Although the application environment of media converter may vary, the cabling method is rather identical in essence. The following part illustrates two frequently-used cases of how to connect media converter. As it is more of a commonplace to deploy a pair of fiber media converters in a network, a single media converter is sometimes needed to link copper cabling to a fiber device.
The steps of connecting fiber optic cable and copper cable to media converter are as follows:. A pair of fiber media converters are often applied to link together two copper cabling systems for extending transmission distance. It is also the most common scenario using media converter in a network. The following steps show how to use a pair of media converters with network switches, transceivers, fiber and copper cables.
Use a fiber patch cable to connect the fiber media converter 1 and fiber media converter 2. Note : Optical transceivers are basically hot-pluggable devices, so there is no need to power off the media converter when inserting transceivers into the corresponding ports. Always remember to remove the fiber patch cable before removing the transceiver, and install the transceiver on the media converter before inserting the cable into the transceiver endface.
Media converters are simply plug and play devices, yet you still have to consider some factors when connecting them to the network. It is better to choose a flat, secure place to install the media converter. Leave ample space around the converter for ventilation. The wavelengths of the transceivers on both media converters should be consistent.
If PING is successful, it proves that the optical path is connected normally. It can be judged that the fault is on the switch. If there is no end failure, it can be judged as the failure of the other switch. Shenzhen Sopto Technology Co. Download Preview.

Contact Us FAQ. Judgment methods for common faults of fiber media converter There are many types of fiber media converter, but the fault judgment method is basically the same. Regarding the difference between single-mode SM and multi-mode MM fiber optic modules, the main are fiber type,wavelength,light source,application,etc.
Learning Center Next Types and characteristics of fiber optical patch cord Fiber optical patch cord usually refers to the optical fiber with connection ports at both ends, which is mainly used between equipment and equipment to play the role of line connection. This application shows how to use fiber media converters to provide seamless integration of different Ethernet cabling media.
A pair of copper-to-fiber media converters is used to connect two copper switches via fiber. In this application example, Ethernet copper to fiber media converters are installed in a redundant power chassis for high-density fiber distribution from the network core A.
Fiber links can be extended up to km using single-mode fiber. They can automatically detect the signal baud rate of the connected Full-Duplex serial device, and support point-to-point and multi-point configurations. Enterprise networks often require conversion from multimode fiber to single mode fiber in these cases:. A fiber-to-fiber media converter can extend a multimode fiber network across single mode fiber up to km. In some networks we need to convert between duplex fiber and single-fiber, depending on the type of equipment and the fiber installed in the facility.
Single-fiber is single-mode and operates with bi-directional wavelengths, often referred to as BIDI. Typically BIDI single-fiber uses nm and nm wavelengths over the same fiber strand in opposite directions.

This Article Applies to:. Application Scenario With our TP-Link fiber products, we have the following three kinds of application scenarios generally: 1. If we can see the red laser from the Tx port of the SFP module, but there is no red laser from the end of the fiber that connected to the Tx port, it may be the fault of the fiber, we can try another fiber.
For more information about LFP, please refer to Q5. We should use Cat5 or above cable and length should be not longer than m. It is advised to change a cable or a port to have a test. Q4: how do I choose the mode of the Force or Auto? Q5: what is the LFP? Note : For Media Converter, we should power on it after the connection is set up.
