Introduction 

The M/GE-PSW Series is a Gigabit Ethernet stand-alone Mini media converter that provides cost 
effective media conversion between 10/100/1000Base-T ports and 1000Base-SX/LX ports. With its fixed 
configuration, deployments are just plug-and-play, and its small size makes it ideal for locations where 
space is limited. Operating at Layer 2, the data link layer, this converter not only converts copper to 
fiber, it also provides rate conversion allowing legacy 10/100 copper devices to connect to 1000Base-
SX/LX fiber.
