The significance of the fiber media converter

Information construction by leaps and bounds, The growing demand for data, voice, image and multimedia communications, and Ethernet broadband access is mentioned more and more important position. Traditional Cat5 cable can only make Ethernet signal transmission 100 meters transmission distance and coverage can not meet the needs of the actual network environment. At the same time, the fiber-optic communications with its advantages of large capacity of information, confidentiality, light weight, small size, relay, long distance transmission has been widely used. Fiber media converter use of this high-speed fiber optic transmission media a good solution to the problem of Ethernet transmission. Direct use in some of the larger enterprises, network construction, fiber optic backbone network established for the transmission medium, the internal LAN transmission medium is generally copper wire, how to achieve local area network with fiber optic backbone connected.This requires a different port, different linear conversion between different fiber and to ensure that the link quality.

The emergence of Fiber media converter to make twisted pair electrical signals and optical signals conversion,ensure the smooth transmission of data packets between two networks, it network transmission distance limit extended to 100 km from the copper wire 100 meters (single multimode fiber). In information technology infrastructure of Fiber media converter, usually pay more attention to routers, switches, and even the network card for the node data exchange network equipment, but often overlooked media conversion such non-essential to the core of the network equipment. Especially when some of the information required in a high degree of government institutions and enterprises in the data traffic, network construction need to directly connect to the backbone network of fiber optic transmission medium, the internal LAN transmission medium typically copper wire, to ensure that packet media conversion equipment in the smooth transfer between different networks become a necessity.

Fiber media converter used in the Ethernet cable can not be overwritten, you must use the fiber to extend the transmission distance of the actual network environment, help fiber last-km line to connect to the metro and the outer layer of the network playa huge role. With Fiber media converters, also need to upgrade from copper to fiber optic, but lack of funds, manpower or time the user provides an inexpensive program. In order to ensure fully compatible with the NICs, repeaters, hubs and switches and other network equipment of other manufacturers, Fiber media converter products must strictly comply with 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, 100Base-FX, IEEE802.3 and IEEE802.3u Ethernet standard. In addition, EMC anti-electromagnetic radiation shall comply with FCC Part15. Nowadays, the major domestic carriers are great efforts to build the residential network, campus and enterprise networks, so the amount of Fiber media converter products are constantly improved to better meet the access network construction needs.
