(9) Coaxial/optical media converter/repeater
The coaxial/optical media converter/repeater converts an electrical signal on a coaxial cable
(10BASE5/10BASE2) to an optical signal. Typical examples are the FOIRL (Fiber-Optic
Inter-Repeater Link) for inter-repeater connection and the 10BASE-FL for connection to a
terminal. The coaxial/optical media converter/repeater is used, for instance, for noise
immunity assurance or cable extension.
