1. Introduction
The 1000BASE-T to 1000BASE-SX/LX media converter series provides
1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet copper-to-fiber media conversion, allowing
for 1000Base-T-1000Base-X over multimode or optional single-mode fi-
ber optical media.
Because of 802.3af compliance, the converters can draw the power via
Cat.5 cable connected to a PoE PSE switch or mis-span injector in addi-
tion to being powered by typical external power adapter,. This feature
makes the converter ideal for remote areas of a network without AC
power outlets.
