Verizon working to transform Manhattan's optical network setup

Taking advantage of fiber in multi-unit dwellings
Recent advances in fiber-optic cabling have made installation in multi-unit buildings easier. In the past, the inflexible nature of optical wires made it difficult to reach multiple units in a structure. More flexible cables are simplifying installation, making such projects possible. In this setting, media converters play a major role in ensuring fiber-optic cabling systems are able to interact properly with the copper networks that are still used within home and office units. Media conversion is becoming essential in connecting telecom networks with infrastructure in housing units as fiber becomes more prominent.

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.
