Lantronix N-GXE-POE-xx-01 Series PCIe Gigabit Fiber NICs with PoE+
The N-GXE-POE-xx-01 Series is a PCIe Gigabit network card with one fiber port and one switched copper port that supplies IEEE 802.3at PoE+, so a desktop PC on fiber can also connect and power a VoIP phone.

Overview
About the Lantronix N-GXE-POE-xx-01 Series
In fiber-to-the-desk networks, a workstation reaches the network over fiber but the IP phone beside it still expects a powered copper port. This NIC (N-GXE-POE-LC-01 or N-GXE-POE-SFP-01, often searched as N-GXE-POE) solves both in one card: a 1000Base-X fiber port links the PC to the secure fiber network, and a switched 10/100/1000Base-T port passes traffic to the phone while powering it with PoE+. That removes a second device from the desk, and the card keeps switching traffic between ports even when the PC sleeps.
The card uses a PCIe x1 slot, compliant with PCIe Rev 2.1, and supports full-duplex operation up to 2000 Mbps aggregate, 802.3x flow control, 10K jumbo frames, an 8K MAC table, VLAN filtering, IPv6, checksum offload, Wake-on-LAN and PXE 2.1 boot. PoE uses Mode A power under 802.3af and 802.3at. The PCIe bus supplies 3.3 V for the NIC, while PoE power comes from a 12 V peripheral connection inside the PC, with typical draw of 1.6 W without PoE and 43.6 W with it.
Tagged voice traffic passes through untouched for end-to-end QoS, and VLANs and priority can also be set on the NIC with Lantronix PoE NIC utility software. Jumpers enable legacy PoE and Energy Efficient Ethernet, and per-port LEDs show fiber link, PoE and copper status. Drivers cover Windows 7 through 10, Windows Server 2008 and 2012, Vista and Linux.
Key capabilities
- Powers a VoIP phone
- The RJ-45 port supplies IEEE 802.3at PoE+, so a desk phone or other PoE device runs from the PC instead of a separate injector or switch port.
- Switching during PC sleep
- The card keeps passing traffic between the copper and fiber ports while the PC is in sleep mode, so the phone stays online.
- Fixed LC or open SFP
- Choose 1000Base-SX multimode LC optics for up to 550 m, or an open 100/1000Base-X SFP slot for single-mode and other fiber types.
- QoS-friendly tagging
- 802.1Q and 802.1p tagged traffic passes through the NIC, preserving voice prioritization set by the switch and the phone.
- Boot and power management
- PXE 2.1 boot ROM, Wake-on-LAN and ACPI 2.0 support fit standard managed desktop imaging and power policies.
How to choose the right N-GXE-POE-xx-01 Series part number
Both cards have one switched 10/100/1000Base-T PoE+ port and include an optional low-profile bracket; they differ on the fiber side. N-GXE-POE-LC-01 has fixed 1000Base-SX 850 nm multimode optics with an LC connector, reaching 550 m on 50/125 µm and 220 m on 62.5/125 µm fiber with an 8.0 dB link budget. N-GXE-POE-SFP-01 has an open 100/1000Base-X SFP slot for the module of your choice. For PoE power, N-POE-CBLKIT bundles the 27246, 28582 and 28583 adapters to reach the PC's 12 V supply.

N-GXE-POE-xx-01 Series FAQ
How does the N-GXE-POE NIC get power for PoE+?
The PCIe bus provides 3.3 V for the card itself, while PoE power comes from a 12 V peripheral connection inside the PC. The N-POE-CBLKIT supplies Molex, SATA and ATX adapter cables for different power supply connectors.
Does the PoE NIC keep the phone working when the PC sleeps?
Yes. Lantronix states the NIC can switch traffic between the copper and fiber ports even when the PC is in sleep mode, so a connected VoIP phone keeps its network connection.
What is the difference between N-GXE-POE-LC-01 and N-GXE-POE-SFP-01?
N-GXE-POE-LC-01 has a fixed 1000Base-SX 850 nm multimode LC port for up to 550 m. N-GXE-POE-SFP-01 has an open 100/1000Base-X SFP slot, so fiber type and distance depend on the installed SFP.
Which operating systems support the N-GXE-POE-xx-01 NIC?
Lantronix lists drivers for Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10, Windows Server 2008 and 2012, Vista and Linux. The card needs a PCIe x1 slot and is compliant with PCIe Rev 2.1.
How much power does the PoE+ NIC draw?
Typical consumption is 1.6 W without PoE and 43.6 W with PoE in use. The PoE port follows IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at using Mode A power, and a jumper enables legacy PoE.
