GAO Fiber Optics has launched a new, advanced Ethernet media converter that can be used to join the fiber cables with the twisted cables without interrupting the network operations.
GAO3302-Ethernet media converter
The 3302 converter is IEEE802.3 compliant and can change the data signals between 100Base-Fx and 10/100Base-Tx Ethernet. The converter can be used in a central wiring cabinet or as a slide-in unit in a converter rack or as a standalone module. The converted data signals can be transmitted over an extended distance.
The 3302 media converter is available for 100/140, 62.5/125 or 50/125 µm multi-mode fiber and 10/125, 9/125, 8.7/125 or 8.3/125 µm single mode fiber. The converter also supports LFP, half-duplex and full-duplex communications.
The converter contains a distinct switch chip design and a remote diagnostic capability, and its range of data transmission distance varies from 2-20 km at a maximum speed of 10 or 100 Mbps. The converter also has a 2k MAC address list and a 512kb SSRAM buffer in addition to auto-update function, address auto-learning function, broadcast filtering and store-and-forward mechanisms.
