Fiber Optic Cable Media Converter

The copper transceiver used in an ethernet fiber converter transforms the signal from a utp rj45 ethernet link to one that can be used by a fiber optic transceiver.

The rj45 port of each media converter is connected to 10 100base tx hub and computer server separately. A fiber media converter is a simple networking device that makes it possible to connect two dissimilar media types such as twisted pair with fiber optic cabling they were introduced to the industry in the 1990s and are important in interconnecting fiber optic cabling based systems with existing copper based structured cabling systems. Copper to fiber media converters the most common type of media converter is a device that functions as a transceiver which is used to convert the electrical signal used in copper utp network cabling into light waves used in fiber optic cabling. They are also used in metropolitan area network man.

The two fiber. Media converters can connect to various optical fiber cable such as multimode single mode or single strand fiber cable. Fiber to ethernet converters use a copper transceiver to transform the signal from a utp rj45 ethernet link to one that can be used by a fiber optic transceiver. The 10m and 100m copper cables have a range length limitation of 110 meters.

Fiber optic media converters integrate the fiber optic technology that supports a much larger cable than that of the custom twisted pair copper cables. For fiber media converters with fiber optic interface of lc st sc mt rj the interfaces on the two media converters can be connected directly by a length of fiber optic patch cable that has the corresponding connector type. A fiber media converter is a simple networking device that connects and translates signals between fiber optic cabling and another type of cabling media such as utp unshielded twisted pair copper ethernet cables as shown below. These media converters are used to enable connections of utp copper based ethernet equipment to various optical fiber cable such as multimode single mode or single strand fiber.
