MOXA Media Converter is a standalone
physical layer device that converts between 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX
segments of the same network. The converter is designed with a switch
controller and memory buffer, providing smooth operation and data transfer
between the two media.
One of the predominant applications of
MOXA Media Converter is as a LAN extender, in the sense that two
converters can be used in tandem to connect remote 10/100Base-TX segments
belonging to the same LAN. In this case, the fiber optic medium has the
ability to connect LAN segments located a distance of up to 15 km apart.
Note that this type of setup transmits data at the maximum rate of 100
Mbps across the fiber, greatly reducing the chance of packet collisions
between the two LAN segments. Fiber optic data transmission is also immune
to interference caused by lightning, power transformers, and the switching
on and off of large motors. MOXA Media Converter can be used to run fiber
cable through areas that would cause interference problems if copper
cabling were used.
