: Connect your copper network link to Port 0 and your fiber backbone link to Port 1. The hub will automatically pass the electrical signals onto the optical medium at Layer 1. Step-by-Step Configuration Example
Real-world media converters sometimes experience duplex mismatches if one side is set to auto-negotiate and the other is fixed. In Packet Tracer, ensure both connected interfaces share the same speed settings ( speed 1000 ) and duplex settings ( duplex full ). Summary of Benefits in Network Design
If you are interested, I can provide a more complex lab scenario that includes VLANs and security configurations on top of this fiber connection.
Verify you are using the dedicated fiber port on the computer (e.g., PT-HOST-NM-1F).
Click on the router, open the Physical tab, and toggle the power switch OFF . (Modules cannot be added while the device is running).
A media converter is a networking device that connects two different media types, most commonly copper (Ethernet) to fiber optic cabling. It acts as a transparent bridge, converting electrical signals from a RJ-45 copper port into light signals for a fiber-optic cable, and vice versa. Common Use Cases
This absence can be a problem when you need to build a topology that reflects a real-world scenario where, for example, a legacy switch with only copper ports needs to connect to a high-speed fiber backbone. In the physical world, you would place a media converter between them to handle the signal translation. However, in Packet Tracer, you must find a workaround.
Equip the Switch-PT with one (Copper) and one PT-SWITCH-NM-1FFE (Fiber) module.
By following these steps, you should be able to successfully configure a media converter in Cisco Packet Tracer.
Let's put this knowledge into practice with a simple lab example that demonstrates a typical use case for media conversion: connecting a standard copper-only switch to a router via a long-distance fiber link.

If you need to connect multiple copper devices to a fiber uplink without routing overhead, using a modular switch is the most efficient method. The has fixed ports, so you must use the Cisco PT-SWITCH-EMPTY . Step-by-Step Implementation
Using Media Converters to Link Fiber and Copper in Cisco Packet Tracer
Cisco Packet Tracer does not have a dedicated "Media Converter" device icon in its toolbar. You must use specific network equipment to simulate this media conversion functionality. How Packet Tracer Handles Media Conversion
The Media Converter in Cisco Packet Tracer has several real-world applications:
