A fiber media converter is a simple networking device that makes it possible to connect two dissimilar media types such as twisted pair with fiber optic cabling. They were introduced to the industry in the 1990s, and are important in interconnecting fiber optic cabling-based systems with existing copper-based structured cabling systems.
SFP transceivers are available with a variety of transmitter and receiver specifications, allowing users to select the appropriate transceiver for each link to provide the required optical or electrical reach over the available media type (e.g. twisted pair or twinaxial copper cables, multi-mode or single-mode fiber cables). Transceivers are ...
(fiber-to-the-desktop or -desk): In an office, fiber connection is installed from the main computer room to a desk or fiber media converter near the user's desk (fiber-to-the-door): Fiber reaches outside the flat; FTTR can mean three different things: (fiber-to-the-radio): Fiber runs to the transceivers of base stations
Reduced media-independent interface (RMII) is a standard which was developed to reduce the number of signals required to connect a PHY to a MAC. Reducing pin count reduces cost and complexity for network hardware especially in the context of microcontrollers with built-in MAC, FPGAs , multiport switches or repeaters, and PC motherboard chipsets.
1000BASE-SX GBIC. Gigabit interface converter (GBIC) is a standard for transceivers.First defined in 1995, it was used with Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel.By standardizing on a hot swappable electrical interface, a single gigabit port can support a wide range of physical media, from copper to long-wave single-mode optical fiber, at lengths of hundreds of kilometers.
Media Gateways are used for transcoding media between PSTN and IP networks A media gateway is a translation device or service that converts media streams between disparate telecommunications technologies such as POTS , SS7 , Next Generation Networks ( 2G , 2.5G and 3G radio access networks) or private branch exchange (PBX) systems.
Fiber optic cables connect the headend or hub to the optical nodes in a point-to-point or star topology, [25] or in some cases, in a protected ring topology. Each node can be connected via its own dedicated fiber, [ 26 ] so fiber optic cables laid outdoors in the outside plant can have several [ 27 ] dozen to several hundred or even thousands ...
A circuit diagram (or: wiring diagram, electrical diagram, elementary diagram, electronic schematic) is a graphical representation of an electrical circuit. A pictorial circuit diagram uses simple images of components, while a schematic diagram shows the components and interconnections of the circuit using standardized symbolic representations.
