A fiber media converter is a simple but
effective device that converts fiber optic and other types of media. Fiber
media converters are most commonly used to transmit data between fiber and
copper in order to extend a network or add fiber optic cabling into a copper based
network. Because these devices can be deployed practically anywhere in the
network and are inexpensive, they are also being used for a variety of
additional purposes. More about fiber media converter, please check here.

What is PoE Media Converter?
PoE media converters combine data and power on a
single cable, allowing for copper to fiber connectivity while enabling Power
over Ethernet to PoE certified devices including wireless access points, IP
cameras, and VoIP phones. The converter interfaces between the fiber
infrastructure and copper ports on VoIP phones and also provides power to the
IP phone. The PoE media converter excels in industrial and high-density
applications because to its perfect compliance with Fast Ethernet standards.
PoE fiber converters can be used to bridge the gap between different types of business
networks and even expand network connections beyond normal cabling.
How does PoE Media Converter work?
The data transmission between a fiber switch and
a remote or wireless access point is supported by a typical 10/100/1000M PoE
media converter. This media converter also provides power to the access point.
A fiber optic cable connects the fiber switch to the PoE media converter. The
fiber is run a far way to the PoE media converter, which converts the fiber
back to copper UTP and is positioned near a DC or AC power source. PoE (DC
power) is injected via the UTP cable by the PoE media converter, which also
serves as a micro switch for power supply. The IP camera is positioned at the
opposite end of the UTP cable, up to a hundred meters distant from the PoE
media converter.
How to select a PoE Media Converter?
To select the right PoE media converters for
your project, many elements should be considered. You should firstly consider
where you want to use the media converters and how to use them. Then, you
should know the functions and characters. Below are some important factors to
consider when choosing PoE media converter.
Data Rate: the data rate of the PoE media
converter should be firstly considered. The most commonly used are 10/100mbps,
10/100/1000mbps, and 1000mbps.
Mode Type: the mode type of the PoE media
converter can be split to single mode and multimode. When connected to a switch
or hub that supports half duplex, packet loss may occur since some PoE media
converters can only be used in full duplex mode. As a result, check to see if
the PoE media converter supports half duplex, full duplex, or both half duplex
and full duplex.
Port Type and Port Number: PoE media converter
also has various port types. The most commonly used types for fiber optic on
the fiber media converters are ST, SC and SFP. The number of the power should
depend on the applications.
Power Requirement: the most commonly used are AC
power supply, DC power supply, internal power supply, and external power
supply.
