Fiber optic media converter is an industrial popular device that introduced two decades ago. It is used to convert Ethernet network connection of twisted pair, coax to the multi-mode or single-mode fiber optic connection. The working principle of a fiber media converter is like: It converts the multiple forms of signals typical types such as twisted pair to the fiber optic signals. This process is very important in interconnecting the existing copper-based or structured cabling systems with fiber optic cabling. Fiber optic media converters are now widely used in LAN, MAN access and more outer networks.

Come to basically, why we need the fiber media converter to be involved in the signal transmission of the Ethernet networks? The main reason is, the Ethernet signals is primary transmitted by UTP cables, but UTP cables have some shortcomings, its transmission distance is 100 meters only, which can not meet for the requirement in many actual network nowadays, on the contrary, fiber cables are able to transmit signal for a very long distance. Besides, the fiber optic signals are not easy to be interrupted which are more secured and light that in coax, twisted pair. So we need the fiber media converter or Ethernet media converter to convert the short-distance twisted pair signals to long-distance fiber optical signals and connect the copper based networks with the fiber optic networks.

The Fiber Ethernet media converters must support a variety of communication protocols such as Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet as well as multiple cabling types such as twisted pair, multi-mode and single-mode fiber optics. Ingellen provide a wide selection of Fiber Media Converters range from small standalone devices and media converter card to high port-density media converter chassis systems that offer many advanced features for network management.

For example, Fast Media Converter can connect legacy 10/100BASE-T network segments to more recent 100BASE-TX or 100BASE-FX Fast Ethernet infrastructure and support 10/100Base-T and 100Base-FX ,100BASE-TX applications.

Media Converter Card is designed to be used with the Media Converter Chassis and Management Module to extended copper to fiber, multimode to multimode and multimode to single mode fiber. These robust and feature rich products are designed to be used in high-density applications where a large number of Fiber Converters require centralized configuration and monitoring.

Gigabit Media Converter is a 1000M converter that used in Gigabit Ethernet as copper to fiber conversion equipment. It is used in high-speed high stability 1000Base Ethernet which support 1000BASE -T to 1000BASE-FX/TX fiber connections.

Media converter chassis is mainly used to manage the various media converters, we have 14 slot optic media converter chassis and 16 slot optic media converter chassis. Both of them have single power supply & dual power supply. 14 slot type media converter chassis could use stand alone type converter to plug into it, 16 slot media converter chassis use is slot type converter to plug into it. Different types of module type media converter developed by our company can be inserted into this rack and all converters used with chassis are hot pluggable.

SFP Media Converter pluggable fiber optics port allows for flexible network configurations using SFP transceivers supplied by Ingellen, Cisco or other manufacturers of MSA compliant SFPs. We have extensive range of SFP Media Converters including 10/100M and 10/100/1000M types, which could extend the Ethernet distance from 100meters to 100km or more.

There are many other fiber media converters supplied at Ingellen.com. More fiber optic media converters include Multi UTP Converter, 10G Media Converter, SM to MM Media Converter, etc. As one of the main supplier of fiber optic access and media conversion solutions for Enterprice, Government and Service Providers' LANs, First-Mile FTTx networks and Metropolitan Area Networks, Ingellen has delivered more than 10yeares of excellence in product quality, customers satisfaction and great values.
