Transition Networks MGEPSWPSE01NA media converter 10/100/1000Base-T PoE+ RJ-45 100/1000Base-X SFP

Compact PoE+ Media Converter

This Transition Networks MGEPSWPSE01NA converts between 10/100/1000Base-T copper and 100/1000Base-X fiber using an SFP slot. It operates at Layer 2 to provide rate conversion so legacy 10/100 devices can connect to Gigabit fiber links. As Power Sourcing Equipment it delivers PoE+ power over the RJ-45 port alongside data. The small stand-alone form factor suits installations where space is limited.

PoE+ Power and Fiber Flexibility

The RJ-45 port supplies up to 56 VDC to powered devices such as VoIP phones or security cameras while complying with IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at standards. Fiber reach and speed depend entirely on the SFP transceiver chosen, supporting either 100 or 1000 Mbps operation. Copper links auto-negotiate at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps. The converter has a single RJ-45 and one SFP slot, so it handles one PoE+ endpoint per unit.

Interface and Standard Limits

The copper interface is bound by the 100 m distance limit of twisted-pair cabling. Fiber distance is determined by the SFP module and cable type, not by the converter itself. PoE+ output follows the 802.3at power budget, so devices requiring higher wattage cannot be powered. The unit provides a single fiber uplink; it does not aggregate multiple links or provide switching beyond the single port conversion.
