Stand-Alone Media Converters
• Copper to Fiber
• 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX
The miniature, plug-and-play operation Mx/E-PSW-
FX-01 2-port Ethernet/Fast Ethernet bridging media
converters allow connecting 10Base-T Ethernet and/or 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet
twisted-pair copper network devices to network devices on a 100Base-FX Fast Ethernet
fiber network. Depending on the media converter, the end user has the choice of three
options for powering the converters: power adapter (shipped with converter), USB, or
"802.3af™ Power over Ethernet" (PoE) enabled device.

  • Page 1 User’s Guide M/E-PSW-FX-01, MP/E-PSW-FX-01 & MU/E-PSW-FX-01 Stand-Alone Media Converters • Copper to Fiber • 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX The miniature, plug-and-play operation Mx/E-PSW- FX-01 2-port Ethernet/Fast Ethernet bridging media converters allow connecting 10Base-T Ethernet and/or 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet twisted-pair copper network devices to network devices on a 100Base-FX Fast Ethernet fiber network.
  • Page 2: Installation

    Locate or build IEEE 803.2™ compliant 100Base-FX fiber cable with male, two-stranded TX to RX connectors installed at both ends. Connect the fiber cable to the Mx/E-PSW-FX-01 media converters as follows: • Connect the male TX cable connector to the female TX port.

    Mx/E-PSW-FX-01 Installation -- Continued Connect the twisted-pair copper cable The AutoCross feature allows either MDI (straight-through) or MDI-X (crossover) cable connections to be configured automatically, according to network conditions. • If half-duplex mode is used, refer to the 512-Bit Rule. •...
  • Page 4: Power Adapter

    Operation -- Continued Product features Congestion reduction The Mx/E-PSW-FX-01 media converters do not forward collision signals or error packets from one collision domain to another, resulting in improvements in baseline network performance. In addition, the media converter filters packets destined for local devices, which reduces network congestion also.
  • Page 5: Automatic Link Restoration

    Fast Ethernet collision domain: In a half-duplex Ethernet or Fast Ethernet environment, the Mx/E-PSW-FX-01 media converters extend network distances by segmenting collision domains so that the 512-Bit Rule applies separately to each collision domain. In a full-duplex Ethernet or Fast Ethernet environment, the Mx/E-PSW-FX-01 media converters extend network distances to the physical cable limitations imposed by the selected twisted-pair copper fiber cables.
