Fiber Media Converters are critical in networks where fiber needs to be integrated with different kinds of cabling, such as copper or serial, to optimize performance, cost, and scalability. They convert the electrical signals used in these other types of cables into the light waves used in multimode or single mode fiber optic cabling, and vice versa.

Fiber Media Converters are also used to extend the data transmission distances of a fiber network by linking multimode to single mode or simply joining two multimode cables together.
