Fiber Line · 14 Models + Chassis
A fiber media converter does one job perfectly: it turns a copper Ethernet port into a fiber run — 550 metres on multimode, up to 120 kilometres on single-mode — and back again.

Every network design meets the same wall: copper Ethernet ends at 100 metres and suffers in electrically noisy or lightning-exposed runs. The media converter is the classic answer — a small, usually unmanaged box with a copper port on one side and fiber on the other. ONV's converter catalogue counts 14 models: 10/100M and gigabit, single-mode and multimode, dual-fiber and single-fiber (WDM) variants, board versions, and 14/16-slot 2U rack chassis that power and house a whole row of converters in the wiring closet.
Converters are bought in matched pairs and specified by four things: speed, fiber type, fiber count and reach. The featured model's datasheet lays out the reach table plainly — multimode 0–550m, single-mode 0–40 km at 1310nm and 0–120 km at 1550nm — with the module choice setting the actual reach of a given unit.

Specify a converter pair by the fiber you have or can run. Existing multimode in a building: multimode modules, 550m ceiling. New runs or anything longer: single-mode, and choose dual-fiber for simplicity or single-fiber WDM where fiber strands are scarce. In the closet, a rack chassis beats a shelf of wall adapters once you pass four or five links. The single-mode vs multimode blog guide covers the fiber decision itself.
Building-to-building links, perimeter and gate cameras at distance, factory floors with heavy interference, campus backbones and any run where copper's 100 metres or lightning exposure rules it out.
They must match on fiber type, wavelength and fiber count — the same model at both ends is the simple way to guarantee it. The copper sides can differ (a converter can face a switch's SFP port equipped with the matching module).
The converter itself is powered locally and passes data only. Powering a device at the far end is a separate design — see the PoE media converter page for the converter + injector pattern and PoE-fed options.
