TRANSITION Networks C/E-PSW-SX-01 series two-port bridging media
converter, designed to be installed in the TRANSITION Networks Media
Conversion Center, E-MCC-1600, segments 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX copper
and 100BASE-SX fiber Ethernet™ collision domains to extend total network
diameter, to reduce network congestion, and to convert between legacy
10BASE-T and 100BASE-SX environments. 

A four-position DIP switch located at the side of the media converter allows site-
selection of auto-negotiation, of 10MB/s or 100Mb/s speed, and of full-duplex or
half-duplex mode.

C/E-PSW-SX-01 
Provides an RJ-45 twisted-pair
connector to UTP/STP copper cable
and a set of RX (receive) and TX
(transmit) ST 850nm multimode
fiber connectors.

C/E-PSW-SX-01(SC) 
Provides an RJ-45 twisted-pair
connector to UTP/STP copper
cable and an RX (receive) and TX
(transmit) SC 850nm multimode
fiber connector.
