Industrial Media Converters
Link Copper and Fiber Networks in Industrial Environments
Industrial Media Converters are used to easily connect fiber cabling to different types of devices, cables or networks in locations that are exposed to harsh industrial operating conditions and high or low temperatures. While linking fiber and copper together is the most common application, Industrial Media Converters also enable users to link Single Mode to Multimode or extend the data transmission distance of a Multimode network. They are the perfect solution to convert and extend various types of data signals in industrial environments such as manufacturing, wastewater treatment, outdoor traffic control, security & surveillance, building, and factory automation.

Why Choose a Perle Industrial Media Converter?
Perle Knows Industrial
We have been designing industrial hardware for over 40 years. Perle Media Converters are designed to operate in hazardous industrial locations. With certifications including ATEX Class 1 Zone 2 and ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 Class 1 Division 2, you are ensured safe and reliable operation in locations where flammable gases, liquids or vapors are handled, processed or used. Additionally, Perle Industrial Converters meet IEC 61850-3 & IEEE 1613 electric power substation environmental standards.
Industrial Temperature-Grade
Many manufacturers claim -40°C to 75°C but use commercial parts that will fail in environments with extremely high or low temperatures. Integrated PCB circuits will overheat and under-rated connectors will not allow for proper contact between the device and cables. To prevent this, every component used in Perle Industrial Temperature Media Converters has been designed and tested to handle operating temperatures between -40°C and 75°C.
Reliable & Advanced
Perle only uses high-end components from leading chip manufacturers to ensure product reliability. This enables us to proudly publish the high MTBF rates on the Hardware Specs for each product. Additionally, Perle's advanced implementation of Link Pass-Through includes an onboard processor that continuously monitors the status of the links and sends a notification if the fiber connection is broken or disconnected.
Best-in-Class Warranty
To deliver worry free operation and eliminate the cost associated with out of warranty repairs, Perle offers a Best in Class Lifetime Warranty as a standard feature across all Industrial Media Converters.
Technical Support
We have sales and technical support staff around the globe to support you. If you need help choosing the best Media Converter for your application, we provide technical consultations by phone or email.
