Unmanaged / Managed / Mini Media Converters

GAO’s unmanaged / managed / mini media converters are devices used in networking to convert signals between different types of media, such as copper and fiber optic cables.

Unmanaged Media Converters: GAO’s unmanaged media converters are plug-and-play devices that provide simple media conversion without any configuration or management capabilities. They are typically used in small-scale networks or applications where simplicity and cost-effectiveness are prioritized.

Managed Media Converters: GAO’s managed media converters can be configured, monitored, and controlled remotely through network management software or a web-based interface. Managed media converters offer additional functionalities like link fault pass-through (LFP), VLAN support, SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), and advanced diagnostics.

Mini Media Converters: GAO’s mini media converters are designed with a smaller physical footprint. They offer media conversion functionality in a more space-efficient package. Despite their smaller size, they can still provide similar media conversion capabilities as their larger counterparts.

GAO’s unmanaged / managed / mini media converters are composed of power supply, media interfaces, signal conversion circuitry, led indicators, housing, and management interface (managed converters).
