This video shows what fiber optic media converters (https://goo.gl/oW8Jpb) can do by converting copper RJ45 port to fiber SFP port. And we simulate how to extend the distances to more than 100 meters between two gigabit Ethernet switches by using mini type fiber to Ethernet media converters. Also there’s a demonstration on the LEP function and the FX 100M function of the mini media converter’s DIP switches.

Edit:
Hey guys, thank you for watching! I didn't expect there would be so many audiences who would like to use media converters. And I found many of you asked the question about if a media converter could replace the ISP's ONT or modem, maybe it's because of the second animation in the video, but sorry the answer might be negative. The media converter is just for media conversion, like fiber to copper or copper to fiber conversion, while the ISP's ONT has more complex functions, including both media AND protocol conversion. See more explanations in this forum topic: https://superuser.com/questions/1326606/changing-a-fiber-internet-modem. I'm sorry for bringing misunderstandings to you in the second animation. I'll make more explicit and clear explanations in my future videos, thank you for your feedbacks! BTW, some models used in this video have been EOS, but you could quote and choose other models that suit your needs instead.
