Fiber Media Converter
Managed Media Converter and Unmanaged Media Converter Basics
As is known to all, fiber media converter is a simple networking device which can connect two dissimilar media types such as twisted pair cable with fiber optic cable. And it can support many different data communication protocols including Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, etc. According to the network to points, media converters can be […]
Applications of Ethernet to Fiber Media Converter
The copper-based Ethernet network has limited data transmission distance of 100 meters when using unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. Besides, this network link is very likely to be influenced by EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) which can cause the network corruption. So how to solve these two troubles? Now this tutorial will introduce Ethernet to fiber media […]
Media Converter Basics
While fiber optic technology has been developed and deployed in telecommunications for many years, network complexity still exists within the Local Area Network (LAN), accompanied by users’ increasing demands for higher network speeds and greater bandwidth. Media converters can just provide solutions for those problems by utilizing fiber when it is needed and integrating new […]
