Transition Networks M/GE-PSW-SFP-01-UTX-AR Sfp Media Converter

Product Description

The TRANSITION NETWORKS M/GE-PSW-SFP-01-UTX-AR is a managed media converter that bridges 10/100/1000BASE-TX copper Ethernet connections to a 1000BASE SFP fiber or copper uplink port. Designed for enterprise and industrial network infrastructure, this unit allows technicians to extend or convert network segments without replacing existing cabling plant. It fits into environments where copper-to-fiber or copper-to-SFP conversion is required at the edge of a switched network. Network installers and IT infrastructure technicians are the primary end users for this type of device.

This converter is suited for enterprise LAN environments, data centers, and campus network deployments where media conversion between copper Ethernet and SFP-based links is required. It supports auto-negotiation across 10/100/1000BASE-TX copper ports, making it adaptable to mixed-speed network segments. The SFP slot accepts field-selectable modules, giving installers flexibility to match the fiber type and distance requirements of the specific run.

Key Features

• Converts 10/100/1000BASE-TX copper to 1000BASE SFP interface
• SFP slot accepts interchangeable modules for fiber type and distance flexibility
• Managed device suitable for enterprise PoE and network infrastructure deployments
• Supports auto-negotiation on the copper TX port across 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps speeds
• Single-unit (EA) packaging for individual deployment or sparing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style managed media converter for enterprise network infrastructure applications requiring copper-to-SFP media conversion at the access or distribution layer.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified network technician familiar with structured cabling and managed network equipment. Power down or disconnect the unit from any power source before inserting or removing SFP modules. Follow the equipment manufacturer guidelines and applicable TIA/EIA cabling standards when terminating copper connections. Verify SFP module compatibility with the target fiber type and link distance before commissioning the link.
