Perle 05051300 C-100-S1Sc40D Media Converter

SKU CH-QAH9-EX3WJ

Converts 100Base-TX copper to 100Base-BX single-strand fibre at 1550 nm TX and 1310 nm RX over 40 km

  • TypeData & Communication
  • Converts 100Base-TX copper to 100Base-BX single-strand fiber
  • Extends network reach up to 40 km over single-mode fiber
  • Uses 1550 nm TX and 1310 nm RX wavelengths for bi-directional data
  • Connects RJ-45 copper port to SC fiber connector
  • Supports Fast Ethernet 100 Mbps speeds over 100 m copper distance

Single-Strand Fibre Converter

The Perle C-100-S1Sc40D converts a 100Base-TX copper link to a single-mode 100Base-BX fibre connection using one SC strand. It supports 1550 nm transmit and 1310 nm receive wavelengths for bidirectional traffic. Network engineers use it to extend Fast Ethernet segments beyond copper distance limits.

Sustained Link Behaviour

The module maintains a continuous 100 Mbps full-duplex stream over fibre up to 40 km or 24.9 miles without signal regeneration. Copper side reaches 100 m or 328 ft at wire speed. No buffering or rate-shaping is applied, so latency stays deterministic under constant load.

Distance-Deciding Specification

The 40 km single-mode reach is the parameter that determines suitability for a given campus or metro span. Shorter runs work identically, but longer paths require a different converter or intermediate amplification. Buyers needing multi-mode fibre or dual-strand connectors cannot use this module.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 05051300 generate when running 24/7?

The module operates without a fan, so it adds minimal heat to a rack or enclosure during continuous use.

What fiber patch cord do I need for the SC single-strand port?

A single-mode SC simplex patch cord rated for 1310 nm receive and 1550 nm transmit wavelengths will connect directly to the converter.

Will the RJ-45 link negotiate with a legacy 10 Mbps hub?

The copper port is fixed at 100Base-TX full-duplex, so it will not establish a link with 10Base-T equipment.
