Media converter.

Also written fibre to Ethernet converter, fibre media converter, SC media converter.

What does a media converter do?

It turns a copper Ethernet port into a fibre link, so a switch with no fibre port can reach a building 2 kilometres away over single mode. One converter at each end, matched in speed, fibre mode and connector, and a fibre patch cord between. Where the switch has an SFP slot, a transceiver does the same job; the converter is for the switch that does not.

Data Systems poster on media converters, two copper to fibre converters with SC and LC fibre ports on a plinth between a blue copper patch cord and a yellow fibre patch cord — **Media converters, from copper to fibre.** Extending Ethernet over a fibre link takes four checks: the converter joins copper Ethernet to optical fibre, its speed must match both the Ethernet and the fibre link, the optics must match fibre type, connector and wavelength, and both ends need compatible optics and power. Reach depends on the optics and the link budget. From the Wall of Networking.
