The simplest converter in the Snap Data range. 1 plastic optical fiber port and 1 Ethernet port: just what you need to bring your connection from the router to another point in your home, or to complete the other end of the installation with a single device.

Real 1 Gbps with no loss Source or destination Plug & play
Real 1 Gbps, with no loss
1 RJ45 + 1 POF
Up to 50 m with no loss
Integrated ABR technology

What is it used for?

The ACT1001 is the most basic converter in the range: one POF port and one Ethernet port. It is always used in pairs or combined with other models, in two typical positions within an installation:

Main use

As the source, next to the router

It connects to the router via Ethernet and converts the signal to plastic optical fiber to send it to another area of the home.

Alternative use

As the destination, with a single device

At the other end of the fiber, it converts the signal back to Ethernet to connect a single device: TV, console, PC…

Point-to-point installation layout with Snap Data ACT1001 converters: router connected to the first ACT1001, plastic optical fiber to the second ACT1001, which provides an Ethernet port at the destination

Installation layout: point to point, 1 input and 1 output

Is it for you?

Yes, if...

  • You need to bring internet to another room without losing speed
  • You're only going to connect 1 device at the destination point
  • You already have a Snap Data network and need a replacement or expansion unit
  • You're looking for the most affordable entry point into plastic optical fiber

Another model may be better if...

  • You need to connect several devices at the same point → ACT1003 (3 Ethernet)
  • You're going to extend the fiber run from this point → ACT-2003 (2 POF)
  • It's your first installation and you need all the equipment → Kit Single 1 Gbps

What's included

  • 1 Snap Data POF converter ACT1001 (1 RJ45 port + 1 POF port)
  • Power supply and power cable

The plastic optical fiber cable is not included. If you are setting up a new run, add the POF cable in the length you need from the accessories section.

ABR technology: stability even under less-than-ideal conditions

The ABR (Automatic Bit Rate) system automatically adjusts the speed to keep the connection active even when the maximum bandwidth cannot be reached:

  • Up to 50 meters → full speed (1 Gbps)
  • Greater distance or damaged cable → reduces speed but maintains the connection

This function is only activated when the device at the other end is also compatible (ACT1001, ACT4001, or ACT1002 flush-mounted).

Differences compared with other Snap Data converters

Model POF ports Ethernet outputs Typical use
ACT1001 1 1 Simple source or destination
ACT1003 1 3 Destination with several devices
ACT-2003 2 3 Intermediate point or branching
ACT4001 4 (output, switch type) 0 direct Distribute to several points at once

Frequently asked questions

Does it lose speed compared with the router?
No, it maintains 100% of the speed up to 50 meters. If your fiber connection is 600 Mbps, you receive a real 600 Mbps at the destination.
Is it difficult to install?
No. The system is plug & play and is designed for both inexperienced users and installers. You only need to connect the router to an ACT1001, run the fiber, and connect the second ACT1001 at the destination.
Do I need 2 units for it to work?
Yes, for a complete point-to-point installation, you need an ACT1001 at the source and another compatible converter at the destination (this can be another ACT1001 or a model with more ports, such as the ACT1003 or ACT-2003). This product page is for a standalone unit.
Does it include the plastic optical fiber cable?
No. The ACT1001 is sold as a standalone component and includes only the converter and its power supply. The POF cable is purchased separately, cut to the length you need. If you are looking for a complete pack with everything you need, see the kits section.
Is it better than WiFi?
Yes, it offers greater stability, without the interference or dropouts typical of wireless or PLC solutions, while maintaining a constant speed throughout the installation.
Can I use it in any home?
Yes. The POF cable is 2.2 mm in diameter, can be cut to size, and requires no complex tools or construction work. It complies with ICT2 regulations and adapts to existing domestic or professional installations.
What if I need to connect more than one device?
The ACT1001 only has 1 Ethernet port. If you need to connect several devices at the same point, the ACT1003 offers 3 Ethernet outputs while retaining the same POF input port.
