Media Converter is an unmanaged plug-in and is very easy to install and use for new users. This device establishes a simple connection between the devices but does not provide performance monitoring and management. Media Converter provides network monitoring performance, error detection, and remote management, and allows network administrators to fully control data, bandwidth, and data traffic. Management fiber optic converters are more expensive than non-managed converters and are used for more complex applications such as large data centers and enterprise networks because of their security, reliability, and better management.

PoE fiber optic converter is used to develop reliable and cost-effective fiber transmission distance for PoE devices and provides the electrical power required for devices through the same copper wires available for data transmission. These media converters can be used to power IP telephones, video conferencing equipment, IP cameras, and Wi-Fi devices via copper cable wiring.

Independent devices are very compact, easy to install, and save on price and installation space. These devices are suitable for use in environments with limited space, such as telecommunication rooms or distribution boxes. Chassis-based converters have several independent media converters and a chassis with the ability to install several converters. These devices are used in large networks, such as data centers.

Mini Converter Media Chips are better than standard Media Converter chips. Its advantage is that it has a DIP switch function (packet two in a line) that meets different needs. Due to its compact size, it is used in large networks.
