Introduction

The M/GE-PSW Series is a Gigabit Ethernet stand-alone Mini media converter that provides cost
effective media conversion between 10/100/1000Base-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 2, the data link layer, this converter not only converts copper to
fiber, it also provides rate conversion allowing legacy 10/100 copper devices to connect to 1000Base-
SX/LX fiber.

    ESD protection. Copper and Fiber Ports The figure below shows the front panel of the M/GE-PSW-SX-01 media converter. Connect the Fiber Cable Full duplex (always ON) is on the fiber side only; therefore, the 512-Bit Rule does not apply. The cable lengths are constrained by the cable requirement.

  • Page 5: Connect The Twisted-Pair Copper Cable

    1. Locate or build IEEE 803.2™ compliant 10/100/1000Base-T cables with RJ-45 connectors installed at both ends. 2. Connect the RJ-45 connector at one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port on the M/GE-PSW-SX-01 media converter. 3. Connect the RJ-45 connector at the other end of the cable to the RJ-45 port on the other device switch, workstation, etc.

    Transition Networks, Inc. M/GE-PSW-xX-01 User Guide Operation Status LEDs Use the status LEDs to monitor the status of the media converter. LED states are as follows: Fiber-Link/Act LED: Green = Link (fiber) Flashing = Activity TP-Link/Act LED: Green = Link (copper)
  • Page 7 Transition Networks, Inc. M/GE-PSW-xX-01 User Guide Active Link Pass-Through (ALPT) Link Pass-Through is a troubleshooting feature that allows the media converter to monitor both the fiber and copper RX ports for loss of signal. With the loss of RX signal on one media port, the converter will automatically disable the TX signal of the other media port, thus “passing through”...
