Understanding and Configuring Media Converters in Cisco Packet Tracer
A common scenario in Packet Tracer is connecting a switch that only has RJ45 copper ports to a distant router or another switch that has a fiber SFP port. 1. The Setup Switch 2960 (Copper port Fa0/1). Device B: Router 2911 (Fiber port). Intermediate: Media Converter (To bridge the gap). 2. Physical Connections
Now, open Packet Tracer and bridge that gap. Remote Copper Link: : Click the switch and
: Use a Fiber cable (the orange line in Packet Tracer) to connect that switch to another fiber-capable device.
Use a Copper Straight-Through cable to connect the Switch (Fa0/1) to the RJ45 port on the Media Converter.
Locate the virtual on the right side of the switch image. Click it to turn the device OFF . Look at the left menu for available modules.
Fiber optics use light instead of electricity, making them immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI).
