Transition Networks M/E-ISW-FX-02(SFP) Media Converter

Product Description

The TRANSITION NETWORKS M/E-ISW-FX-02(SFP) is an industrial-grade mini media converter designed to bridge 10/100BASE-TX copper Ethernet connections to fiber optic links via an SFP slot. Built for demanding environments, it converts standard twisted-pair copper signals to fiber, extending network reach and providing electrical isolation between segments. This unit is suited for installation in industrial facilities, manufacturing floors, and utility environments where network infrastructure must tolerate harsh operating conditions. Network technicians and industrial controls integrators are the typical installers.

This media converter is deployed in industrial Ethernet applications where copper-to-fiber conversion is required at the edge of a network. Its compact, mini form factor allows installation in tight spaces or within control panel enclosures. The SFP slot accepts interchangeable fiber modules, giving installers flexibility to select the appropriate wavelength and reach for a given fiber run. It fits within automation networks, process control systems, and industrial LAN segments that require reliable copper-to-fiber conversion at 10 or 100 Mbps speeds.

Key Features

• Converts 10/100BASE-TX copper Ethernet to fiber optic via SFP module slot
• Industrial-grade design suited for harsh or high-EMI environments
• Mini form factor for installation in compact or space-constrained locations
• SFP slot supports interchangeable fiber modules for flexible reach and wavelength selection
• Provides electrical isolation between copper and fiber network segments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit industrial media converter for 10/100BASE-TX to fiber conversion applications using SFP-based fiber modules.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by network technicians or industrial controls specialists. Power down the affected network segment before connecting or disconnecting the unit. Ensure the selected SFP module is rated for the fiber type and distance of the run before insertion. Follow applicable local electrical codes and manufacturer guidelines for industrial Ethernet equipment when mounting in control panels or enclosures.
