Fiber media converter is a cost-effective solution to overcome the bandwidth and distance
limitations of traditional network cable. It dramatically increases the bandwidth and transmission
distance of the local area network (LAN) by allowing the use of fiber and integrating new equipment
into existing cabling infrastructure. To better understand it, this article will give an overview of fiber
media converter.
Managed VS Unmanaged
The managed fiber media converter has the functions of networking monitoring, fault detection and
remote management. It helps the network administrator to easily monitor and management the
network. An unmanaged fiber media converter, however, allows for simple communication with
other devices and does not have the monitoring and management functions that managed fiber
media converter has.

The SC to RJ45 media converter comes with RJ45 and SC ports, which is designed to be used
with fiber cable preterminated with the SC-type connector.
The SFP to RJ45 media converter comes with RJ45 and pluggable fiber optics ports, which
allows for flexible network configurations using SFP transceivers.
PoE media converters can transparently connect copper to fiber while providing
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) to standards-based PoE compliant devices such as IP cameras, VoIP
phones and wireless access points.
Mini media converter is a miniature-sized copper-to-fiber converter. It is ideal for bringing fiber
to the desktop and for mobile applications where light weight, compact size and low power are
required.
Industrial media converters are compact and robust devices designed to convert Gigabit
Ethernet or Fast Ethernet networks into Gigabit or Ethernet fiber optic networks.
WHITE PAPER
In accordance with different applications, there are three commonly used video copper-to-fiber
media converters: plesiochronous digital hierarchy (PDH) multiplexers, synchronous digital hierarchy
(SDH) multiplexers and synchronous plesiochronous sigital hierarchy (SPDH) multiplexers. Using the
PDH fiber transmission technologies, PDH multiplexers are E1 point-to-point optical transport
equipment. And the general transmission capacity of this kind of multiplexer is 4E18E1 and 16E1.
SDH multiplexers, having a large transmission capacity, are designed to support end-to-end
provisioning and management of services across all segments of the optical network. SPDH
multiplexers adopt both PDH and SDH technologies. It is a PDH transmission system that based on
the PDH code speed adjustment principle at the same time, use as far as possible parts of the SDH
network technology.

Mode Converter
A mode converter can be used to allow for an adiabatic transition between two optical modes.
Other than cross-connecting different fiber types, mode converters can also re-generate optical
signals, extending transmission distance and double fiber cable usage. It is usually applied in
multi-mode to single-mode fiber conversion.

equipment and the fiber installed in the facility. The following figures shows the role of WDM
transponder played in the fiber optic network.
WDM OEO transponders are capable of wavelength conversion by using small form-factor pluggable
(SFP) transceivers that transmit different wavelengths, provide a cost-effective solution to convert
from standard optical wavelengths (850nm, 1310nm and 1550nm) of legacy equipment to optical
wavelengths specified for WDM networks.
The chip of the fiber media converter shall work in both full-duplex and half-duplex systems.
The reason is that some N-Way Switches and HUBs may use half-duplex mode operations, and
serious collision and data loss may be caused if the fiber media converter only supports
full-duplex operation.
Connection test should be done between the fiber media converter and different optical fiber
splices. Otherwise, data loss and unstable transmission may happen on account of
