Fiber-optic sensing solutions gaining prominence
By Max BurkhalterFebruary 4, 2013
While these areas are ideal locations for optical sensing technology, they depend on media conversion.
Importance of media converters for optical sensing
Fiber to Ethernet media converters are necessary when supporting fiber-optic cable sensors. Such solutions work effectively when they can alert personnel about a problem and ensure a rapid response. This is only possible if the optical cable link is attached to a data network, making Ethernet connectivity a natural choice.
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.
