In simpler words, a media converter is a converter that converts electrical signals to optical signals and vice versa. It is a kind of device that converts copper network and optical fiber into each other; It means that it receives the signals from the copper cables and converts them into optical signals and sends them through the connected cable, and at the destination, it converts the optical signals into electrical signals and returns to the copper cable. turn

If the distance between two devices is greater than the distance of copper cabling, it is necessary to have an optical fiber connection. Optical fiber media converter is used in metropolitan networks and transfers data to customers and centers.

These connections are copper wire to fiber or fiber to fiber. The use of these devices is a flexible and cost-effective solution to extend the transmission distance using the existing cabling infrastructure.

Also, the media converter enables fiber to fiber conversion from multimode fiber to single mode fiber.

Media converter provides seamless integration of fiber and copper and various forms of fiber in LANs.

Media converter PBN model BMC-4001-SC
PBN media converter BMC-4001-SC model has 4 LAN network ports with 1000 speed and one SC SX port. This PBN media converter sends and receives data over a single strand of SM fiber (simplex) instead of two fibers (duplex). This technology is also known as BiDi or two-way. A single-core media converter is usually for longer distances and uses single-mode optical fiber.

The difference between BMC-4001-SC model and other models is the number of network ports.
