LAN with Ethernet Media Converter
One of the common media converters is the fiber media converter. It is a basic
networking device, which allows for the connection of two media types, using a fiber
optic cabling. These media converters help to interlink the fiber systems that are
based on the optic cabling. The interconnection is carried out with the help of
structured cabling systems that are copper-cased. The fiber converters have the
ability of connecting various LAN media, speed settings and modifying duplex. They
are vital when you are enhancing the LAN reach to cover more locations. They help to
link various LANs, in order to come up with a single LAN, which will encompass a
wider area.
Ethernet Media Converter
The Ethernet media converter will support several data communication protocols,
including Gigabit Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Ethernet, among other cabling types. It will
also support different cabling types like twisted pair, coax, single-mode as well as the
multi-mode fiber optics.
There are some devices that will use the SNMP, Simple Network Management
Protocol. The SNMP will allow the practical supervision of the link status, sending of
traps to the network managers, as well as monitoring of the chassis environmental
stats.
The WDM, Wavelength Division Multiplexing technology that is the Local Area
Network is mostly vital in conditions that the fiber is in restricted supply, or if they are
expensive to generate. Other than the traditional dual strand fiber converter, single
strand fiber converters are also available. The single strand fiber converter will extend
the full-duplex data transmission to a maximum of 120 per optical fiber. The dual
strand converter will have different transmit and receive ports.
Benefits of the Ethernet Media Converters
There are a number of reasons why the media converters are used in many
organizations. Here are some of the benefits of using the Ethernet media converters;
• Offers a bigger migration path. The fiber converters help to offer a bigger path of
migration, which comes from the copper to the fiber, within the network.
• Limits electromagnetic interference. These media converters also help to limit the
electromagnetic interruption that is within the given network.
• Cheaper. The Ethernet media converters are also cheaper and they are the best
alternative over switches that would be used with the fiber. The Ethernet media
converters can be used along with standard switches on a fiber network, which saves
money.
Generally, an Ethernet media converter will help to boost the LAN coverage within a
particular area. It helps to limit the number of links that will be used to deliver the
specified signals to a particular network. With a stable media converter, an
organization will be sure of having uninterrupted signals. The cases of interrupted
signals will be limited and for that, the network will be better and more reliable. These
media converters will also help to save on money and resources, while still achieving
the expected target or objective in the organization. The fiber converters are able to
deliver top quality services and they can support more cabling types and fiber optics,
which promotes versatility of the network.
