FAQ's on Media Converters
What is a Media Converter?
IT professionals are constantly urged to provide faster data transmission over longer distances. The media converter has a vital role in solving these network interconnection challenges. This article defines what a media converter is, what types are available, and how to use them.
What is a Fiber Media Converter?
A fiber media converter is a media converter where one of its two parts is fiber Ethernet, and the other is copper Ethernet.
What is a PoE Media Converter?
Power over Ethernet media converters offer power and data over a single cable AND a copper-to-fiber solution to PoE-compliant devices, such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points (WAPs).
Are Media Converters always used in Pairs?
No. Media converters are often connected directly to the network switch, in which case, only one media converter is needed. However, it is important to note that many media converters are designed to work in pairs. For example, Very High Bit Digital Subscriber Line (VDSL) media converters send Ethernet traffic over existing cables for extended distances. In this type of application, media converters are used on both sides of the link to provide full compatibility and optimal performance.
Are Media Converters suitable for Government use?
Yes—as long as they meet Trade Agreement Act (TAA) and National Defense Authority Act (NDAA) requirements. Feel free to browse all of our TAA Compliant devices here.
