Fiber to fiber media converter may be the

converter accustomed to conduct the transparent

conversion between your media of single mode

fiber and multimode fiber. Unlike the Fiber to Ethernet

Media Converter§, it is utilized in the applications

where media conversion is needed between multimode segments separated

by long distances. For example, it enables the extension of multimode to

single mode or multimode to multimode fiber connections to distances as

much as 160km.

You will find mainly three benefits using fiber to fiber converters.

First, they can convert Fast Ethernet or Gigabit multimode fiber to multimode

or single mode fiber.

Second, they can protect an investment in existing multimode fiber based

hardware.

Third, they can connect different fiber types, distances and wavelengths

across a variety of topologies and network architectures.

Generally, the multimode transmission supports 550m and 2km distances.

And also the single mode version has much longer transfer distances

including 20km, 40km, 60km, 80km, 100km and 120km.

The fiber to fiber media converters those suited for enterprise and Service

Provider applications best, can offer an on-board processor to continuously

monitor that both fiber connections are up. This functionality (generally

referred to as LPT, short for Link Pass-Through) monitors the state of the

hyperlink to the end devices and helps to ensure that each end-point knows if

the entire link is up or otherwise. Some media converter products don't have

this intelligence and simply nail in the link even though the fiber link peer is

down. Using the LPT, an element available in all of our fiber to fiber

converters, the network's SNMP management system can be alerted when a

fault occurs so that corrective action can happen.

The most typical type of fiber to fiber converter is definitely an unmanaged

standalone device with its own power adapter. Where large densities of media

converters are needed, chassis-based systems can also be found. These rack

mountable units can house as much as 19 managed or unmanaged media

converter modules providing redundant power for AC and 48v DC

environments.

FiberStore supplies an extensive selection of full-featured fiber to fiber

media converter solutions including Single Mode to Multimode Media Converters§,

multimode to single mode media converters, and multimode to multimode

media converters. Whether the Single Mode to Multimode Converter§ or the others,

all fulfill the conversion between single mode and multimode not only at

850nm/1310nm wavelength, but also at 850nm/1310nm/1550nm

wavelengths. These fiber to fiber media converters also support transmission

in single mode dual fiber, single mode single fiber, and multimode dual fiber.

Choose us for the right product to meet your multimode to single mode or

multimode to multimode extension requirement and you will obtain the best

custom service!
