Introduction
The Transition Networks M/GE-PSW-PSE-01 Gigabit Ethernet Stand-alone Mini Media Converter provides cost
effective media conversion between 10/100/1000Base-T ports and 100/1000Base-SX/LX ports. With its fixed
configuration, deployments are just plug-and-play, and its small size makes it ideal for locations where space is
limited. Operating at Layer 2, the data link layer, this converter not only converts copper to fiber, but it also
provides rate conversion allowing legacy 10/100 copper devices to connect to 1000Base-SX/LX fiber.
In addition to providing copper to fiber conversion, this converter is also classified as Power Sourcing Equipment
(PSE), meaning it combines data received over the fiber optic link with 56VDC input power to provide power and
data to a Powered Device (PD) over the twisted Pair cable, while complying with the IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at
PoE+ standards. This allows the user to take advantage of the benefits of fiber cabling, along with the benefits of
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) technology.
Supporting PoE allows this converter to send data and power to devices like VoIP Phones, Security Cameras, and
Wireless Access Points, especially if they must be located in remote areas of your network that can only be
reached with fiber optic cabling.
