Fiber Optic Cable Media Converter

The primary application of a fiber optic media converter is to extend the network farther.

Fiber optic cable media converter. Fiber to ethernet converters use a copper transceiver to transform the signal from a utp rj45 ethernet link to one that can be used by a fiber optic transceiver. Fiber media converters also known as fiber transceivers or ethernet media converters are simple networking devices that make it possible to connect two dissimilar media types such as twisted pair such as cat5 or cat6 cable with fiber optic cabling. The two fiber. The 10m and 100m copper cables have a range length limitation of 110 meters.

Fiber optic media converters integrate the fiber optic technology that supports a much larger cable than that of the custom twisted pair copper cables. The copper transceiver used in an ethernet fiber converter transforms the signal from a utp rj45 ethernet link to one that can be used by a fiber optic transceiver. The rj45 port of each media converter is connected to 10 100base tx hub and computer server separately. These media converters are used to enable connections of utp copper based ethernet equipment to various optical fiber cable such as multimode single mode or single strand fiber.

Media converters can connect to various optical fiber cable such as multimode single mode or single strand fiber cable. A fiber media converter is a simple networking device that makes it possible to connect two dissimilar media types such as twisted pair with fiber optic cabling they were introduced to the industry in the 1990s and are important in interconnecting fiber optic cabling based systems with existing copper based structured cabling systems. Two main kinds of media converters are copper to fiber media converter and fiber to fiber media converter. Copper to fiber media converters the most common type of media converter is a device that functions as a transceiver which is used to convert the electrical signal used in copper utp network cabling into light waves used in fiber optic cabling.

A fiber media converter is a simple networking device that connects and translates signals between fiber optic cabling and another type of cabling media such as utp unshielded twisted pair copper ethernet cables as shown below.
