Mediaconverters

Industrial media converters for Ethernet from Advantech are compact and reliable devices designed to convert signals from Fast or Gigabit Ethernet networks into FOLDs, which convert electrical Ethernet signals into optical ones. Thanks to modern industrial technology, Advantech offers reliable Ethernet media converters for any Fast or Gigabit Ethernet solution.

One of the advanced software media converters is to connect devices with different types of network interfaces, for example, to connect a medium Ethernet cable to a fiber optic network or to increase the extension of a network connection. Fiber optic cables can carry signals over longer distances than medium cables, so a media converter can be used to convert the medium signal into a fiber optic signal for longer distance transmission.

Media converters come in many different form factors and can be designed for use in different environments. They can be standalone devices or integrated into other network equipment. Some media converters are designed for use in harsh environments, such as outdoors or in industrial environments, and are designed to withstand extreme temperatures, humidity, and other hazards.
