media converter

A device that interfaces disparate transmission media, making the necessary signal

conversions at the Physical Layer. For example, a media converter is required to interface a fiber optic transmission system such as Passive Optical Network (PON) to the copper unshielded twisted pair (UTP) used in inside wire applications on the customer premises. See also Physical Layer, PON, and UTP.
