Media converter

Media converter If high interference immunity is needed or long transmission distances are involved, then fibre-optic cables are advisable. One simple and inexpensive solution is the Weidmüller media converter, which can convert an RJ45 port to an optical port with an SC or ST glass fibre connection. The power supply can be designed with redundancy, which means you get a high level of protection against failures. The conversion of RJ45 copper ports to SC or ST fibre-optic ports can be set to transparent. The Industrial Ethernet media converter is a solution for industrial applications that demand an exchange of data between copper and glass-fibre media that is robust and immune to interference. Media converters are inexpensive devices and offer the chance to integrate glass fibres into a network. Weidmüller media converters are real-time-compatible and remain transparent in the network.
