Fiber rising in security sector

Using media converters to support fiber in security settings
When fiber is used to provide perimeter security, which is often the best model for taking advantage of the cabling formats, the wiring should only need to connect with Ethernet based systems in a few places. These include when the fiber system reattaches to switches supporting the internal network and in locations where the perimeter network branches off to connect with cameras. As a result, fiber to Ethernet media converters are essential to meet security requirements.
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.
