miConverter 18-Module Chassis
Fiber-to-the-Desk
In the upper left of this diagram, UTP from a core switch is
converted to ber with a miConverter 18-Module chassis of
media converters.
1. Fiber is distributed to a eld-deployed laptop computer.
A miniature miConverter media converter provides fiber
connectivity to the laptop and draws power from the laptop’s
USB port (represented by the black line).
2. Fiber is distributed to a Thin Client, where a miniature
miConverter converts the fiber to copper and provides
connectivity to the Thin Client device that does not have a
ber port. The miConverter module is powered directly from
a USB port on the Thin Client device, eliminating the need for
an electrical outlet and saving energy costs.
3. Fiber is distributed to a PC or Workstation, where a
miniature miConverter converts the ber to a UTP cable that
is connected to the workstation supporting a 10, 10/100 or
10/100/1000 copper connection. The miConverter module is
powered directly from a USB port on the PC or Workstation.
Hybrid Copper/Fiber Campus LAN
This application example illustrates an Ethernet Enterprise
network with a star topology that provides multiple ber links
to remote buildings. In the upper left, three copper UTP links
from a core switch are converted to three ber links via a
miConverter 18-Module chassis of media converter modules.
The ber links run to remote buildings, where the ber at
each location is converted back to copper and distributed to
end users at different buildings. Management is carried from
the core switch across the ber link to each switch located
at the remote buildings. This provides centralized network
management across the campus network.
