Media conversion key as network convergence takes hold in data centers
By Donna DonnawitzApril 11, 2013
Considering media conversion
Fiber to Ethernet media converters provide the compatibility needed to use fiber as backhaul or for bandwidth-heavy data center links, allowing copper to be used freely in other parts of the data center. This can be incredibly beneficial in a converged network environment because the flattened architecture of the setup can sometimes be prone to bottlenecks and other problems when large data spikes take place in certain parts of the infrastructure. Fiber provides the bandwidth needed to handle the added stress in these areas.
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.
