Gigabit Media Converter with Fiber
A Gigabit media converter is a device which integrates two or more dissimilar networks through signal conversion. The differences in two or more networks may be due to different cable types, model of operation, speed, signaling pattern, and so on. Using this Gigabit media converter with fiber helps extend the geographical transmission distance of a network by many kilometers. This is most commonly seen in blended networks where fiber optics is implemented for seamless connectivity, enhanced speed and transmission rates. VERSITRON’s 10/100/1000 Gigabit media converter enables a user to convert 10Base, 100Base, or Gigabit Ethernet speeds to 1000Base Fiber Optic. This fiber to Gigabit converter is compatible with 17 different
SFP modules for fiber connectivity. These 10/100/1000 media converters by VERSITRON are applicable for single mode as well as multimode networks. This Ethernet-to-fiber converter supports a distance of up to 100 km.
