Fiber Media Converters enable the transmission of Ethernet data up to 99.4 miles (160km) over optical fiber. This means UTP copper-based Ethernet equipment can take advantage of the benefits of fiber which also include:
- Convert 10/100/1000/10G Base-T Ethernet to Fiber Optic
- Protecting data from noise and interference
- Future proofing your network with additional bandwidth capacity

Fiber Media Converter models that are best suited for reliable network up-time, offer an on-board processor that continuously monitors that both the copper and fiber connections are up. This functionality, generally referred to as "Link Pass-Through", monitors the state of the link to the end devices and to ensure that each end-point knows whether the entire link is up or not. Some media converter products do not have this intelligence and simply “nail up” the link even though the remote copper device may be down or the fiber link broken. With Link Pass-Through functionality available in all Perle Fiber Optic Converters, the network’s SNMP management system can be alerted when a fault occurs so that corrective action can take place.
