Applications
An Ethernet to Fiber Media Converter can also be used where there is high level of electromagnetic interference or EMI which is a common phenomenon found in industrial plants. This interference can cause corruption of data over copper-based ethernet links. Data transmitted over fiber optic cable however is completely immune to this type of noise. An Ethernet to Fiber Optic Converter therefore enables you to inter-connect your copper-ethernet devices over fiber ensuring optimal data transmission across the plant floor.

General Architecture of a Protocol Converter
The general architecture of a protocol converter includes an internal master protocol communicating to the external slave devices and the data collected is used to update the internal database of the converter. When the external master requests for data, the internal slave collects data from the database and send it to the external master. There will be different schemes for handling the spontaneous reporting of events and commands. There can be different physical medium for communication on protocol-X & Y, which include RS232, RS485, Ethernet, etc.
Architecture of Protocol Converter
The end result of a protocol converter is to allow the protocol of one machine interact with the protocol of another, increasing the amount of machines the network can use. While the penalties normally are slight, conversion from one protocol to another may slow the connection speed, especially if the converted protocol innately has a lower data rate. Most converters have a database with several protocols, and this database is used to convert the initial protocol to another format.
