TRANSITION Networks E-PSW-SX-01 series two-port bridging media
converter 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.

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.

E-PSW-SX-01(SC) 
Provides an RJ-45 twisted-pair
connector to UTP/STP copper
cable and an RX (receive) and TX
