Optical networks play key role in smart grid systems

Making fiber work with the smart grid
Fiber to Ethernet converters are critical to getting the most out of the smart grid. Most local smart grid systems need to be built on Ethernet for a variety of reasons, so making fiber work depends on media converters that enable Ethernet interoperability.

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.
