- AS/NZS CISPR 22:2006 is stated in the Tecom fibre-kit technical documentation for the supplied SFP module. ([aritech.com.au](https://aritech.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Tecom_Fiber_kits_DS_FEB2026.pdf?utm_source=openai))
- AS/NZS 2967:2014 provides safety and installation guidance for optical fibre communication cabling systems and associated equipment. ([normsplash.com](https://www.normsplash.com/Samples/AS/116523138/AS-NZS-2967-2014-en.pdf))
- Optical fibre provides long-distance data transmission without copper signal conductors in the communications path
- Fibre links are immune to electromagnetic interference, which can reduce the need for additional shielding or replacement caused by interference-related faults
- Durable industrial components and a wide operating temperature range can extend service life and reduce replacement waste
- The media converter supports redundant power inputs, which can help improve system availability and reduce premature equipment replacement
