The Intellinet gigabit media converter enables the integration of copper cable connections in a fiber optic network. This allows the integration or expansion of the existing network with minimal cost and effort. Since the converter is completely network-transparent, the network continues to operate in the same way - now with the support of both copper and fiber-optic media.
Extends an existing network
Thanks to the fiber optic connection, even remote workgroups can be integrated into the network. Without additional routers, building-to-building connections can be set up, saving WAS costs and effort.
Increases the range between network devices
Connecting to a fiber optic segment can increase the distance between remote network nodes. This can be achieved by directly connecting the converter to a fiber optic connection node or network device.
Flexibility in cabling
Network administrators can install fiber optic cables anywhere within a network without having to change the structure of the copper cable network. Through the compact design of the converter this can be installed both at places with limited space, as well as at a wall mounting. Similarly, several converters can be integrated at the same time in a 19" rack-mount casing.
