Transition Networks M/GE-T-LX-01-NA Mini 1000BASET to 1000BASESX SC SM 10KM 3.3V W/NA

Overview

The Transition Networks M/GE-T-LX-01-NA is a compact media converter designed to bridge copper Ethernet (1000BASET) to single-mode fiber optic (1000BASESX) networks. This unit is essential for extending network reach beyond the 100-meter limitation of copper cabling, enabling connections up to 10 kilometers. Its small form factor and 3.3V power requirement make it suitable for deployments where space and power are constrained, such as within surveillance camera housings or compact network closets.

Compatibility

This media converter is designed to interface with standard 1000BASET Gigabit Ethernet ports found on network switches, routers, and end devices. On the fiber side, it connects to 1000BASESX Gigabit Ethernet fiber ports using an SC connector. It is compatible with single-mode fiber optic cable, supporting distances up to 10 kilometers. It is not designed for multi-mode fiber applications.

Installation Notes

Requires a 3.3V power source, typically provided by a compatible chassis or a dedicated power adapter (sold separately). Ensure the correct polarity when connecting power. The SC connector requires standard fiber optic handling procedures to avoid contamination or damage to the fiber end-face. Use only single-mode fiber optic patch cords rated for the appropriate wavelength (typically 1310nm for SX variants).
