Applications of fiber optic converters

Fiber optic transceiver is a kind of media conversion unit which swap the Ethernet transmission of short distance twisted pair electrical signals and optical signals over long distances, also called Fiber media converters in many places. The general application can not be covered in the Ethernet cable, so you must use optical fiber to extend the transmission distance of the actual network environment. And it is usually located in the broadband metropolitan area network access layer application; the same time it has also played a huge role on helping last mile fiber line connected to the city area network and the outer layer of the network.

With the rapid development of information construction and the growing demand for data, voice, image and multimedia communications, Ethernet broadband access come to be referred to the increasingly important position. But traditional Category 5 cable can only Ethernet electrical signal transmission 100 meters transmission distance and its coverage has been unable to meet the needs of the actual network environment. At the same time, the fiber optic communication has a wide range of applications with its information capacity, security and good size, light weight, small size, relay, long distance transmission, etc. Fiber optic transceivers use this high-speed fiber-optic transmission medium making a good solution to the problem of Ethernet in transmission.

Optical fiber is directly used as the transmission medium in a number of large-scale enterprises on network construction to establish the backbone network. But the internal LAN transmission medium is generally copper wire, so how to connect it with the fiber-optic backbone LAN? It needs to convert between the different ports, different line, different fiber and to ensure that the link quality. The emergence of fiber optic transceivers, twisted-pair electrical signals and optical signals are converted to ensure that the data packets in the smooth transfer between the two networks, at the same time it will be the network transmission distance limit of 100 meters from the copper wire extended to 100 km (single The multimode fiber). Enterprises in information infrastructure, it is usually more concerned about routers, switches, and even network cards and other network devices for the node data exchange media conversion equipment such non-essential to the core of the network, but often overlooked. Especially in some of the requirements for the degree of information directly on the larger flow of data government agencies and enterprises, network construction connected to a fiber optic backbone network transmission medium, the internal LAN transmission medium is usually copper, to ensure that packet media conversion equipment in the smooth transfer between different networks became a necessity.

Fiber optic converters are generally used in the actual network environment which Ethernet cable can not be covered and must use optical fiber to extend the transmission distance, and play a huge role in helping the last mile fiber line connect to the network of metro and outer. Fiber optic transceivers also provide an inexpensive program for users who need to upgrade from copper to fiber, but lack of funds, manpower or time. In addition, they shall comply with FCC Part15 EMC anti-electromagnetic radiation. Nowadays because of the major domestic carriers are vigorously building community networks, campus networks and enterprise networks, the amount of fiber-optic transceiver products is also rising to meet the needs of the construction of the access network better. The role of the fiber optic transceiver is converting electrical signals which we want to send into optical signals and sent out, and the same time, the received optical signal can be converted into an electric signal, putting into the receiving end.

Fiber media converters can be used anywhere in the network to integrate newer technology with existing equipment to support new applications, technologies and future growth. Fiber Converters are key components of Optical Networking because its long distance operation, high bandwidth capacity and reliablity make fiber optics the most desired channel for data communications. Instead of costly, across-the-board upgrades, media converters can extend the productive life of the existing cabling as well as the active equipment. FiberStore provides a large selection of professional fiber optic media converters such as Optic Video Multiplexer.
