Stand-Alone Media Converters
• Copper to Fiber
• 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX
The miniature, plug-and-play operation Mx/E-PSW-
FX-01 2-port Ethernet/Fast Ethernet bridging media
converters allow connecting 10Base-T Ethernet and/or 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet
twisted-pair copper network devices to network devices on a 100Base-FX Fast Ethernet
fiber network. Depending on the media converter, the end user has the choice of three
options for powering the converters: power adapter (shipped with converter), USB, or
“802.3af™ Power over Ethernet” (PoE) enabled device.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Always observe the following ESD precautions when installing or handing the
Mx/E-PSW-FX-01 media converter:
• Do not remove the converter from its protective packaging until you are ready to
install it.
• Wear an ESD wrist grounding strap before handling any module or component. If
you do not have a wrist strap, maintain grounded contact with the system unit
throughout any procedure requiring ESD protection.

Installation -- Continued
Connect the fiber cable
Full dupex (always ON) is on the fiber side only; therefore, the 512-Bit Rule does not
apply. The cable lengths are constrained by the cable requirement.
1. Locate or build IEEE 803.2™ compliant 100Base-FX fiber cable with male,
two-stranded TX to RX connectors installed at both ends.
2. Connect the fiber cable to the Mx/E-PSW-FX-01 media converters as follows:
• Connect the male TX cable connector to the female TX port.
• Connect the male RX cable connector to the female RX port.
3. Connect the fiber cable to the other device (another media converter, hub, etc.)
as follows:
• Connect the male TX cable connector to the female RX port.
• Connect the male RX cable connector to the female TX port.

Connect the twisted-pair copper cable
The AutoCross feature allows either MDI (straight-through) or MDI-X (crossover)
cable connections to be configured automatically, according to network conditions.
• If half-duplex mode is used, refer to the 512-Bit Rule.
• If full-duplex mode is used, the 512-Bit Rule does not apply. The cable
lengths are constrained by the cable requirements.
1. Locate or build IEEE 803.2™ compliant 10Base-T or 100Base-TX cables,
with RJ-45 connectors installed at both ends.
2. Connect the RJ-45 connector at one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port on the
Mx/E-PSW-FX-01 media converter.
3. Connect the RJ-45 connector at the other end of the cable to the RJ-45 port on
the other device (switch, workstation, etc.).

Power warnings
WARNING: If the media converter is an IEEE802.3-2005 Powered Device (PD)
capable of receiving power via the Media Dependent Interface (MDI) leads, the
power source, connector, and cables attached to the barrel power connector must
meet the isolation requirement specified in IEEE802.3-2005.
WARNING:
When powering the model MP/E-PSW-FX-01 via “Power over
Ethernet” only, a barrel cover (provided) must be installed on the back panel of the
converter for safety. Failure to observe this warning could result in an electrical
shock.
