Active Components

What do we mean by an “Active Product” ?

A product that contains electronic or optical devices that consume electrical power to operate

Examples: – Copper-to-fiber “Media Converters”– USB hubs, Ethernet switches and routers– RF and Microwave amplifiers– Digitzers, delay-lines, switches, etc.

Why Fiber Optic Media Converters?

Why Fiber Optics?– Reduced Weight– Increased Distance– Reduced EMI headaches

Glenair offers:– Ruggedized Mil/Aero fiber

optic Media Converters– Engineering Design support
