Protecting data from hacking, noise and interference upgrade your network with additional bandwidth capacity
Provides you with the flexibility to add fiber on a port-by-port basis
Fast ethernet or gigabit ethernet to multi-mode or single mode
Ethernet to fiber and fiber back to ethernet links
Fiber to fiber links
About The Product
A copper transceiver employed in an ethernet-fiber converter facilitates the conversion of UTP/RJ45 ethernet signals into those compatible with fiber optic transceivers. Media converters are versatile in their ability to connect to a range of optical fiber cables, including multimode, single mode, and single strand fibers.
As a standalone device with its own power adapter, the ethernet-fiber converter is capable of transforming fixed speed fast ethernet rates by converting 10/100 UTP links to fiber connections.
Advantages
Copper-based ethernet connections using unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable have a limited data transmission distance of up to 100 meters. However, this range can be significantly extended by using an ethernet to fiber conversion solution, allowing for fiber optic cabling to transmit data over several kilometers.
The benefits of an ethernet to fiber converter are particularly evident in environments with high levels of electromagnetic interference, such as industrial settings, railway stations, power stations, and remote installations. Copper-based ethernet links are susceptible to temporary or permanent data corruption due to EMI interference. In contrast, fiber optic cables are impervious to these types of interferences, making them a reliable option for transmitting data.
Targeted Market Segments
Wind mills – linking various installations that are kilometers apart
Industrial automation – connecting machines/equipment in a heavy emi/noise/vibration/pollution/hazardous environment
Larger offices – connecting servers and client systems that are spread over a larger area where running UTP cables is not feasible/viable/unsafe
Secure data transmission is of prime concern – this product will offer some degree of protection in the Layer - 1 level
Mobile communication/telecommunication/network service providers
Traffic control
