Fiber making a home in the data center

Take out your media converters
If you are going to try and take full advantage of fiber-optic cabling in the data center, you probably want to invest in a few good fiber to Ethernet media converters. While fiber will get the job done for you in many parts of the data center, you are still probably using Ethernet for the vast majority of your structured cabling architectures. As a result, you need to have media converters at the ready if you want to make the most of the network.
Perle has an extensive range of Managed and Unmanaged Fiber Media Converters to extended copper-based Ethernet equipment over a fiber optic link, multimode to multimode and multimode to single mode fiber up to 160km.
