<p>A media converter 310 is operable to convert Ethernet signals to optical signals for transmission, and to receive optical signals and convert such them to Ethernet signals. The media converter produces optical signals suitable for use with plastic over fibre (POF) 304. Preferably a first media converter 310 is connected to a second media converter 302 by a plastic fibre for bidirectional communication. The first media converter transmits a test signal 312 to the second media converter 302 and in response the second media converter transmits a second test signal 314 to the first media converter. Upon receipt of the second test signal 314 at the first media converter, the first media converter provides an indication that the POF is suitable for transmission of optical signals.</p> |
