Multimedia products members have become larger and larger. Take video player for example, the most advanced product sold in the market is a kind of multimedia player called mp5. it can play a variety of formats of videos. So it is popular on young people.

Before it comes up, you must convert the format which can not be played by your player when you want to see the film with a portable player. And you need install a media converter program on your PC.
Today I want to introduce you a network communication device also called media converter, it is fiber media converter.
fiber media converters
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.
Fiber media converters support many different data communication protocols including Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, T1/E1/J1, DS3/E3, as well as multiple cabling types such as coax, twisted pair, multi-mode and single-mode fiber optics. Media converter types range from small standalone devices and PC card converters to high port-density chassis systems that offer many advanced features for network management. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) enables proactive management of link status, monitoring chassis environmental statistics and sending traps to network managers in the event of a fiber break or even link loss on the copper port.
Fiber media converters can connect different LAN media, modifying duplex and speed settings. Switching media converters can connect legacy 10Base-T network segments to more recent 100Base-TX or 100Base-FX Fast Ethernet infrastructure. For example, existing Half-Duplex hubs can be connected to 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet network segments over 100Base-FX fiber.
Multimode Fiber to Single-mode Fiber
When expanding the reach of the LAN to span multiple locations, media converters are useful in connecting multiple LANs to form one large “campus area network” that spans over a limited geographic area. As premises networks are primarily copper-based, media converters can extend the reach of the LAN over single-mode fiber up to 130 kilometers with 1550 nm optics.
Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology in the LAN is especially beneficial in situations where fiber is in limited supply or expensive to provision. As well as conventional dual strand fiber converters, with separate receive and transmit ports, there are also single strand fiber converters, which can extend full-duplex data transmission up to 70 kilometers over one optical fiber.
Other benefits of media conversion include providing a gradual migration path from copper to fiber. Fiber connections can reduce electromagnetic interference.
So what do you think of it after reading? Maybe you should take notes about it, in fact it contains a lot of knowledge which deserves to be explore.
