The Ethernet converter is also called the protocol converter, and the protocol converter is also called the gateway. These three devices refer to the same device. They enable hosts on the communication network that use different high-level protocols to still cooperate with each other to complete various distributed applications. It works at the transport layer or higher

Optical transceiver is a device that converts multiple E1 (a data transmission standard for trunk lines, usually with a rate of 2.048Mbps, which is adopted in China and Europe) signals into optical signals and transmits them.

The biggest difference is that the Ethernet converter is a protocol conversion device, while the optical transceiver is a photoelectric conversion device
