Copper-to-Fiber Media Converters

Supporting the IEEE 802.3 standard, Ethernet copper-to-fiber media converters provide connectivity for Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet devices. Some converters support 10/100 or 10/100/1000 rate switching, enabling the integration of equipment of different data rates and interface types into one seamless network.

iConverter® Managed Copper-to-Fiber Media Converters

iConverter managed copper-to-fiber media converters provide seamless integration of copper and fiber optic cabling, and support a wide variety of network protocols, data rates and cabling media types. iConverter media converters can be used in managed or unmanaged networks. The iConverter media converters are part of a Multi-Service platform that includes transponders, CWDM multiplexers and Carrier Ethernet demarcation devices.

Omnitron iConverter media converters are backed with a lifetime warranty and free 24/7 technical support.

iConverter Copper to Fiber Media Converter Applications

Copper-to-fiber media converters can be deployed in a variety of networks and applications. In this application, media converters installed in a high-density chassis are used to distribute fiber from a centrally located copper switch to remote locations. At the end of the fiber runs, standalone media converters and compact chassis are used to convert the fiber back to copper for connectivity to switches and workstations.

Fiber-to-Fiber Media Converters

Fiber-to-fiber media converters provide connectivity between multimode and single-mode fiber, and between dual fiber and single-fiber. In addition, fiber-to-fiber media converters support conversion from one wavelength to another, including standard wavelengths (1310, 1550) and CWDM wavelengths. Fiber-to-fiber media converters are typically protocol independent and available for Ethernet, and TDM applications.

iConverter® Managed Fiber-to-Fiber Media Converters

iConverter managed fiber-to-fiber media converters provide multimode to single-mode conversion, dual fiber to single fiber conversion, and fiber distance extension. iConverter protocol-transparent transponders provide standard wavelength to WDM wavelength conversion. iConverter fiber-to-fiber converters can be used in managed or unmanaged networks.

iConverter Fiber to Fiber Media Converter Applications

Fiber-to-fiber media converters can be deployed to convert multimode fiber (typically deployed inside buildings) to single-mode to reach remote locations, as shown in the application below. Fiber-to-fiber media converters are also used to convert dual fiber to single-fiber, and as fiber repeaters to extend fiber network distances.
