Transition Networks M/GE-PSW-PSE-01-NA Poe Media Converter

Product Description

The TRANSITION NETWORKS M/GE-PSW-PSE-01-NA is a Power over Ethernet media converter designed to extend network connectivity by bridging 1 Gigabit Ethernet twisted pair copper cabling to a fiber optic segment. It functions as a PoE power sourcing equipment (PSE) device, supplying power to connected PoE-compatible endpoints while simultaneously passing data across the media boundary. Network technicians and low-voltage installers deploy this converter where copper runs reach their distance limits or where electrical isolation between network segments is required. The unit ships as a single converter in an each (EA) unit of measure.

This media converter is suited for commercial and enterprise network installations where a transition from copper twisted pair to fiber is needed without replacing existing switching infrastructure. Typical scenarios include connecting IP cameras, VoIP phones, or wireless access points at remote locations via fiber backbone runs. It is categorized as a media converter and is appropriate for structured cabling environments where PoE-powered edge devices must be served across a fiber link.

Key Features

• PoE PSE functionality supplies power to downstream PoE-compatible devices over the copper twisted pair port
• 1 Gigabit Ethernet copper interface supports standard twisted pair cabling
• Media conversion between copper and fiber extends reach beyond standard copper distance limits
• Single-unit packaging allows straightforward deployment in distributed network closets or enclosures

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style media converter for 1 Gigabit Ethernet networks requiring a copper twisted pair to fiber transition with PoE power sourcing capability.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage or network cabling technicians. Power down or disconnect the network switch port before connecting the converter to avoid unintended PoE activation on live equipment. Follow applicable structured cabling standards and local low-voltage codes during fiber and copper termination. Verify that connected PoE endpoints are compatible with the converter output before powering the segment.
