@ Macía Please can you help us to help you and provide some more information.
What other items appear with "medium converter" in this section of the catalogue?? Thanks in advance for your efforts.
Neil Ashby Sep 26, 2013:
Hi Jo I'm not doubting that media converters exist as you describe. They appear under "networking" and are "filed in: modems", according to your ref. which covers everything in the world of automation, but they are still "MEDIA" converters and not "medium" converters. ;)
We can discuss it all day, we really need a little more help from the asker, if we could see a few more items that appear in the list then we'd know in a jiffy!

@ JoLuGo But the ST is neither "media converter" nor "mediums converter". I don't think that information systems would come under the category of "Process Automation and Control equipment".
Neil Ashby Sep 26, 2013:
Hi Macía What other items appear in the category?
Is it definitely "medium" and not "mediums"?
JoLuGo Sep 26, 2013:
media or medium? medium (plural media or mediums)[1]
1.
2.​(
3.​(plural media or mediums) A format for communicating or presenting information.

media converter = mediums converter

transformador de tensión media

Presuming this is electrical equipment then "converter" willl refer to a "transformador".
"medium", we must assume, refers to the voltage output after conversion..... HTH

As said by others, without more context we are guessing.

neutral Neil Ashby : What do you propose are the "media" being converted? Data storage formats? Solid to liquid? BTW if the ST referred to "medios" it would be written "media converter", wouldn't it?
