- Extending links over greater distances using
fiber optic cable
- Protecting datafrom noise and interference
- Future proofing your network with additional
bandwidth capacity
Copper-based Ethernet connections are limited to a data transmission
distance of only 100 meters when using unshielded twisted pair ( UTP ) cable.
By using an ethernet to fiber conversion solution, fiber optic cabling can now
be used to extend this link over a greater distance.
An Ethernet to Fiber Media Converter can also be used where there
is high level of electromagnetic interference or EMI which is a common
phenomenon found in industrial plants. This interference can cause corruption
of data over copper-based ethernet links. Data transmitted over fiber optic
cable however is completely immune to this type of noise. An Ethernet to Fiber
Optic Converter therefore enables you to inter-connect your copper-ethernet
devices over fiber ensuring optimal data transmission across the plant floor.
By utilizing ethernet to fiber media converters, the benefits of
fiber optic cabling
can now be realized for copper–based ethernet infrastructures.
Benefits of
Ethernet to Fiber Optic Converters:
- Protects your investment in existing copper
ethernet-based hardware
- Provides you with the flexibility to add fiber on
a port-by-port basis
- Enjoy the benefits of fiber without have to make
wholesale changes
- Fast ethernet or Gigabit ethernet to multi-mode
or single mode
- Ethernet to fiber and fiber back to ethernet
links
- Create copper-fiber connections with fiber
switches
