Green cabling efforts enhanced with proper media converters

Technology infrastructure
The key to embracing green initiatives and making sustainability a sustainable effort itself is having the right technology in place that streamlines these efforts. High-quality fiber to Ethernet converters and related tools that help optimize networks and eliminate latency will be essential for success.

Fiber optics in particular is a popular solution for green infrastructure because it helps lower costs through reduced energy consumption and providing support for future changes as well.

"The high bandwidth and long link lengths supported by fiber networks enable LAN architectures that minimize the use of electronics - saving energy, reducing the materials needed, and creating a network with the bandwidth to support future applications," the TIA Fiber Optic Technology Consortium noted, according to the source.

Ultimately, green efforts should start including fiber optic converters and cabling to ensure sustainability and help further efforts so that they are compliant with not only current standards, but future ones as well.

Perle has an extensive range of Managed and Unmanaged Fiber Media Converters to extended copper-based Ethernet equipment over a fiber optic link, multimode to multimode and multimode to single mode fiber up to 160km.
