Put simply, media converters transparently connect one type of media, or cabling to another-for example:cooper to fiber.

Media Converters allow the use of fiber where and when itis needed;effectively integrating new equipment into your existing cabling network. This gives the network administrator power to:

*Extend the lifespan of existing non-fiber based equipment

*Extend the distance of an existing network

*Extend the distance between two like device

*Integrate data and telecommunication networks over fiber
