One of the easiest ways to achieve photoelectric conversion is to use Gigabit single-mode fiber converters, which are widely used in modern network systems and are usually used to convert between two different transmission media (fiber and copper) or use to expand the network.
Single Mode Gigabit Fiber Transceivers
However, the function of the fiber converter is not limited to this, it can also realize single-mode-multi-mode, simplex-duplex and conversion between different wavelengths. Today, the editor of Shengwei will talk about how to use fiber converters to achieve single-mode-multi-mode, simplex-duplex.
Why use fiber optic converters
In terms of photoelectric conversion, the use of fiber converters greatly reduces the cost of fiber-to-the-home, so what role does it play in single-mode-multi-mode, simplex-duplex and conversion between different wavelengths? The following will illustrate the important role of fiber converters in these applications with examples.
Single-mode to multi-mode conversion
As we all know, when the distance between two connection points in the network system is long, we need to use single-mode fiber optic cables to transmit optical signals to ensure the normal transmission of signals. Therefore, many network service providers use single-mode fiber optic cables for transmission. Optical signals, and many devices in data centers or enterprise networks are multi-mode fiber ports. At this time, a device that can realize single-mode-multi-mode conversion of optical signals is required.
The campus network is such a common application. The equipment in the campus building is usually a multi-mode fiber port, and the connection between the buildings is usually a single-mode fiber optic cable. The single-mode-multi-mode conversion function of the gigabit single-mode fiber converter has been fully exerted at this time. The following figure is the simplest connection solution for the fiber converter to realize single-mode-multi-mode conversion:
Simplex-duplex conversion
Now, most of the devices in the optical network are transmitted through duplex optical fibers, that is, one is used to receive optical signals, and the other is used to transmit optical signals. With the development of receiving and transmitting), the equipment that uses simplex optical fiber for transmission has gradually become common. Then to realize the connection between duplex equipment and simplex equipment, it is necessary to use a fiber converter to perform simplex-duplex conversion.
In addition, the use of fiber converters for simplex-to-duplex conversion can greatly increase the transmission capacity of the fiber. For example, as time goes by, the network will have more and more end users and devices. Therefore, network providers will meet this demand by increasing the number of switches and fiber optic cables. At this time, it is also necessary to increase the number of suppliers The fiber optic cable between the terminal and the user terminal.
However, the cost of adding fiber optic cables between the supplier's central office and the user end is high. If the simplex-duplex conversion function of the fiber optic converter is used, the number of fibers used can be reduced by half, which greatly increases the transmission of each fiber. capacity and cost savings.
