The Intellinet Network Solutions Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter offers the network designer a device for migration from copper-based Ethernet to Fiber Ethernet. It offers maximum flexibility with 10/100/1000Base-TX and autonegotiation. Now, migration or expansion of existing networks can be achieved with minimum cost and complexity.
The converter is completely transparent to the network, so the network performs exactly the way it did before, only now it can support both copper and fiber media. The Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter provides fiber connectivity to Ethernet segments, allowing for even greater networking expansion between extended workgroups. It also provides building-to-building connectivity without the cost and disruption associated with installing additional routers.
