Fiber optic media converters by protocol.
Fiber media converter diagram.
Serial media converters extend serial connections over fiber with rs 232 rs 422 485 and x 21.
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.
The fiber media converter has a standalone design or can be installed into the 20 slot 2u rackmount chassis etchs2u.
Ethernet media converters for 10mbps to 10gbps ethernet to fiber conversion with 10 100 and 10 100 1000 bridging.
They are also used in metropolitan area network man.
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.
Tdm media converters for demarcation extension of t1 and t3 circuits.
This reference design details a methodology to use the dp83849 evaluation board to implement a 10 100base tx to 10 100base fx media converter which enables copper based legacy equipment to be easily connected to a fiber network.
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.
