Fiber Media Converter Network Diagram

A fiber to fiber media converter can extend a mm network across sm fiber with distances up to 160km.

Fiber media converter network diagram.

In this application two gigabit ethernet switches equipped with mm fiber ports are connected utilizing a pair of gigabit fiber to fiber converters which convert the mm fiber to sm and enable the long distance connection between the switches. As it is more of a commonplace to deploy a pair of fiber media converters in a network a single media converter is sometimes needed to link copper cabling to a fiber device. The rj45 port of each media converter is connected to 10 100base tx hub and computer server separately. Most network diagrams tend to show entire devices instead of individual interfaces and leave layer 1 connections as a simple line.

If needed the included sfp module lc fiber connector can be removed from the media converter and be replaced with a transceiver module with different specifications. There is no true standard symbol shape for a media converter since that is generally viewed as an interface level item. The standard media converter does not require a web interface and essentially convert signals from ethernet to fiber. Packaging contents 1x gigabit ethernet fiber media converter.

These are some of the simplest models and are perfect for companies with junior it staff and simple retrofits as their networks develop. The media converter can then extend your network up to 20 km 12 4mi using single mode lc fiber optic cable. For fiber optic media converter that has a sfp sfp or xfp transceiver interface.
