Media Converters

Transition Networks Media ConvertersTransition Networks’ full line of feature rich media converters transparently connect one type of media, or cabling, to another - typically copper to fiber. By bridging the gap between legacy copper infrastructures and fiber growth, Transition Networks’ media converters provide an economical path towards extending the distance of an existing network, extending the life of non-fiber based equipment, or extending the distance between two like devices.

Available in stand-alone, modular chassis-based, or PCI powered configurations, Transition Networks‘ media converters offer copper to fiber and fiber to fiber media conversion in the following supported protocols: Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, Power-over-Ethernet, 100/100, 10/100/1000, ATM, T1/E1, DS3/E3, POTS, RS232, RS485 and more.

With industry leading advanced features such as Auto-Negotiation, AutoCrossTM, Link Pass Through, Far End Fault, and Automatic Link Restoration - Transition’s media converters make an invisible component in the physical layer “visible” to network managers; allowing more efficient troubleshooting and less on-site maintenance. These cost and time saving features, along with a lifetime warranty and free 24x7 worldwide technical support, have made Transition’s media converters the #1 choice among industry IT professionals.
