Transition Networks M/GE-PSW-LX-01-NA 10/100/1000BTX to 1000BX SM SC 10KM Media Converter
Overview
The Transition Networks M/GE-PSW-LX-01-NA is a compact media converter designed to bridge the gap between copper Ethernet and single-mode fiber optic cabling. This device is essential for extending network reach beyond the limitations of standard Ethernet, enabling connections over longer distances, up to 10 kilometers. It's particularly useful in surveillance deployments where cameras are situated far from the network closet, or in industrial environments requiring robust, long-range data transmission. The M/GE-PSW-LX-01-NA converts 10/100/1000Base-T copper signals to 1000Base-BX single-mode fiber signals using an SC connector, facilitating integration into existing fiber infrastructure.
Compatibility
This media converter is designed to interface with standard 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports found on network switches, IP cameras, and other network devices. It utilizes an SC connector for single-mode fiber, compatible with 9/125µm fiber optic cable. The 1000Base-BX standard implies a specific wavelength pairing for transmission and reception, ensuring compatibility with other 1000Base-BX compliant fiber transceivers operating at the corresponding wavelengths. It is suitable for use with network equipment from various manufacturers that adhere to IEEE 802.3ab (Gigabit Ethernet over copper) and IEEE 802.3ah (Ethernet in the First Mile - for 1000Base-BX) standards.
Installation Notes
The M/GE-PSW-LX-01-NA operates on a 3.3V power supply, typically provided by the host chassis or a compatible power adapter (sold separately). Ensure correct polarity and voltage before connecting power. The SC connector requires a simple push-and-latch connection for the fiber optic cable. Verify that the single-mode fiber cable is clean and free from damage prior to connection to ensure optimal signal integrity and achieve the full 10km transmission distance. Incorrect fiber type (e.g., multimode) or damaged connectors will prevent operation or significantly degrade performance.
