The ANPA AP-3114AB combines a 4-port Fast Ethernet switch with a built-in fiber media converter in one compact unit. It provides four 10/100Mbps RJ45 ports for local copper devices and one SC single-mode single-fiber (WDM) uplink, so up to four cameras, access points or workstations can share a single fiber backbone back to the control room — no separate switch and converter required. Deployed as a matched A/B pair with up to 3km reach, the AP-3114AB simplifies edge cabinets, reduces wiring points and cuts equipment cost. Request a quote for pair pricing and OEM/ODM terms.

Product Overview
Traditional fiber links need two boxes at each end: a media converter plus an Ethernet switch. The AP-3114AB merges them. Its integrated 4-port switch fabric aggregates local traffic from four RJ45 devices and forwards it over the single SC fiber port, giving installers a one-device edge node that is faster to mount, easier to power and simpler to troubleshoot.
The fiber side uses single-fiber WDM (BiDi) optics over single-mode fiber: matched A and B units communicate on two wavelengths across one strand, with standard reach up to 3 kilometers. All four copper ports support auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX, and QoS-aware forwarding helps prioritize latency-sensitive camera and voice traffic. Status LEDs for each port plus the fiber link make field diagnostics immediate.
Because the fiber carries light rather than electricity, the AP-3114AB is immune to electromagnetic interference and provides electrical isolation between buildings — eliminating ground loops and lightning-induced damage on copper. The rugged metal chassis suits desktop, wall or cabinet mounting in equipment rooms and remote IDF closets. As with every ANPA product, it is CE, FCC and RoHS certified and passes the same 9-step, 100%-inspection QC program, including optical power and link-stability testing, before it leaves the Chaozhou factory.
Application Scenarios
Edge Cabinet Aggregation
In floor wiring closets or remote cabinets, connect up to four local cameras or data devices to the RJ45 ports and uplink the whole group over one fiber strand — replacing a separate switch-plus-converter combination with a single unit.
Multi-Camera Fiber Drops
Mount one AP-3114AB near a cluster of four IP cameras in a parking structure, loading bay or corridor; all four streams share the fiber back to the NVR with no signal degradation from EMI or distance.
Building-to-Building Branch Links
Link an annex or workshop to the main building over a single fiber pair. The four local ports serve the building’s devices while the fiber uplink provides complete electrical isolation between structures.
Industrial & Utility Networks
Deploy on factory floors and utility sites where motors and power cabling generate interference. Fiber immunity keeps data and camera links stable while the integrated switch reduces hardware count in harsh environments.
Why Choose ANPA
ANPA has manufactured PoE and fiber networking equipment since 2006 — 20 years of production experience.

Compatible & Related Products
Need more copper ports? Choose the 8-port AP-3118AB; need longer reach? The 20km single-fiber AP-3101AB or gigabit 4-port AP-3204AB-100M / AP-3204AB scale the same topology. For a simple 1-port link use the AP-3102AB, and for interchangeable optics the AP-SFP-MC100.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How many devices can connect to the AP-3114AB?
It has four 10/100Mbps RJ45 copper ports for local devices (cameras, APs, PCs) plus one SC fiber uplink port. Up to four copper devices can communicate locally and across the fiber backbone; additional devices are added by cascading another switch or using the 8-port AP-3118AB.
2. Do the four copper ports connect over fiber?
No. The four RJ45 ports are standard copper Ethernet for devices within 100 meters. The fiber port is the uplink that carries their aggregated traffic over long distance — so local devices stay on copper, and only the backbone runs on fiber.
3. Single-fiber or dual-fiber?
Single-fiber (WDM/BiDi): the AP-3114AB transmits and receives on two wavelengths over one strand, shipped as a matched A/B pair. This halves fiber usage versus dual-fiber converters and simplifies cabling.
4. What is the maximum transmission distance?
Standard single-mode optics support up to 3 kilometers. For longer campus or inter-site links, ANPA’s 20km single-fiber converters (AP-3101AB / AP-3201AB) are available — specify your required distance when requesting a quote.
5. Can it work as a standalone 4-port switch without fiber?
Yes — the four RJ45 ports function as a normal unmanaged switch even if the fiber port is unused, though its purpose is to serve as a fiber-connected edge node. It auto-negotiates speeds with no configuration required.
6. Is the AP-3114AB suitable for industrial environments?
Yes. Fiber is immune to the electromagnetic interference common around heavy machinery and power lines, and the metal housing is built for cabinet or wall mounting. For fully exposed outdoor locations, install the unit in a weatherproof enclosure.
7. What are the MOQ and OEM options?
MOQ is 2 sets, and ANPA provides full OEM/ODM services — custom logo, pair packaging, firmware and documentation branding — from our own factory. Contact us for a quotation based on your order volume.
