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.
