We supply a fiber media converter in Oman that turns a copper network port into a fiber link. This one is a 10/100M single fiber converter with an SC connector. It is sold as an A and B pair, with one unit at each end of the link. It reaches up to 20 km on one single mode fiber. So you can link a camera, a gate controller or a building far beyond the 100 metre limit of copper. We price each order by quote. Send the details on WhatsApp and we reply with the price.
Fiber media converter in Oman: why it comes as an A and B pair
| Unit | Sends on | Receives on |
|---|---|---|
| A | 1310 nm | 1550 nm |
| B | 1550 nm | 1310 nm |
A single fiber converter sends and receives on the same strand, using two different wavelengths. The A unit sends on one wavelength, and the B unit listens on that wavelength. So you need one A and one B. Two A units, or two B units, will not link. Fit one at each end of the fiber.
What the 10/100M speed means for your fiber media converter
| Use | Fits a 10/100M converter |
|---|---|
| One IP camera | Yes |
| An access control controller or gate controller | Yes |
| A few cameras on one link | Usually, check the total |
| A switch carrying many cameras | No, choose a gigabit link |
The link runs at up to 100 Mbps. That is plenty for one camera or a controller. Several high resolution cameras behind one switch can pass 100 Mbps together, so use a gigabit link for those. Tell us how many cameras share the link, and we will say if this fiber media converter in Oman suits.
Distance and the fiber your fiber media converter needs
The converter works over single mode OS2 fiber, 9/125 micron, up to 20 km. The real distance depends on the fiber quality and on the number of splices and connectors. Use a single mode simplex SC patch cord, which is yellow. Do not use multimode fiber with this converter. See our fiber optic cable for the single mode cable to run between the two ends.
Powering a fiber media converter and an IP camera
Each converter runs from a 5V DC external adapter. So you need a mains socket at both ends. The converter does not supply PoE. If your IP camera is powered by PoE, add a PoE injector or a PoE switch at the camera end. Keep the converter in a shaded, ventilated box, because it works up to 60°C.

What you need with a fiber media converter
The converter is one part of the link. You also need the fiber cable, a way to end it, and a patch cord to the converter. For a long run, the cable is spliced to pigtails in a patch panel, and that needs a fusion splicer. Buy your fiber media converter in Oman with the matching parts, so the whole link comes from one supplier. See our fiber optic products for the cable, panels and patch cords.

If you are not sure, tell us what you want to link and how far apart the two points are. We will suggest the converter and give the price.
Fiber media converters supplied across every governorate
We supply Muscat, Sohar, Nizwa, Salalah, Sur, Duqm and every other governorate. A fiber link suits a gate controller, barrier or reader more than 100 metres from the network. See our access control systems, gate barriers and structured cabling.
Common questions
What is a fiber media converter?
A fiber media converter links a copper Ethernet port to a fiber cable. It lets a network reach beyond the 100 metre limit of copper.
Why does the media converter come as an A and B pair?
A single fiber converter uses two wavelengths on one strand. The A unit and the B unit use opposite wavelengths, so you need one of each. Two A units or two B units will not link.
Can the media converter power an IP camera?
No. The converter does not supply PoE. Use a PoE injector or a PoE switch at the camera end. Each converter also needs its own 5V DC power adapter.
How much does a fiber media converter cost in Oman?
The price depends on the number of pairs and the type. We quote each order on WhatsApp, so you pay for what you need.
