Stand-Alone Media Converters
• Copper to Fiber
• 10/100/1000Base-T to 1000Base-X
The miniature plug-and-play M/GE-PSW-xX-01, 2port Ethernet/Fast Ethernet bridging media
converters allow integrating fiber optic cable to
10/100/1000 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) environments while providing a spacesaving alternative to traditional sized media converters.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Always observe the following ESD precautions when installing or handing the
M/GE-PSW-xX-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.

Connect the fiber cable
Full duplex (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 1000Base-X fiber cable with male,
two-stranded TX to RX connectors installed at both ends.
2. Connect the fiber cable to the M/GE-PSW-xX-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.
1. Locate or build IEEE 803.2™ compliant 10/100/1000Base-T cables with RJ45 connectors installed at both ends.
2. Connect the RJ-45 connector at one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port on the
M/GE-PSW-xX-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.).

Powering the media converter
The M/GE-PSW-xX-01 media converter is powered by using a DC power adapter
through the barrel connector on its rear panel, as shown below.

AC power
1. Connect the barrel connector of the power adapter to the media converter’s
power port (located on the back panel of the media converter).
2. Connect the power adapter plug to AC power.
3. Verify that the media converter is powered up by observing the illuminated
LED power indicator light on the front panel.
DC power
Consult the user’s guide for the Transition Networks SPS-1872-SA DC external
power supply for powering the media converter.
