Transition Networks M/GE-ISW-SX-01 Gigabit Media Converter

Product Description

The TRANSITION NETWORKS M/GE-ISW-SX-01 is a gigabit media converter that bridges copper 10/100/1000BASE-TX networks to SC-connector multimode fiber. It supports auto-negotiating 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps copper connections and converts the signal for transmission over multimode fiber optic cable via an SC duplex interface. This unit is used in network infrastructure deployments where copper-based equipment must connect to a fiber segment, extending reach and providing electrical isolation between network nodes. Installation is typically performed by licensed network technicians or low-voltage cabling professionals.

This media converter is suited for enterprise LAN, industrial, and commercial network environments where a transition between copper UTP and multimode fiber cabling is required. Typical scenarios include connecting a copper-port switch or server to a fiber backbone, or extending network runs beyond the 328-foot distance limitation of copper Ethernet. The SC multimode interface makes it compatible with standard 50/125 or 62.5/125 multimode fiber patch cables commonly found in structured cabling installations.

Key Features

• Supports 10/100/1000BASE-TX copper input with auto-negotiation
• SC duplex multimode fiber output for standard fiber infrastructure
• Extends network reach beyond copper Ethernet distance limits
• Provides electrical isolation between copper and fiber network segments
• Compact single-unit form factor, sold individually

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install media converter for network segments requiring 10/100/1000BASE-TX copper to SC multimode fiber conversion in structured cabling environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or network cabling technician in accordance with applicable TIA/EIA structured cabling standards and local electrical codes. Power down or disconnect the host switch port before connecting or disconnecting the converter to avoid interface damage. Use appropriately rated multimode fiber patch cables and verify fiber connector cleanliness before mating SC connectors. Do not attempt to connect this unit to single-mode fiber infrastructure without confirming optical specifications.
