Fiber Media Converter Network Diagram

Most network diagrams tend to show entire devices instead of individual interfaces and leave layer 1 connections as a simple line.

Fiber media converter network diagram. The standard media converter does not require a web interface and essentially convert signals from ethernet to fiber. In this application two gigabit ethernet switches equipped with mm fiber ports are connected utilizing a pair of gigabit fiber to fiber converters which convert the mm fiber to sm and enable the long distance connection between the switches. The media converter can then extend your network up to 20 km 12 4mi using single mode lc fiber optic cable. The rj45 port of each media converter is connected to 10 100base tx hub and computer server separately.

Packaging contents 1x gigabit ethernet fiber media converter. If needed the included sfp module lc fiber connector can be removed from the media converter and be replaced with a transceiver module with different specifications. There is no true standard symbol shape for a media converter since that is generally viewed as an interface level item. A fiber to fiber media converter can extend a mm network across sm fiber with distances up to 160km.

These are some of the simplest models and are perfect for companies with junior it staff and simple retrofits as their networks develop. The connection between the two media converters is a little bit different from the others. As it is more of a commonplace to deploy a pair of fiber media converters in a network a single media converter is sometimes needed to link copper cabling to a fiber device.
