Media Converter In Cisco — Packet Tracer Link [upd]

Look for modules like the PT-SWITCH-NM-1FGE (a single-port Gigabit Fiber Ethernet module) or GLC-LH-SMD (Single-Mode Fiber SFP).

In Cisco Packet Tracer, the Media Converter is a physical layer device used to bridge different physical mediums—most commonly converting a copper Ethernet connection (RJ45) to a fiber optic connection. This allows you to extend network distances far beyond the 100-meter limit of standard copper cables.

You might wonder: Do real networks use these? Yes, but they are considered "legacy survival tools." Modern best practices use directly in switches. However, in certification labs (CCNA) and real-world scenarios where you cannot upgrade a switch, media converters are essential.
