Media converters are devices that enable connection and conversion of signals between copper and fiber optic cables. These devices convert light signals to electronic signals or vice versa. VERSITRON provides a wide range of media converters for all applications. Our selection features a wide range of PoE and industrial media converters. If you are looking for a line of fiber optic media converters that you can absolutely count on, you have come to the right place.
Our products can be found all over the world in critical military and sensitive commercial applications. What do you need?
Do you wish to install media converters in humid, cold, ambient, vibration prone, or electrically noisy environments? If yes, perhaps you may need any of these ruggedized industrial media converters.
If you have applications requiring products with power over ethernet (PoE) capability, you may be interested in our new:
All products listed above are available in both standalone and rackmount versions, and carry a lifetime warranty.
Established in 1958, VERSITRON remains committed to providing exceptional quality and top notch service.
With the 10/100 "Double-Duty", you can now "select" from one of the following 3 settings for your standalone or rackmountable products and customize your network with only one product at the flick of a switch.
The M27xSA "Double-Duty" also comes with 2 new features:
These converters are standalone devices, but they can also be installed in 14-slot rackmount chassis. In addition, the M727XSA boasts options of long-haul optics with distance capability up to 90km.
Furthermore, you can count on the "Double Duty" to provide the following:
In addition, the M272xSA 10/100 TX-100FX supports a wide range of fiber options. These include:
If you need a media converter that can do 1000Base-T fiber speed for short and long distances (1000Base-SX, 1000Base-LX) in addition to 10/100 speeds, the "Triple-Duty" M7260A is the one you are looking for. This product makes use of GBIC module technology and allows you even more flexibility.
Some of its features include:
As with the "Double-Duty", these converters are also available as standalone units or may be rackmounted.
Another addition to VERSITRON'S product line is the M7275S-xSFxA 10/100TX-100FX single fiber media converter. Able to transmit and receive over one fiber, this product can cut your cable bill in half. Like the "Double-Duty", it has 3 setting options, 10/100 autosensing, 10base fixed, 100base fixed.
For harsh environment applications or for applications that must perform in EMI/RFI prone manufacturing facilities, we are pleased to offer our new industrial products for our 10/100Base (MF727xS). These industrial offerings support:
VERSITRON has a line of managed fiber optic switches to fill your fiber connection needs.
Media converters work as transceivers, where they convert the electrical signals from copper unshielded twisted pair (UTP) network cabling into light signals in fiber optic cables. The fiber optic cables are used in applications where the network length needs extension beyond the transmission distance of copper cables. Copper to fiber converters enable long distance connection between two network devices with copper ports using fiber optic cables. Media converters are widely deployed in data centers, government, enterprise, and telecom applications.

*Industrial Rated
All VERSITRON’s media converters – be it copper to fiber converters or fiber to fiber converters, work as Layer 2 switching devices or physical layer switching devices. These devices receive signals from twisted pair copper cables and convert them to light pulses. However, they remain invisible while doing so. The media converters do not interfere with the working of upper-level devices and they support a wide range of data rates and network types. The media converters are also used in Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) applications, where they also convert different wavelengths.
At VERSITRON, we provide different types of industrial and commercial media converters. They can be easily differentiated into the following types based on their design, construction, and utility.
Our gigabit Ethernet to Fiber model M7260A is one of our most popular types of unmanaged media converters available. This converter possesses the following features among others:
These media converters can be installed either in Standalone or rack-mount chassis format.
The following features of VERSITRON’s copper to fiber converters have made them popular among our clients.
