Media converters are network devices that convert signals between different types of transmission media. They are most commonly used to convert electrical signals transmitted over copper cables (e.g., twisted pair) to optical signals transmitted over fiber optics.

Applications of media converters:

  • Network extension: Media converters allow data to be transmitted over longer distances than is possible with copper cables. This is because fiber optics are less susceptible to electromagnetic interference and signal attenuation.
  • Connecting different types of networks: Media converters can be used to connect networks based on different types of media, such as Ethernet networks to FDDI or SONET networks.
  • Increased security: Data transmission over fiber optics is more secure than transmission over copper cables because optical signals are more difficult to intercept and tap.

When choosing a media converter, consider the following factors:

  • Type of transmission medium: Determine the types of transmission media between which conversion is to take place (e.g., copper-fiber optic, twisted pair-coaxial cable).
  • Data transmission rate: Choose a converter that supports the required data transmission rate.
  • Range: Choose a converter with the appropriate range if the network is to be extended over long distances.
  • Additional features: Some converters offer additional features, such as PoE (Power over Ethernet) or network management.
