Description

The Transition Networks M/GE-PSW-SFP-01 is a compact, stand-alone mini media converter designed to deliver cost-effective, entry-level media conversion between 10/100/1000Base-T copper networks and 100/1000Base-X fiber. With its fixed configuration, deployments are simple, plug-and-play affairs—you install an SFP module, connect your copper and fiber links, apply power, and you’re ready to extend your network without complex setup. This versatile converter is ideal for bridging legacy Ethernet devices to modern fiber backbones, enabling seamless integration across campus networks, data centers, and edge deployments while preserving your existing copper investments.

  • Plug-and-play copper-to-fiber conversion: Easily connect a 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet device to a 1000Base-X fiber segment without software or configuration, reducing installation time and complexity.
  • Unmanaged, stand-alone design: A simple, reliable device that requires no management interface or firmware updates—perfect for small to mid-size networks seeking straightforward expansion.
  • Fixed configuration for rapid deployment: The M/GE-PSW-SFP-01 ships with a fixed, non-configurable setup, ensuring predictable operation and minimizing field troubleshooting.
  • Hot-swappable SFP support: Swap or upgrade the SFP fiber module on-site without powering down the device, enabling flexible fiber choices and future-proofing your network.
  • Space-efficient, compact design: A small form factor that fits easily into crowded racks or wall-mount installations, making it ideal for space-limited environments while expanding connectivity options.
