Copper-to-Fiber Media Converters

MRV Fiber Driver Copper-to-Fiber media conversion modules connect legacy copper network elements to new or existing fiber optic infrastructure. LAN communications may be extended to distances of up to 90 kilometers without amplification. The Multimode Extender (MX) technology found in selected Fiber Driver products extends the range of multi-mode fiber with link distances of up to 8 kilometers. Copper-to-multi-mode and copper-to-single-mode solutions are available for Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, copper or fiber Gigabit Ethernet, OC-3/STM-1, DS3, and E3
