1L/PSE 36W | Class 3 (1.0V/2.4V) |
| 10T/APS | 2027 | 10BASE-T | T1L/PSE 56W | Class 4 (1.0V/2.4V) |
The 10T/APS converters are interoperable with Ethernet-APL Field Devices. The converters can connect to a spur or trunk segment.. A Spur segment has a maximum distance of 200 meters and data signal amplitude of 1.0 volt peak-to-peak. A Trunk segment has a maximum distance of 1000 meters and data signal amplitude of 2.4 volts peak-to-peak.
They are available as standalone units with integrated mounting brackets. They can be DIN-rail mounted using the optional DIN-rail mounting clip kit (8252-0). Models come with a 2-pin DC power terminal connector.

Industrial Process Automation
For applications where the industrial processing sensors exceed the copper Ethernet distance from the Environmental Control Room, an OmniConverter G/M Ethernet switch can be used to extend a fiber connection to within the copper distance of the sensors. The OmniConverter G/M extends a 10Mbps Ethernet copper connection to the 10T/APS, where the 10T/APS converters connect to the industrial processing sensors using SPE cabling. Three Ethernet APL Field Devices are connected up to 200 meters across a spur connection in a non-hazardous area. A fourth 10T/APS converter extends a trunk connection up to 1000 meters to an APL Field Switch in a hazardous area.
