Technical Documents

This video introduces an important instrument involved in a fiber-optic network setup. Fiber optic cables transmit optic signals, while traditional electronics transmit digital signals, so a media converter and a small form-factor pluggable is important, it helps capture the signals and convert them between digital and optical.
