Transition Networks M/E-PSW-FX-02-NA Media Converter

Product Description

The TRANSITION NETWORKS M/E-PSW-FX-02-NA is a mini standalone bridging media converter designed to extend or interconnect network segments by converting between 10/100 copper Ethernet and fiber optic media. This type of unit handles signal translation at the physical layer, allowing legacy or distance-limited copper runs to bridge onto fiber infrastructure. It ships as a single unit and is sized for compact, space-efficient deployment in telecom closets, equipment racks, or edge locations. Network technicians and low-voltage installers typically deploy this converter where copper-to-fiber transition is required without a managed switch.

This media converter suits commercial and light industrial network installations where 10/100 Ethernet segments need to bridge across fiber links. Typical scenarios include connecting workgroup switches to fiber backbone runs, extending network reach beyond standard copper distance limits, or integrating older copper-based equipment into a fiber plant. It operates as a standalone device, requiring no host chassis, which simplifies single-drop installations in distributed environments.

Key Features

• Supports 10/100 Mbps Ethernet bridging between copper and fiber media
• Mini standalone form factor for flexible, chassis-free deployment
• Physical-layer media conversion with no managed configuration required
• Single-unit packaging for individual port conversions or small deployments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style standalone media converter for 10/100 Ethernet copper-to-fiber bridging applications in commercial network infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage network technician or qualified IT infrastructure professional. Power down or disconnect the network segment before connecting or removing fiber and copper patch cables. Follow TIA-568 and applicable local codes for structured cabling and fiber termination. Do not bend fiber cables beyond the minimum bend radius specified for the fiber type in use.
