Fibre Converters

[Myzer]

Hey guys

I need some advice for some Fibre converters.

the setup up is as follows.

I have about 4 remote locations in the factory, which I want to connect via Fibre to a central location.

So basically to the central location I am going to have to terminate 4 x fibre optic cables, what is going to be my best method to convert these to ethernet?

4 x individual fibre to UTP converters, and then into a switch.

also note that I will probably be adding in two maybe 3 more fibre links in the future.

Regards
Craig

Hi Craig

Can you give me more details to your current setup, from what it sounds you are going to have fibre laid from the core switch to the remote location, we have used trendnet converters and the setup is basically like this from the fibre patch-panel we have the Fibre pig tails that are connected to the Trendnet converters from the converter we have a UTP cable into the switch , on the remote side is the same kind of setup.

This is a basic setup so I hope I am on the right path. If you can give me more details that would be great as it from the core/main switch will the fibre be connected to another switch or directly into a user PC or network device?

Lloyd

are you connecting the remote sites to a switch? or endpoint?
if switches, and they have uplink ports you just need to get SFPs
small business switchs are cheap nowaday and come with 1G/10G uplinks, you just add the SFP

Just get a Mikrotik CRS with multiple SFP's. I never like fibre converters. Will be cheaper than getting the converters.
