Applications
An Ethernet to Fiber Media Converter can also be used where there is high level of electromagnetic interference or EMI which is a common phenomenon found in industrial plants. This interference can cause corruption of data over copper-based ethernet links. Data transmitted over fiber optic cable however is completely immune to this type of noise. An Ethernet to Fiber Optic Converter therefore enables you to inter-connect your copper-ethernet devices over fiber ensuring optimal data transmission across the plant floor.

How to test media converters?
SOPOT as one of the biggest manufacturer for fiber media converters, now, please follow the below steps to test our fiber optical media converters.
1. Preparation
1.1 Samples
Prepare two sets of media converter for testing.
Media converters: One set of 100M Base-FX SM Ethernet and 10/100Base-TX full duplex/ half duplex auto negotiation Ethernet ports, fiber wavelength is 1310nm or two sets of bi-direction media converters, the working wavelength is 1310nm/1550nm.
1.2 Testing equipment
One set of Smart bits 2000IP protocol analyzer, testing software is Smart Applications and Smart Window
One set of power meter; One pc fiber attenuator; two sets of fiber patch cords,100ohm unshielded twisted pair cable or 150Ohm shielded twist pair cable
2. Testing theory
YD/T 973-1998 SDH 155Mb/s and 622Mb/s fiber transceiver and fiber receiver technology
IETF RFC 2544 Benchmarking Methodology for Network Interconnect Devices IETF RFC 2889 Benchmarking Methodology for LAN Switching Devices
Fiber Media Converter Test Equipment
3. Testing items, requirements and measures
3.1 Physical performance
3.1.1 Interface
Requirements: 10Base-T, 100Base-TX/FX and 1000Base-SX/LX etc., 10Base-T, 100Base-TX can support auto negotiation ports. The interface mode is half duplex and full duplex
Testing measures: Connecting the relative interface, and then check the light of the interface and links status.
3.1.2 Front Panel indicator
Testing measures: Inspect and verify the working status of indicator by connecting the relative ports and transmitting data.
3.1.3 Output Power
Under normal working condition, the transmitting optical power ranges as below:
MM: 2Km, 850nm:-17~ -20dBm; MM: 5Km, 1310nm, -8~ -14dBm
SM: 25Km, 1310nm,-12~ -15dBm; SM: 50Km, 1310nm -8~ -12dBm; 80Km, 1550nm,-3~-5dBm
Sensitivity range as below:
MM: 2Km, 850nm, <-31dBm, MM: 5Km, 1310nm, <-31dBm; SM: 25Km, 1310nm, <-38dBm;
SM: 50Km, 1310nm, <-38dBm; SM: 80Km, 1550nm, <-38dBm
Fiber loss range as below:
MM: 2Km, 850nm, 3dBm/Km; MM: 5Km, 1310nm, 2dBm/Km; SM: 25Km, 1310nm, 0.4dBm/Km; SM: 50Km, 1310nm, 0.4dBm/Km; SM: 80Km, 1550nm, 0.25dBm/Km
Testing measure: Connecting the relative interface and transmitting data and testing the output power by using power meter.
