About Media Converters
Media converters connect different types of
cabling media, extending transmission distances
well beyond the capabilities of twisted pair
wiring, and allowing for integration of new
fiber-based equipment into non-fiber legacy
networks. Conversely, media converters also
allow operators to preserve their investment in
legacy copper-port hardware as more and more
legacy copper networks are updated with fiber.
B&B Electronics’ media conversion solutions
are available in a variety of form factors and
configurations, from low-cost standalone
units to rack-mountable modules designed for
high-density applications.
About FTTx & Optical Access
Optical Access and FTTx solutions from B&B
Electronics integrate traditional media converters
with advanced remote management and configu-
ration capabilities, allowing service providers to
deliver next-generation, managed, high-speed
Internet, Ethernet Private Line and Transparent
LAN services to businesses, multi-dwelling
units (MDUs) and residential customers. FTTx
solutions are also used by Enterprise customers
when managed media converters are needed on
campus networks.
B&B Electronics’ solutions are available in a wide
variety of form factors and configurations, ranging
from standalone units (CPE), to rack-mountable
modules designed for high-density applications.
Service Providers
B&B Electronics’ fiber optic media conversion
and optical access solutions can make provision-
ing of fiber-based services less complex and
more affordable.
Modular, chassis-based Central Office (CO)
solutions accommodate a variety of managed
Ethernet, VDSL, T1/E1/J1, DS3/E3 fiber
extension and FTTx applications from the
same platform. Intelligent Customer Premises
Equipment (CPE) solutions allow service
providers to control, manage and monitor the
entire access network and end points without
a visit to the customer’s location, reducing
operational costs while providing capabilities
not commonly found on other Ethernet media
converters.
Whether providing Fiber-to-the-Home, Business
or Premises, B&B Electronics’ solutions support
distances up to 100 km, and offer single-strand
and CWDM optical interfaces. The products work
seamlessly with other manufacturers’ products to
maximize service providers’ investment in the
existing equipment and fiber network infrastruc-
ture.
Enterprise LAN/WAN
Fiber optic media converters make a crucial
connection between different cabling types and
speeds. Media converters are the most flexible,
cost-effective solution for extending network
distances and integrating fiber optic cabling into
twisted pair structured cabling systems. They
increase performance of active equipment and
also accelerate legacy network segments to
Gigabit speeds.
With solutions ranging from simple, standalone
converters to intelligent, SNMP managed
systems, B&B Electronics provides the industry’s
widest variety of media and mode converters.
These solutions support most Ethernet speeds,
cabling types and distances, fitting a wide range
of enterprise networking applications including:
• Bringing Fiber-to-the-Desk
• Bridging LAN segments with dissimilar fiber
types
• Using PoE (Power over Ethernet) to bring
power to network devices such as Wireless
Access Points and IP Cameras
Government
The U.S. Government has historically been a
pioneer in networking research, development
and Internet technology. B&B Electronics proudly
supports federal, state and local governments
with fiber solutions that combine high security
with greater bandwidth.
B&B Electronics is a preferred vendor to
government organizations worldwide. In addition
to standalone and PC card media converters,
B&B Electronics also has an extensive line of
SNMP-managed media converters that offer
increased security. IMC Networks’ fiber mode
converters allow network managers to connect
multi and single-mode network segments
together, simplifying network planning.

Fiber is most commonly associated
with long distance connections. Today,
however, it is rapidly gaining market share
in LAN topologies, once considered the
domain of copper cabling. Fiber offers
many advantages:
• It has exceptional bandwidth, and can
carry multiple signals concurrently
• It is immune to electromagnetic interfer-
ence
• It has no electromagnetic emissions,
making it resistant to eavesdropping
• It is lightweight
• It is virtually "future proof"
