Media Converter Selector

 

Choose the right media converter to connect two dissimilar media types

At its core, media converters are simple networking devices used to connect two devices or LANs that are not entirely relatable, due to different speeds, operation types, modes or media types (twisted pair, fibre, coax). For more information on media converters visit Black Box Explains.

Selecting the right media converter can be a daunting task. Our selector will help you choose the right media converter for your application, from the desktop to industrial environments.
