Perle Systems, a global provider of advanced fiber to Ethernet and secure device networking solutions, revealed that Stockton East Water District (SEWD) selected Perle Media Converters for its network expansion.
When SEWD needed to add redundancy to the network to improve reliability, the distances were just to long for traditional CAT5 cable. Perle Media Converters for CAT5 to multimode fiber provided the Ethernet distance, and network security, needed.
In the first step of the process SEWD decided to use Fiber Media Converters to connect remote servers, over 2000 feet of fiber-optic cables, to a 1000Base-TX Switch in the main server room. This solution ensured a seamless long distance fiber to Ethernet connection without any loss of processing power or operating speeds. The arrangement also allowed SEWD to utilise existing campus wiring and provide catastrophic protection against data loss in-case of fire or flood.
