Media conversion vital as network demands change

Using media converters and terminal servers to create value
Many companies find themselves in a situation in which they depend heavily on network systems to support application, service and data delivery. However, many Ethernet networks can struggle to keep pace with operational demands. This is making optical cabling deployment key in many sectors. The problem is thatfiber is often too expensive to be a viable option across the entire network. Media converters can help companies use fiber where necessary, but still rely on copper in other parts of the network, maximizing the cost-to-performance ratio in the network.

Similarly, many organizations are becoming more dependent on internal microgrids and automation and control networks, making terminal servers necessary to deal with serial to Ethernet interoperability issues.

Network demands are changing and increasing in many sectors, making new technologies vital in many settings. This can create major interoperability issues, making media converters and terminal servers vital.

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.
