Converter Knowledge

Take a look at our top ten of things to determine before purchasing a fiber media converter.

Ethernet Media Converter is a device to convert and transmit Ethernet networks into Ethernet fiber optic networks. It can convert digital electric Ethernet signals to optical signals.

POE (Power over Ethernet) fiber media converter products include the 10/100M PoE media converters, 10/100/1000M Gigabit PoE media converters, POE Switches.

The copper UTP cabling is converted to fiber with a standard media converter. The fiber is run a long distance to the PoE media converter located near a convenient AC or DC power source, where it converts the fiber back to copper UTP.

Don’t get us wrong, unmanaged switches aren’t the pits or anything but you may be using one unwisely in your application. Managed switches are a bit “smarter” and can offer you a lot more flexibility and features you may not even know you need.

A converter, also called a transceiver, is a device comprises both a transmitter and a receiver, which is combined and share common circuitry or a single housing.

Fiber optic media converter also known as fiber transceiver or Ethernet media converter, is simple networking devices that make it possible to connect two dissimilar media types such as twisted pair.

Fiber to Ethernet Media Converter models that are best suited for enterprise and Service Provider applications, offer an on-board processor to continuously monitor that both fiber connections are up.

A fiber optic media converter is a simple networking device, the fiber to Ethernet media converter can converts one network media type (defined by the cable, connector, and bandwidth) into another.

To provide an easy use yet powerful solution for FTTX applications, SOPTO has released a new 10/100/1000Base-T to 1000Base-SX/LX Smart Media Converter, featuring plug & play and smart media conversion functions.

Fiber optic modem provides electrical to optical conversion of electronic communication and data signals for transmission using tactical fiber optic cable assemblies.

SOPTO 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX Web Smart Media Converter supports conversion between 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX network. There are SC/SFP/WDM connectors and single-mode/multi-mode media for your needs.

The Gigabit Fiber Media Converter device provides conversion from a copper (1000Base-T) interface to single-mode (1000Base-LX) or a multi-mode (1000Base-SX) link allowing its extension up to 80km.

The 10/100/1000Base-T to Dual 1000Base-X SFP Media Converter is equipped with one 10/100/1000Base-T port and dual Gigabit SFP slots to support conversion between 10/100/1000Base-T and 1000Base-X network.

In telecommunications, RS-232 is the traditional name for a series of standards for serial binary single-ended data and control signals connecting between a DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) and a DCE (Data Circuit-terminating Equipment).

SOPTO Ethernet-over-VDSL2 media converter is high performance. It is designed based on two core networking technology, Ethernet and VDSL2 (Very-high-data-rate Digital Subscriber Line 2).

The 10/100/1000Base Fiber Media Converter with RJ-45 interface adopts CAT5 twisted-pair with typical length of 100 meters. It features the function of automatically identifying the through line and cross wire.

Fiber media converters are used in networking more and more nowadays. Not the same as ordinary media converters, Fiber Media Converter is definitely an optical converter designed for the fiber optic area.
