Media Converters

Media converters let you mix fiber and copper (twisted-pair) cables in the same

system.

Use a switch to mix media:

• Physical layer devices offer no buffering or advanced diagnostic features.

• Physical layer devices are easily overrun by an EtherNet/IP system (no

buffering = lost data).

• Layer 2 devices have buffering, QoS, and other management features.

Bridges

A bridge is a device that isolates traffic between segments by selectively

forwarding frames to their proper destination. A bridge is transparent to the

network and protocol independent. More advanced devices that perform the

same bridging function are commonly used instead of a bridge.
