Fiber Media Converter Network Diagram

Most network diagrams tend to show entire devices instead of individual interfaces and leave layer 1 connections as a simple line.

Fiber media converter network diagram.

Packaging contents 1x gigabit ethernet fiber media converter. The standard media converter does not require a web interface and essentially convert signals from ethernet to fiber. The two fiber media converters should be supported by electricity. There is no true standard symbol shape for a media converter since that is generally viewed as an interface level item.

If needed the included sfp module lc fiber connector can be removed from the media converter and be replaced with a transceiver module with different specifications. The rj45 port of each media converter is connected to 10 100base tx hub and computer server separately. In the figure below a fiber media converter with 1 sfp slot and 1 rj45 is applied connecting the ethernet switch switch b of all rj45 interfaces to an sfp switch. As it is more of a commonplace to deploy a pair of fiber media converters in a network a single media converter is sometimes needed to link copper cabling to a fiber device.

In this application two gigabit ethernet switches equipped with mm fiber ports are connected utilizing a pair of gigabit fiber to fiber converters which convert the mm fiber to sm and enable the long distance connection between the switches. For fiber optic media converter that has a sfp sfp or xfp transceiver interface. A fiber to fiber media converter can extend a mm network across sm fiber with distances up to 160km.
