The process of interlinking households, institutions or enterprises, steadily gets interrupted by the problem of connecting various kinds of devices with different ports and transmission media, which have to be integrated into a common network infrastructure. To guarantee a trouble-free cooperation of the devices in the network, media converters go into action. Hence, the transmission over various media is possible and the whole network infrastructure profits. The data input comes over one medium, for example via fiber optics. The media converter eventually alters the transmission medium, so that the data now can be out-put over e.g. the copper cable.

ADVANTAGES OF MEDIA CONVERTERS

The conversion of the medium isn't just beneficial due to the interaction between different devices. The change of the transmission cable enables also the expansion of reach and speed of the data transfer. This goes hand in hand with the saving of costs, since the fiber cables bypass large distances easily. So, no further devices needs to be integrated into your network.
