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.
