Fiber media converters are simple networking devices that make it possible to connect two dissimilar media types such as twisted pair with fiber optic cabling. They were introduced to the industry nearly two decades ago, and are important in interconnecting fiber optic cabling-based systems with existing copper-based, structured cabling systems. They are also used in MAN access and data transport services to enterprise customers. The 10/100/100M Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter series is designed to meet the massive needs for network deployment and able to extend a copper based Fast network via fiber cable to a maximum distance up to 100KM. Our 10/100/100M Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter is fully compliant with IEEE802.3, Ieee802.3U, 10/100/1000Base-TX, 1000Base-FX, standards. Check out our wide selection of Fiber Media Converters here. Features:

An optical attenuator is a device used to reduce the level of an optical signal, either in free space or in an optical fiber. They are commonly used in fiber optic communications. Optical attenuators used in fiber optic communications systems may use a variety of principles for their functioning. Those using the gap loss principle are sensitive to the modal distribution ahead of the attenuator, and should be used at or near the transmitting end, or they may introduce less loss than intended. Optical attenuators using absorptive or reflective techniques avoid this problem. Because an air gap is subject to variations from contamination etc, attenuators without air gaps (based on doping etc) are more stable over time. The basic types of optical attenuators are fixed, step-wise

Fiber Attenuators allow you to reduce the optical signal strength so the data can be heard on the far side (receiving side)

What is 10G Optical Fiber? The 10 gigabit Ethernet (10GE or 10GbE or 10 GigE) standard was first published in 2002 as IEEE Std 802.3ae-2002. It defines a version of Ethernet with a nominal data rate of 10 Gbit/s, ten times as fast as gigabit Ethernet. 10 gigabit Ethernet defines only full duplex links which can be connected by switches. Half duplex operation and CSMA/CD (carrier sense multiple access with collision detection) do not exist in 10GbE. The 10 gigabit Ethernet standard encompasses a number of different physical layer (PHY) standards. It remains to be seen which of these PHYs will gain widespread commercial acceptance. However a networking device may support different PHY types by means of pluggable PHY modules and SFP+ is a popular module interface. At the time that the 10 gigabit Ethernet standard was developed, there was much interest in 10GbE as a WAN transport and this led to the introduction of the concept of the WAN PHY for 10GbE. This operates at a slightly

Multimode & Singlemode fiber are the five types of fiber in common use. Both fibers are 125 microns in outside diameter - a micron is one one-millionth of a meter & 125 microns is 0.005 inches- a bit larger than the typical human hair. Multimode fiber has light travelling in the core in lots of rays, called modes. It's a bigger core (always 62.5 microns, but sometimes 50 microns) & is used with LED sources at wavelengths of 850 & 1300 nm for slower local area networks (LANs) & lasers at 850 & 1310 nm for networks jogging at gigabits per second or more. singlemode has a much smaller core, only about 9 microns, so that the light travels in one ray. It is used for telephony & CATV with laser sources at 1300 & 1550 nm. Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) is large core (about 1mm)

What is a Fiber-optic attenuator

  In-line fiber optic attenuators commonly are available from 1 dB to 25 dB allowing you to reduce the signal strength of your optical signal so it isn't overpowered at the receiving end of the optical link. Light travels over a small glass strand which is measured in nanometer (nm) wavelengths the strength of the wavelengths signal is measured in decibels (nm).t the sign A fiber-optic data connection has a light wave traveling over it which are transmitted over the optical=glass-medium  & “read” at the receiving end; if the signal is too strong at the receiving end then the receiver can’t

Multi-mode fiber has higher "light-gathering" capacity than single-mode optical fiber. In practical terms, the larger core size simplifies connections and also allows the use of lower-cost electronics such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) which operate at the 850 nm and 1300 nm wavelength (single-mode fibers used in telecommunications operate at 1310 or 1550 nm and need more costly laser sources. Single mode fibers exist for very all visible wavelengths of light). However, compared to single-mode fibers, the multi-mode
