History
Ethernet was emerged at Xerox Park between 1973 and 1974.
Ethernet is currently used to interconnect commercial/ industrial
appliances and other personal devices. Industrial ethernet is boosting
modern data transmission systems in telecommunications networks.

What is Ethernet in Networking?
Ethernet is primarily a widely used communication protocol
applied mainly to transmit & receive data between two or
more different types of network cables like from copper to fiber
optic and the other way around.
Ethernet is commonly utilized in homes and industry, and
interworks well with wireless Wi-Fi technologies. the web
Protocol is typically carried over Ethernet then it's
considered one of the key technologies that structure the web
platform. .
There are many types of Ethernet networks. A standard Ethernet
network can transmit data at a rate up to 10 Megabits per
second (10 Mbps).

Types of Ethernet Networks
Fast Ethernet: Fast Ethernet is that way of transferring data at the speed of
100 megabits per second. It is the computing networking term for a LAN
transmission standard. Typically these types of network uses a twisted pair
or CAT5 cable.
Gigabit Ethernet: Gigabit speed is an upgrade from Fast Ethernet. Unlike
Fast Ethernet Gigabit Ethernet requires specifically designed network
devices, like a Gigabit Ethernet switch, which will support the speed
of 1000 Mbps rate . GE can work well with a regular coaxial cable that
meets the CAT5e or CAT6 cabling standards.

Types of Ethernet Networks
10-Gigabit Ethernet: This network type is even more advanced and works
at high speed data transfer rate of 10 Gigabit/second. 10 Gigabit Ethernet
switches are employed in very high speed network applications – mostly in
the data center or server room.
Switch Ethernet: This type of network requires a switch or hub to function.
Also, there is no need of a twisted pair cable as a normal network cable
works well in this case.

Types of Ethernet Cables
10Base2: This is a thin twisted pair coaxial cable.
10Base5: This is thick twisted pair coaxial cables.
10Base T: This is a twisted pair cable which offers a speed of around
10 Mbps.
100BaseTX: This is a twisted pair cable and offer a speed of 100 Mbps.
100Base FX: Fiber optic protocol which offers a speed of 100 Mbps.
1000Base SX: Fiber optic protocol which utilizes a wavelength of
850nm for multimode networks.
1000Base LX: Fiber optic protocol which utilizes a wavelength of 1310
nm, for multimode networks and up to 1550nm for singlemode
networks.

Ethernet media converter
An Ethernet media converter is a
small device that can support
communications between two
different types of network media
such as fiber and coaxial cables.
Media converter is a 2 ports
equipped device, where 2 different
networking cables can be plugged
in, copper interface on one side
and fiber interface on another side
while transmitting the data.

Advantages of Ethernet Media
Converters
Easy installation: Installing Ethernet media converters becomes
easy as they can be installed as standalone or rack mountable in
a media converter chassis,. Because they are quite small &
compact, can be placed in cramped areas.
Cost-effective: Media converters create more reliable and cost
effective network as they support a wide list of protocols, data
rates and media types. Media converters can connect fiber and
copper networks without having to install a altogether a new
infrastructure for your entire network.

Advantages of Ethernet Media
Converters
Increased speed: Fiber-based media converters are versatile due
to which the functionality becomes fast and at an affordable cost.
Larger coverage: Converters allow a user to transmit data over
distances up to 100km by using fiber optic conversion.
Less electromagnetic interference : Media converters make the
data transmission path between copper to fiber much smoother,
with the added benefit of less electromagnetic interference.
Other: Converters can even convert any IP device such as a
camera to fiber optic.

Conclusion
With all of the growing demand for data in both
personal and professional lives, Media converters
are a great tool to have if you are willing to
expand a current network or building a new
network at faster speeds. For optimal use of your
network and improving your speed of
communication, you can always opt for a top
quality Ethernet Media converters and other fiber
optic devices manufactured by VERSITRON
