If you're looking to connect devices that use different types of media or extend the range of your network, a media converter is the solution you need. In this video, we'll explain what a media converter is and why it's useful for networking.
A media converter is a network device that can convert signals between different media types, such as copper to fiber optic cable or multimode to single-mode fiber. It's commonly used in telecommunications and networking environments to connect devices using different media types from the output port.
Fiber optic connectivity is necessary when the distance between two network devices exceeds the transmission distance of copper cabling. Copper-to-fiber conversion using media converters enables two network devices with copper ports to be connected over extended distances via fiber optic cabling.
Media converters are available as Physical Layer or Layer 2 switching devices, and can provide rate-switching and other advanced switching features like VLAN tagging. Media converters are typically protocol specific and are available to support a wide variety of network types and data rates.
Media converters provide seamless integration of copper and fiber, and different fiber types in Enterprise and Telecom LAN and WAN networks. They support a wide variety of protocols, data rates and media types to create a more reliable and cost-effective network.
Media converters can be very useful for extending the range of your network, connecting devices that use different media types, and transmitting signals over long distances. Check out our expert guide to learn more about media converters and how to use them in your network.
