Abstract
An optical media converter system is divided into an outdoor installed optical media converter and an indoor installed unit, which are connected to each other through an electrical Ethernet cable. The indoor installed unit includes two electrical Ethernet terminations and a power source section for supplying an electrical power from indoor to outdoor. The outdoor installed optical media converter includes an optical-electric converter, optical Ethernet termination, electrical Ethernet termination, and a power source section for generating a power source by an electrical power supplied from the indoor. With the above configuration, there can be provided an optical media converter system in which the need to draw the fiber-optic cable into a home can be eliminated, cost involved in a wiring work can be reduced, and a circuit design thereof is advantageous in cost reduction.
