March 16, 2023 A Perfect Solution for Copper to Fiber Transition
Last year, I purchased the M7273SB 10/100 Base TX to 100 Base FX Fiber Optic Media Converter with Multimode ST for my office network. I have tested and tried many media converters over the years, but nothing can match its performance. I can say this upgrade has brought remarkable improvement in data transmission, especially within the office LAN. Earlier, we faced challenges with high-speed file transfers. This media converter has assisted us in resolving these issues. We no longer worry about large file transfers or video conferencing interruptions any longer. Adding to this, the setup was simple, the converter has blended well with our existing network infrastructure, too. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to transition to fiber optic networking.
