Copper-to-Fiber Network Extension
Ethernet media converters provide a straightforward way to extend existing copper Ethernet networks over fiber optic cable.
A typical network connection can be configured as:
Copper Ethernet → VERSITRON Media Converter → Fiber Optic Cable → VERSITRON Media Converter → Copper Ethernet
This allows existing Ethernet equipment to communicate over fiber while taking advantage of fiber's longer transmission distances and immunity to EMI/RFI.
Standalone or Chassis-Based Installation
VERSITRON Ethernet media converters are available for standalone installation or, with compatible models, centralized installation in the MCC-14R 14-slot media converter chassis.
Standalone converters are ideal for individual network connections, while the chassis provides a higher-density solution for locations where multiple media converters are required.
