Transition Networks M/GE-T-SX-01-NA Mini 1000BaseT to 1000BaseSX SC MM Fiber Media Converter
Overview
The Transition Networks M/GE-T-SX-01-NA is a compact media converter designed to bridge the gap between copper Ethernet and multi-mode fiber optic cabling. This device is critical for extending network reach beyond the standard 100-meter Ethernet limitation, enabling connections in environments where fiber infrastructure is already in place or required for longer distances. It's particularly useful for connecting surveillance cameras, access control panels, or other network devices located far from the main network closet or switch, ensuring reliable data transmission over distances up to 550 meters.
Compatibility
This media converter is designed to interface with standard 1000BaseT (Gigabit Ethernet over copper) equipment and 1000BaseSX (Gigabit Ethernet over multi-mode fiber) infrastructure. It is compatible with any network switch or device that provides a standard RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet port and requires a multi-mode fiber connection with an SC connector. It functions as a transparent bridge, meaning it does not require specific software or driver installation and works with any network operating system.
Installation Notes
The M/GE-T-SX-01-NA operates on a 3.3V power supply, typically provided by the host switch or an external power adapter (sold separately). The unit features an SC connector for the multi-mode fiber port and an RJ-45 connector for the copper Ethernet port. Ensure the fiber optic patch cable used is multi-mode and terminated with SC connectors. The maximum transmission distance is 550 meters.
