Increasing internet network speed and capacity is a priority in modern telecommunications systems. This research aims to measure and compare the performance of two transmission media devices, namely the Gigabit Converter (media converter) and Optical Line Terminal (OLT), in the FO network at the Malang State Polytechnic AI Building. The research method used is quantitative. Tests were carried out on the OLT and converter using a gigabit server and switch before the OLT device as well as a server before converter A and a gigabit switch before converter B. Data transfer speed was measured using Openspeedtest, while attenuation and network power were obtained via an Optical Power Meter. The research results show that the download data transfer speed on the OLT is 589 Mbps and the converter is 973 Mbps, while the OLT upload is 873 Mbps and the converter is 961 Mbps. The QoS value shows the average delay on the OLT is 0.367 ms and the converter is 0.321 ms. OLT packet loss is 0.12% and converter 5.74%. Average OLT throughput is 612.975 Mbps and converter 854.551 Mbps. Attenuation on the OLT is 21,452 dB and the converter is 10,447 dB. The receiving power of the OLT detector is -14,781 dBm and the converter is -5 dBm. The results show the converter has higher performance in data transfer speed and several QoS parameters, while the OLT is superior in overcoming packet loss. Both devices meet PT Telkom's attenuation standards.
