Copper-to-fiber 100BASE-FX or 1000BASE-X media converter reference design for grid applications
Description
This reference design details a methodology to use the DP83849 evaluation board to implement a 10/100BASE-TX to 10/100BASE-FX media converter: which enables copper based legacy equipment to be easily connected to a fiber network. Copper based Ethernet (10/100BASE-TX) has been widely used in grid local area networks: but with limited communication distance. Fiber optic networking has been well established and has continuous cost reductions. It is feasible and cost efficient for utility to use fiber optic networks to manage wide area equipment: which brings higher speed: longer coverage distance: and more reliable communication.
Features
- Low power consumption: Stand-alone Media Converter without any software programming Strapping by using jumpers for ease of evaluationCan be extended for use as a Dual 10/100 Copper Ethernet interface Well suited for Mini-size 10/100BASE-TX to 100BASE-FX Media ConverterApplication note describes how to use DP83849IFVS-EVK to demo the Media Converter application
Applications
- Multifunction relay
- Processor module
- Wired communication modules
- Substation automation
- High-voltage direct current (HVDC) power transmission
