The ComNet CWGE2SFP Ethernet media converter series are one-channel Ethernet
electrical to optical media converters. These auto-negotiating devices accept a
10/100/1000 Mbps electrical input and convert this to a 1000 Mbps optical output.
These devices use either one or two optical fibers, depending upon the selection of
either included or sold-separately SFP optical module. These devices can be used in
stand-alone mode or can be installed within the ComNet CWCHASSIS 19 inch rack.

The CWGE2SFP series gives you maximum flexibility with its empty SFP slot supporting any of the
ComNet 1 Gbps SFP modules offering options for different connector types and distances up to 120
kilometers. The CWGE2SFP module provides you with one SFP fiber port for your fiber optic cable
