What is a fiber optic converter or media converter?
Media converter or optical fiber converter is one of the most widely used hardware in the network field, which is widely used in wireless networks for data transmission or Internet access services.

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. 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-8PGE-2DF
This model of PBN media converter is a semi-industrial POE media converter. Before reviewing the BMC-8PGE-2DF PBN media converter, we will give a brief explanation of POE.

POE stands for Power Over Ethernet and follows both IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at standards. This technology is responsible for the transmission of electricity from the network cable. In other words, this technology transmits both data and electricity without any interference.

PBN media converter model BMC-8PGE-2DF is a semi-industrial POE media converter that has 8 network ports with a speed of 1000 and two SC DX ports. In this PBN media converter, each network port has a power consumption of 15.4W.

It also has a wavelength of 1310 nm with a data transmission distance of 20 kilometers and works with a power of 120 W.
