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.
Mapping between Fibre Channel N_port IDs (aka FCIDs) and Ethernet MAC addresses. "Converged" network adapter. Computers can connect to FCoE with converged network adapters (CNAs), which contain both Fibre Channel host bus adapter (HBA) and Ethernet network interface controller (NIC) functionality on the same physical card. CNAs have one or more ...
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 ...
Fiber-optic inter-repeater link; the original standard for Ethernet over fiber, superseded by 10BASE-FL, deprecated 2011 10BASE-F: 802.3j-1993 (15) A generic term for the family of 10 Mbit/s Ethernet standards using fiber optic cable: 10BASE-FL, 10BASE-FB and 10BASE-FP. Of these only 10BASE-FL gained widespread use. 10 Mbit/s over fiber pair ...
Ethernet over fiber is a networking technology that delivers Ethernet bandwidth ranging up to 400 Gbit/s using optical fiber lines. Such wired transmission methods extend connectivity over long distances up to 200 km, support higher bitrates and provide far greater immunity from electromagnetic interference (EMI) than electrical connections.
Intel XFP Transceiver (MultiMode Fiber Optics) The XFP (10 gigabit small form-factor pluggable) is a standard for transceivers for high-speed computer network and telecommunication links that use optical fiber. It was defined by an industry group in 2002, along with its interface to other electrical components, which is called XFI.

(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 (fiber-to-the-router ...
