Introduction

Transition Networks M/GE-T Series is a Gigabit Ethernet stand-alone Mini media converter that provides cost effective
media conversion between 1000Base-T ports and 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 1, the physical
layer, data is passed through the converter at line speed, making it ideal for applications where low latency is essential.
