Fast Ethernet media converter

The Perle 05040934 converts signals between 10/100Base-TX copper and 100Base-BX single-strand fibre. It is built for network engineers extending legacy Fast Ethernet links over longer distances.

Single-strand fibre constraint

The 100Base-BX interface uses one fibre strand for both transmit and receive, so the link budget and wavelength pairing must match the remote device exactly. Mismatched optics will prevent the link from coming up.

Wavelength pairing

Selecting the correct TX and RX wavelength combination is the single specification that decides whether this converter will interoperate with the existing fibre infrastructure.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 10/100Base-TX or 100Base-BX version?

This single unit combines both interfaces: the copper port handles 10 or 100 Mbps twisted-pair links, while the SC fibre port runs 100 Mbps single-strand BX.

What does the 100 Mbps headline speed deliver in a live network?

It provides a full-duplex 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet path over fibre, extending the segment well beyond the 100 m copper limit.

Which fibre standard does the SC connector use and what distance does it support?

The SC port follows the 100Base-BX single-fibre bidirectional standard; reach depends on the specific BX optics fitted.
