Fiber Media Converters

Connect Dissimilar Cable Types

Media Converters are used to easily connect two different types of devices or networks together. While linking copper and fiber networks together is the common application, Fiber Media Converters also enable users to join together two multimode networks or link multimode to single mode for longer data transmission distances.

Perle offers over 1000 different Fiber Media Converters to transmit and convert all Ethernet data speeds (10/100/1000/2500/10G) and connect all copper and fiber cable types.

The quality of Media Converter that you choose will affect the uptime of your fiber to Ethernet network.

Choose a Fiber to Ethernet Media Converter that is made with robust and reliable components.

If you choose a low-end Media Converter, the end to end connection on your network will always appear as if it is up and running, even though the fiber connection may be broken or disconnected. All Perle Media Converters have an on-board microcontroller which deals with error detection and recovery by continuously monitoring the status of the links connected to its transceiver ports. If there is a break or failure in the link, both end devices become aware and react accordingly.

In addition, Perle Media Converters only use high-end components from leading chip manufacturers to ensure product reliability.

Choose a Fiber Optic Media Converter that works with Cisco.

Perle Media Converters are compatible with Cisco switches and routers. As key components in the reliability and stability of your network, you need dependable Media Converters from a source you can trust.

Choose a Fiber Optic Media Converter with high MTBF rates.
