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.

How to test media converters? 

SOPOT as one of the biggest manufacturer for fiber media converters, now, please follow the below steps to test our fiber optical media converters.

1. Preparation

1.1 Samples

Prepare two sets of media converter for testing.

Media converters: One set of 100M Base-FX SM Ethernet and 10/100Base-TX full duplex/ half duplex auto negotiation Ethernet ports, fiber wavelength is 1310nm or two sets of bi-direction media converters, the working wavelength is 1310nm/1550nm.

1.2 Testing equipment

One set of Smart bits 2000IP protocol analyzer, testing software is Smart Applications and Smart Window

One set of power meter; One pc fiber attenuator; two sets of fiber patch cords,100ohm unshielded twisted pair cable or 150Ohm shielded twist pair cable

2. Testing theory

YD/T 973-1998 SDH 155Mb/s and 622Mb/s fiber transceiver and fiber receiver technology

IETF RFC 2544 Benchmarking Methodology for Network Interconnect Devices IETF RFC 2889 Benchmarking Methodology for LAN Switching Devices

3. Testing items, requirements and measures

3.1 Physical performance

3.1.1 Interface

Requirements: 10Base-T, 100Base-TX/FX and 1000Base-SX/LX etc., 10Base-T, 100Base-TX can support auto negotiation ports. The interface mode is half duplex and full duplex

Testing measures: Connecting the relative interface, and then check the light of the interface and links status.

3.1.2 Front Panel indicator

Testing measures: Inspect and verify the working status of indicator by connecting the relative ports and transmitting data.

3.1.3 Output Power

Under normal working condition, the transmitting optical power ranges as below:

MM: 2Km, 850nm:-17~ -20dBm; MM: 5Km, 1310nm, -8~ -14dBm

SM: 25Km, 1310nm,-12~ -15dBm; SM: 50Km, 1310nm -8~ -12dBm; 80Km, 1550nm,-3~-5dBm

 

Sensitivity range as below:

MM: 2Km, 850nm, <-31dBm, MM: 5Km, 1310nm, <-31dBm; SM: 25Km, 1310nm, <-38dBm;

SM: 50Km, 1310nm, <-38dBm; SM: 80Km, 1550nm, <-38dBm

Fiber loss range as below:

MM: 2Km, 850nm, 3dBm/Km; MM: 5Km, 1310nm, 2dBm/Km; SM: 25Km, 1310nm, 0.4dBm/Km; SM: 50Km, 1310nm, 0.4dBm/Km; SM: 80Km, 1550nm, 0.25dBm/Km

Testing measure: Connecting the relative interface and transmitting data and testing the output power by using power meter.
