Features and Superiority of fiber media converter


The fiber media converter typically have the following basic characteristics:
1. Ultra-low latency data transfer.
2. The network protocol is completely transparent.
3. Using a dedicated ASIC chip data wire-speed forwarding. Programmable ASIC will focus on the multiple functions onto one chip, with the advantages of simple design, high reliability, less power consumption to make equipment for higher performance and lower cost.
4. Rack-mounted equipment can provide hot-swappable, easy to maintain and without interruption to upgrade.
5 Can network management equipment to provide network diagnostics, upgrades, status reports, exception reports and control functions, can provide a complete operating log and alarm log.
6. Equipment, the use of 1 +1 power supply design, and support for ultra-wide supply voltage, power protection and automatic switching.
7. Support for extra-wide operating temperature range.
8. Support a full range of distances (0 to 120 km)
Superiority
Currently referred to the media converters, people often can not help but compare the fiber media converter with switches with optical ports.
The advantages of fiber media converter compare to optical port switch.
First, fiber media converter and ordinary switches on price far cheaper than the optical port switch, in particular, some light-port switch in the optical transceiver is inserted loss of one or several electrical interface, which allows operators to a large extent reduce the upfront investment.
Secondly, the light switch module mostly there is no uniform standard, the optical module damage will need to be replaced from the original commercial, the same module, so a great deal of trouble to the maintenance of late. On the interconnection between devices from different manufacturers of fiber media converter is no problem, once the damage can also use other vendors’ products to replace, maintenance is very easy.
Also, fiber media converter transmission distance is more complete than optical port switch products. Of course, the optical port switch has an advantage in many ways, such as unified management, unified power supply was no longer discussed.
