[0002] With the rapid development of internet technology, the scale and speed requirements for network data transmission continue to rise. Fiber optic communications, with its exceptional high speed, large capacity, and low loss, have become a core element of modern network infrastructure. Across numerous network applications, whether it's massive data exchange in data centers, efficient information flow in corporate offices, or high-speed broadband access for home networks, fiber optic networks are becoming increasingly widespread.

[0003] In traditional fiber optic access panel technology solutions, the mode in which fiber optic signals are converted and then transferred to network cables is relatively fixed. Most devices can only implement a single setting for the number of network cables that can be transferred, that is, they can only transfer one network cable or can only transfer two network cables. For example, in some scenarios where the network bandwidth demand is low and only a single terminal device needs to be connected, if a device that can only transfer two network cables is used, not only will network cable resources be wasted, but the existence of redundant lines may also introduce unnecessary signal interference and increase costs; conversely, in some scenarios where the network bandwidth demand is high and multiple devices need to be connected simultaneously, if the device can only transfer one network cable, it will not be able to meet the data transmission needs, seriously restricting the performance of the network and the normal operation of the business.

[0053] S2, data acquisition and environmental monitoring stage; the STM32 microcontroller simultaneously starts the data acquisition threads for multiple sensors; through the connection with the LM35 temperature sensor, the temperature analog signal is read according to the set sampling frequency and converted into a digital temperature value; the humidity analog signal transmitted by the HIH-4000 humidity sensor is processed in the same way to obtain the current environmental humidity information; for the AD8318 electromagnetic interference sensor, the electromagnetic interference signal amplified by the OPA695 broadband amplifier is continuously received, and the electromagnetic interference intensity is calculated using the internal algorithm; at the same time, the optical power signal processed by the signal conditioning circuit of the S120C optical power detector is periodically obtained to monitor the intensity of the optical signal; all the collected data are stored in the internal buffer area of ​​the STM32 microcontroller for subsequent analysis and decision-making;

[0054] S3, signal conversion and transmission decision stage; the STM32 microcontroller continuously monitors the working status feedback information from the FTlx8571D3BCL optical transceiver chip to determine whether there is optical fiber signal access and whether the signal quality is normal; if the optical fiber signal is normally accessed, the signal is processed according to the pre-set network connection mode; when a single network cable transfer is required, the STM32 microcontroller sends a single network cable transfer control signal to the BCM54616 network processor chip, which selectively converts the processed signal through the common mode choke and H1102NL network transformer according to specific line guidance rules. Finally, the electrical signal suitable for single-cable transmission is output to the corresponding RJ45 interface. When dual-cable switching is required, the STM32 microcontroller sends a dual-cable switching control signal, and the BCM54616 network processor chip directs the processed signal to two sets of lines connected to the RJ45 interface, so that both RJ45 interfaces can output the converted network signal. During the signal conversion and transmission process, the STM32 microcontroller also dynamically adjusts the operating parameters of the BCM54616 network processor chip based on the collected environmental data and optical signal strength data to ensure stable and efficient signal transmission under different environmental conditions.

[0055] S4. Handling the no-power mode: The optical network conversion panel obtains power through the reverse power supply mechanism between the terminal and the network cable via specific pins of the RJ45 interface. The STM32 microcontroller configures each chip for low power consumption, adjusting parameters such as operating frequency and sampling frequency to ensure that basic optical signal conversion and network transmission functions can be maintained in the low-power state. At the same time, the user is informed of the current no-power mode through the OLED display or other indication methods, and the power supply status is monitored in real time.

[0056] S5, information display and interaction stage; the STM32 microcontroller integrates and processes the collected information such as temperature, humidity, electromagnetic interference intensity, optical power, and network connection status, and transmits the data to the OLED display screen through the I2C interface for display; so that users can intuitively understand the working status of the optical network conversion panel.

[0057] During use, after the system is powered on, the STM32 microcontroller first executes the startup program to initialize and configure its internal registers, clocks, etc., and then sequentially detects the hardware connection status with the FTLX8571D3BCL optical transceiver chip, BCM54616 network processor chip, LM2596 conversion chip, LM35 temperature sensor, HIH-4000 humidity sensor, AD8318 electromagnetic interference sensor, S120C optical power detector and OLED display. If the connection is normal, it sends initialization instructions to each chip and sensor to put them into the ready state. If there is a connection failure, the corresponding error code or prompt message is displayed on the OLED display. The STM32 microcontroller then simultaneously launches multiple data acquisition threads, reading the analog temperature signal from the LM35 temperature sensor at a set sampling frequency and converting it into a digital temperature value. It then performs the same processing on the analog humidity signal from the HIH-4000 humidity sensor to obtain humidity information. It also continuously receives the AD8318 electromagnetic interference sensor signal, amplified by the OPA695 broadband amplifier, and calculates the electromagnetic interference intensity using an internal algorithm. It also periodically acquires the optical power signal from the S120C optical power detector, processed by the signal conditioning circuit, and stores all of this collected data in an internal buffer. Simultaneously, the STM32 microcontroller continuously monitors the operating status feedback from the FTLX8571D3BCL optical transceiver chip to determine whether a fiber optic signal is connected and whether the signal quality is normal.When the optical fiber signal is normally connected, if single network cable transfer is required, the STM32 microcontroller sends a single network cable transfer control signal to the BCM54616 network processor chip. The BCM54616 network processor chip converts the processed signal according to specific line guidance rules through the common mode choke and H1102NL network transformer, and finally outputs the electrical signal suitable for single network cable transmission to the corresponding RJ45 interface. If dual network cable transfer is required, the STM32 microcontroller sends a dual network cable transfer control signal. The BCM54616 network processor chip guides the processed signal to two groups of lines connected to the RJ45 interface, so that both RJ45 interfaces can output the converted network signal. In the process of signal conversion and transmission, the STM32 microcontroller will dynamically adjust the BCM5 based on the collected environmental data and optical signal strength data. The operating parameters of the 4616 network processor chip, such as transmission rate and signal gain, are used to ensure stable and efficient signal transmission under different environmental conditions. The optical network conversion panel obtains power through the reverse power supply mechanism between the terminal and the network cable using specific pins of the RJ45 interface. The STM32 microcontroller configures each chip for low power consumption and adjusts parameters such as operating frequency and sampling frequency to ensure that basic optical signal conversion and network transmission functions can be maintained in a low-power state. Finally, the STM32 microcontroller integrates and processes the collected information such as temperature, humidity, electromagnetic interference intensity, optical power, and network connection status, and transmits the data to the OLED display screen through the SPI interface for display.
