What is a fiber optic media converter?

Fiber Optic Media Converters:

Introduced to the industry nearly two decades ago, media converters are simple networking devices that make it possible to connect two dissimilar media types such as twisted pair with fiber optic cabling.

Our converters support auto-negotiation in the TP port to detect speed and duplex mode automatically, ensuring optimal performance at all times. With conversion up to 2km in multimode and 60km in single mode, we have just the media converter you need.

CE certified and third party tested, our media converters are products you can rely on. Of course, our converters comply with FCC regulations.

 

Affordable Flexibility

In the current economy, organizations must leverage the continuing growth in data traffic with their the investment in the existing network infrastructure.

Instead of costly, across-the-board upgrades, media converters can extend the productive life of existing cabling as well as the active equipment. Media converters do this by being able to interconnect different devices supporting various media, whether it is twisted pair, single-mode, or multimode fiber.

Media converters can be used anywhere in the network to integrate newer technology with existing equipment to support new applications, technologies and future growth. Just as they can be used in many locations, media converters can also be easily relocated, further leveraging your original investment.
