    SGFEB Series User Guide Introduction The SGFEB Series is a stand-alone media converter that provides an interface between 10/100/1000Base-T ports and 1000Base-SX/LX ports, allowing users to integrate fiber optic cabling into 10/100/1000 copper environments. 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.
