Media converters in unexpected places - meeting rising network demands

Industrial settings
Industrial operations have traditional been a haven for serial connections. Let's face it, if you want zero-latency, reliable network connectivity for automation and control infrastructure, you generally need serial. However, many companies find that they can get away with Ethernet in more areas, and are doing so.

However, using Ethernet in such settings can be limiting because many industrial organizations need to extend the network to distant locations on a campus. Fiber can prove ideal in this area, enabling organizations to extend the network and improve connectivity throughout a facility.

These are just two areas where fiber is gaining prominence. There are many sectors where rising network demands are creating new operational challenges. The end result is a situation in which media converters could start becoming prominent in a wide range of settings.

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.
