Will fiber optic work?

Question

Computer networks

Hello!
There are 2 laboratories at work at the Institute. One in the basement, the other on the 4th floor. Between them more than 100m distance. There was a need to expand the network and reach it up to the 4th floor and put a router there. Can this be done somehow with fiber optics? I heard that there are some converters that make a regular RJ-45 connector from fiber optics. Who thinks what?

Answer 1

You can try with an extension cord (repeater). There are such ones that work through POE tinko-sb.ru/products/e-poe-1g-320157 or analogues without POE.
You can put equipment with optics - exactly meet the length. Router/switch with SFP+ port and corresponding optics module.
In general, it should work without an extension cord at a distance of up to 120m without amplifiers / repeaters ... But this is already out of luck.

Answer 2

Yes, you can, it's a regular media converter, optics comes into it, and utp comes out. Or you can put switches sfp ports.

Answer 3

Google sfp. And switches with optical ports will do ... Full of these, the same dlink

Answer 4

If there is less than 200m inside one building and between switches, then just pull it with a twist and put a regular 5-port switch in the middle, you will find where to power it. it will be much easier and cheaper.
Well, if you have money and a contractor who will weld the fiber for you, then throw away the fiber and take switches with SFP.
But the fiber is usually dragged between buildings - where it is impossible to put active equipment among the line, or open laying utp does not withstand operating conditions, or high density is needed.
