TRANSITION Networks E-PSW-SX-01 series two-port bridging media
converter segments 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX copper and 100BASE-SX fiber
Ethernet

™ collision domains to extend total network diameter, to reduce

network congestion, and to convert between legacy 10BASE-T and
100BASE-SX environments.

A four-position DIP switch located at the side of the media converter allows
site-selection of auto-negotiation, of 10MB/s or 100Mb/s speed, and of
full-duplex or half-duplex mode.

E-PSW-SX-01

Provides an RJ-45 twisted-pair
connector to UTP/STP copper
cable and a set of RX (receive)
and TX (transmit) ST 850nm
multimode fiber connectors.

E-PSW-SX-01(SC)

Provides an RJ-45 twisted-pair
connector to UTP/STP copper
cable and an RX (receive) and TX
(transmit) SC 850nm multimode
fiber connector.

THE E-PSW-SX-01 IN THE NETWORK ETHERNET CABLE SPECIFICATIONS

FIBER CABLE SPECIFICATIONS

The physical characteristics of the 100BASE-SX cable must meet or exceed the
100BASE-SX specifications.

100BASE-SX Cable Specifications

MULTIMODE

Fiber-optic Cable Recommended: 62.5 / 125 µm multimode fiber

Optional: 50 / 125 µm multimode fiber
Modal bandwidth: ≤160MHz-Km
Fiber-optic Transmitter Power: min: -20 dBm max: -12 dBm
Fiber-optic Receiver Sensitivity: min: -24 dBm max: -12 dBm
Wavelength: 850nM

Bit error rate: ≤2.5

Maximum Cable Distance: 300 meters

TWISTED-PAIR CABLE SPECIFICATIONS

The physical characteristics of 10BASE-T cable must meet or exceed IEEE 802.3
10BASE-T specifications. Though Category 3 cable is adequate for the 10BASE-T
installation, Category 5 cable is strongly recommended, since Category 3 cable
can NOT be used for a later upgrade to 100BASE-TX. DO NOT USE FLAT OR
SILVER SATIN WIRE.

The physical characteristics of 100BASE-TX cable must meet or exceed IEEE 802.3
100BASE-TX specifications. Category 5 cable or better is required. Either shielded
twisted pair (STP) or unshielded twisted pair (UTP) can be used. DO NOT USE
FLAT OR SILVER SATIN WIRE.

Category 3:

Gauge 24 to 22 AWG
Attenuation 6.5 dB/100’ @ 10 MHz
Differential Characteristic Impedance 100 Ω ±15%

Category 5:

Gauge 24 to 22 AWG
Attenuation 22 dB/100’ @ 100 MHz
Differential Characteristic Impedance 100 Ω ±15%

Maximum Cable Distance: 100 meters (330 feet)

RATE CONVERSION

The two-port Ethernet/Fast Ethernet bridging media
converter can provide rate conversion between terminal
devices on the 10BASE-T copper legacy Ethernet
network and terminal devices on the 100BASE-SX fiber
Fast Ethernet network.

DISTANCE EXTENSION

The two-port Ethernet/Fast Ethernet bridging
media converter can extend half-duplex
network distances by dividing CSMA/CD
collision domains.

The two-port Ethernet/Fast Ethernet bridging
media converter also can enable connection of
twisted pair to fiber cabling in a full-duplex Fast
Ethernet environment.
