Bridge the Gap: A Pro's Guide to Fibre Media Converters
Your network needs to go further than the 100-metre limit of standard copper ethernet cable, or you need to distribute a pristine satellite signal across a massive commercial site. How do you do it without signal loss or a mountain of boosters? The professional solution is a Media Converter, a clever and reliable device designed to seamlessly bridge the gap between traditional copper and high-speed fibre optic networks.
At SCHNAP, our Media Converter range is built to provide no-fuss, high-performance signal conversion for data, SMATV, and industrial applications.
Extending Your Data Network (Ethernet-to-Fibre)
This is the most common use for a media converter. A pair of these devices allows you to extend your LAN over many kilometres, not just metres, with complete immunity to electrical interference.
- How it works: One converter takes your Gigabit Ethernet copper connection and converts it to a light signal. This is sent down a fibre optic cable. At the other end, a second converter changes it back to a copper Ethernet connection. Simple, fast, and incredibly reliable.
- Our Range: We stock a variety of converters with ports for SC, ST, and LC fibre connectors, often using flexible SFP modules to suit any job.
Distributing TV & Satellite Signals (RF-over-Fibre)
For large commercial sites, apartment blocks, or campus environments running an SMATV (Satellite Master Antenna Television) system, sending a coaxial signal over long distances can be problematic. Our range of optical transmitters and receivers solves this.
- How it works: An optical transmitter converts the RF signal from your satellite dish or TV headend into a light signal. This can then be distributed over a fibre backbone with virtually zero loss. Optical receivers at each endpoint convert the signal back to RF for connection to a TV or set-top box.
A Solution for Every Installation
Our range is selected to meet the needs of any project, big or small.
- Compact Designs: Perfect for simple, point-to-point installations where you just need to connect two distant locations.
- Advanced Rack-Mounted Systems: For data centres or MATV head-ends, our chassis-based systems allow you to manage multiple media conversions in one neat, space-saving unit.
