![]() 2 Link Fault Pass-through in operationįar End Fault (FEF 802.3u) – function serves to notify on a breakdown of one of the optic fiber cable cores (!). For that reason, there appeared such functions as “Link Fault Pass-through” and “Far End Fault”.įig. That may sound rather simple, however, when used together, such “cable” actually comprises two copper cables and two fiber optic cables (see Fig. ![]() Basically, a media converter must “simulate” a cable. The converter must remain invisible to network devices. Needless to say, that the basic role of a media converter lies in data transfer between two devices that can’t be connected to each other directly. This is true, however, modern media converters also support the functions that, if applied correctly, can enhance network reliability. One might think, that the sole purpose of a media converter is to convert a signal from one transfer medium (copper wire) to the other (optical fiber). This article includes recommendations on application and choosing media converters, operation principles of “Link Fault Pass-through” and “Far End Fault” functions, as well as converters behaviour in redundant networks. Meanwhile, they have their own application specifics that must be considered when building a network. Transponders are protocol and rate-transparent fiber media converters that support SFP, SFP+ and XFP transceivers with data rates up to 11.32 Gbps.Ethernet -over-Copper to Fiber converters (media converters) are rather simple devices with no complex additional settings. ![]() Transponders are fiber-to-fiber media converters that convert wavelengths for Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) applications. Fiber-to-Fiber media converters extend network distance by converting wavelengths (1310 to 1550), amplifying optical power, and can support the “Three Rs” to Retime, Regenerate and Reshape the optical signal. How to use Ethernet Fiber to Fiber Media Convertersįiber-to-fiber media converters are compact devices that provide seamless integration of different fiber types by converting multimode fiber to single-mode fiber, and dual fiber to single-fiber. ![]() > Data Center Copper to Fiber Connectivity > Demarcation Extension and Riser Management > Point to Point Fiber for Ethernet Networks Follow the links below for detailed application diagrams.
