Transition Networks N-GXE-ST-02 Gigabit PCIe Network Adapter
Overview
The Transition Networks N-GXE-ST-02 is a 1 Gbps Ethernet media converter designed to extend network connectivity over multimode fiber optic cable. This device is critical for bridging the gap between copper Ethernet infrastructure and fiber optic networks, enabling data transmission over longer distances than standard Ethernet cables allow. It's particularly useful in industrial or campus environments where network runs exceed the 100-meter limit of twisted-pair copper cabling. The N-GXE-ST-02 model provides a single Gigabit Ethernet port that converts to a multimode fiber connection, supporting distances up to 550 meters.
Compatibility
This media converter is designed to interface with standard Gigabit Ethernet equipment. It is compatible with network switches, routers, and end devices that support 1000Base-T copper Ethernet connections. The fiber optic port is an SC connector, suitable for integration with multimode fiber infrastructure commonly found in enterprise and industrial settings. It functions as a transparent bridge, meaning it does not require specific software drivers or complex configuration for operation with most network devices.
Installation Notes
The N-GXE-ST-02 requires a power source (sold separately) to operate. It features a compact form factor for easy deployment in network closets or industrial enclosures. Ensure the correct type of multimode fiber (e.g., OM2, OM3, OM4) is used to achieve the maximum specified distance of 550 meters. The SC connector on the fiber port requires standard fiber optic termination and handling practices.
