All Ethernet Media Converters
Ethernet Media Converters for Various Applications
Ethernet Media converters are devices that are designed to convert Ethernet signals of varying networking speeds to fiber optic cables. VERSITRON manufactures a wide range of Ethernet media converters for different types of applications. Our devices provide a UTP connection on the copper side of the link that supports cat5, cat6 type of Ethernet cables. On the fiber side, the units have either a built-in ST, SC connector or support an SFP module with LC connectors.
VERSITRON’S Ethernet to Fiber Media Converters are widely deployed in data centers, government, enterprise, and telecom applications as well as mission critical military applications and environments. These products work as Layer 2 switching devices of physical layer switching devices. Our offerings include many Industrial rated and PoE options for powering your devices in remote locations where power sources are limited and environments may be harsh.
