Copper-to-Fiber Media Converters

Overview

Fiber Driver® copper to fiber media conversion modules from

MRV make it easy to merge legacy copper network elements with

new or existing fiber optic infrastructure. LAN communications

may be extended to distances of up to 90 km. In addition, the

Multimode Extender (MX) technology found in select Fiber Driver

products breaks the transmission barrier of multi-mode fiber with

link distances of up to 8 km.

Copper-to-fiber solutions are available for Ethernet, Fast Ethernet,

Gigabit Ethernet, OC-3/STM-1, DS3, and E3. Additional Ethernet

copper-to-fiber solutions are provided by the MRV signal repeater

and switch modules.
