Product Overview
14 Media Converter Rack (Ref 277) is part of the fiber optic media converter range built by Ever Expresslink Limited in Ningbo, China.
It is one of 8 items in this range. A typical application is linking buildings on a campus over multimode or single-mode fiber. What the range is built to give you there: single-fiber and dual-fiber versions to suit the fiber you actually have.
The problem it addresses is ethernet runs that exceed the copper distance limit. A practical note that applies across this range: use matched bidirectional pairs on single-fiber links; the wavelengths are complementary. Specifications for a particular configuration are confirmed on the quotation rather than assumed from the designation.
Key Benefits
- Supplied as 14 Media Converter Rack (Ref 277), so the part you receive matches the designation you ordered against
- Single-fiber and dual-fiber versions to suit the fiber you actually have
- Extends Ethernet well beyond the copper distance limit
- Electrically isolates the two ends, removing ground loop and surge paths
- Keeps existing copper equipment in service on a fiber backbone
Problems It Solves
- Ethernet runs that exceed the copper distance limit
- Electrical noise and ground potential differences between buildings
- Legacy equipment with copper-only ports on a fiber network
- Lightning and surge damage on inter-building copper
Application Scenarios
- Consolidating converters into a rack chassis in a comms room

Handling 14 Media Converter Rack (Ref 277)
Before You Order
- Match the fiber mode and wavelength at both ends before deploying
- Use matched bidirectional pairs on single-fiber links; the wavelengths are complementary
- Check the optical budget over the actual route, not the straight-line distance
In Service
- Keep converters powered from a protected supply where the link is critical
- Label both ends of the link with the converter pair reference
- Verify at full line rate, not just link-up, before handing over
Questions About 14 Media Converter Rack (Ref 277)
What do you need from us to quote 14 Media Converter Rack (Ref 277)?
The quantity, the destination and anything that has to match on your side: connector and polish at each end, fiber mode and core size, and length where the item is an assembly. If you are matching a part you already buy, send the sample and we will quote against it.
Do SFP-based converters give more flexibility?
Yes. With SFP slots you choose the optics separately, which lets one converter model cover short multimode links and long single-mode spans, and lets you change reach later without replacing the converter.
Can converters be rack mounted?
Yes, chassis versions consolidate multiple converter cards into a single rack-mounted unit with shared power, which is normally what you want above about six links.
Do converters need configuration?
Standard units operate without configuration. Confirm duplex and speed settings on the equipment they attach to, since a mismatch there is the most common cause of a link that comes up but performs badly.
What is the difference between single-fiber and dual-fiber converters?
Dual-fiber uses one fiber for each direction at the same wavelength. Single-fiber carries both directions on one fiber at two different wavelengths, so the units must be bought as matched A and B pairs.
