What is a fiber optic converter

<p>Optical fiber transceiver is an Ethernet transmission media conversion unit that exchanges short-distance twisted pair electrical signals and long-distance optical signals. It is also called a <a href="https://www.tel-bridge.com/fiber-optic-converter" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">fiber optic converter</a> in many places. Products are generally used in actual network environments where Ethernet cables cannot be covered and optical fibers must be used to extend the transmission distance, and are usually positioned in the access layer applications of broadband metropolitan area networks; It also played a huge role in helping to connect the last mile of optical fiber to the metropolitan area network and the outer network.</p><p><br></p><p>Fiber optic converters usually have the following basic characteristics:</p><p>1. Provide ultra-low latency data transmission.</p><p>2. Completely transparent to the network protocol.</p><p>3. A dedicated ASIC chip is used to realize data line-speed forwarding. Programmable ASIC concentrates multiple functions on one chip, and has the advantages of simple design, high reliability, and low power consumption, which can enable equipment to obtain higher performance and lower cost.</p><p>4. Rack-type equipment can provide hot-swappable functions for easy maintenance and uninterrupted upgrades.</p><p>5. Network management equipment can provide network diagnosis, upgrade, status report, abnormal situation report and control functions, and can provide complete operation logs and alarm logs.</p><p>6. Most equipment adopts 1+1 power supply design, supports ultra-wide power supply voltage, and realizes power supply protection and automatic switching.</p><p>7. Supports an ultra-wide operating temperature range.</p><p>8. Support complete transmission distance (0～120km).</p><p><br></p>
