Mini Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter

The M/GE-PSW-SX-01(LC)NA is a new stand-alone Mini media converter designed for cost-effective entry-level media conversion. It bridges 10/100/1000Base-T copper ports and 1000Base-SX fiber ports in space-limited locations. Plug-and-play deployment requires no configuration. It operates at Layer 2 to convert copper to fiber and provide rate conversion for legacy 10/100 devices.

850nm Wavelength 1000Base-SX Interface

The single specification that decides compatibility is the 850nm wavelength 1000Base-SX fiber interface. This transceiver only links with matching 1000Base-SX optics at the same wavelength. It will not operate with 1000Base-LX, single-mode fiber, or any interface using a different wavelength. Verify the remote end uses identical 1000Base-SX 850nm optics before purchasing.

1804.46 ft Maximum Distance on Multimode Fiber

The converter supports a maximum distance of 1804.46 ft over multimode fiber cable. This comfortably handles typical building and campus backbone runs within a single floor or between adjacent racks. It runs out on longer campus links, metropolitan spans, or any route exceeding the stated reach. Buyers needing greater distance must select a different optic.

Questions about this item

What does the 1000Base-SX rating mean for actual throughput in a live network?

The transceiver handles gigabit Ethernet at 1000 Mbps over multimode fiber, and the copper side auto-negotiates at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps so legacy 10/100 devices can connect without reconfiguration.

How does the LC duplex interface limit the link distance in practice?

The LC duplex connector carries 850 nm light over multimode fiber, and the link is rated for 1804.46 ft; beyond that distance signal loss will exceed the receiver sensitivity.

What mounting space and power does the wall-mountable chassis require?

The unit is a compact wall-mountable enclosure that ships with an AC adapter, so you only need a nearby mains outlet and a flat vertical surface for the included brackets.
