The Transition Networks M/GE-PSW-SFP-01-NA is a compact media converter designed for IT environments requiring conversion between copper and fiber optic network segments. This device facilitates the integration of Gigabit Ethernet copper cabling (10/100/1000BASE-T) with fiber optic connections (100/1000BASE-X) using SFP modules. It is suitable for businesses that need to extend network reach beyond copper's limitations or connect disparate network equipment, such as linking a copper-based switch to a fiber backbone or a remote fiber-connected device. The converter addresses challenges in network infrastructure where different media types coexist, providing a practical solution for maintaining connectivity and optimizing network architecture without replacing existing hardware. It is intended for network administrators and IT professionals managing mixed-media networks.
This media converter supports 10/100/1000 BASE-T copper connections and 100/1000 BASE-X fiber optic connections via an SFP port.
The product includes the mini SFP media converter and a North American (NA) power supply.
Yes, this converter can extend a Gigabit Ethernet network by converting the copper signal to a fiber optic signal, allowing for longer distances than standard copper cabling.
The product description indicates it is a 'MINI SFP MEDIA CONVERTER', implying the SFP module itself is a separate purchase and not included with the unit.
