Media Converters — Fiber to Copper, Point to Point
A media converter joins a fiber run to a copper Ethernet port, extending links far beyond copper's 100-metre limit — up to 20 km on single-mode fiber. Lizora Infotech supplies Lysora gigabit media converters across India, usually in pairs, with quotations within 24 hours.

Overview
What media converters are used for
A media converter is the simplest way to put fiber into a copper network: one unit at each end of the fiber run, copper handoff at both sides, no configuration. Where a switch with SFP slots is overkill — a single camera pole, a gate barrier, a remote shed — a converter pair does the job at a fraction of the cost.
The Lysora range covers gigabit converters with SC single-mode optics to 20 km, in compact desktop bodies. Auto-negotiation on the copper side means the far-end device just works.
Typical buyers are CCTV integrators reaching poles past 100 m, facility teams linking outbuildings, and ISPs terminating P2P fiber at customer premises where an ONU is not the right fit.

Buying Guide
How to choose a media converter
Converter links fail on mismatched pairs, not on the units themselves. Check these four points.
Buy matched pairs
Both ends must agree on speed, fiber type, and wavelength. Order converters in pairs — or single-fiber BiDi variants as an A/B set — and label which end is which.
Fiber type and distance
Single-mode SC to 20 km covers most Indian site links. Multimode variants suit short in-building runs where that fiber already exists.
Gigabit, not 10/100
Camera clusters and building links grow; the gigabit price difference is small compared to re-trenching or re-climbing a pole later.
Converter vs SFP switch
One or two links: converters win on cost and simplicity. Many links terminating in one rack: a switch with SFP slots is cleaner — one device instead of a tray of converters.

Before You Enquire
Frequently asked questions
Do media converters need to be used in pairs?
Yes, in the common case: one converter at each end of the fiber turns copper→fiber→copper. The exception is when the far end is a switch or OLT with an SFP slot — then one converter pairs with an SFP module instead.
See SFP modulesHow far can a media converter link run?
Lysora gigabit single-mode converters run up to 20 km over one fiber pair. Real reach depends on connector and splice losses along the route — keep a few dB of margin on runs near the limit.
Media converter or PoE extend mode for a far camera?
PoE extend mode reaches roughly 250 m at reduced speed and still powers the camera over copper. Beyond that — or where lightning risk on long copper is a concern — run fiber with a converter pair and power the camera locally at the pole.
See PoE switchesWhat is the price of media converters in India?
Converter pricing depends on speed and reach class, quoted per pair with dealer slabs on volume. Converter lines are typically part of a CCTV or campus BOQ — send the full list and every line is priced together within 24 working hours.
