  • TypeData & Communication
  • Converts copper to single-strand fibre at 100 Mbps
  • Extends network reach up to 40 km over single-mode fibre
  • Uses 1310 nm TX and 1550 nm RX wavelengths for bi-directional link
  • Supports managed or unmanaged operation for flexible deployment
  • RJ-45 port covers 100 m or 328 ft copper distance

Managed Fast Ethernet Media Converter Module

The Perle CM-100-S1SC40U converts 100Base-TX copper signals to single-strand single-mode fibre. It supports managed or unmanaged operation for flexible network integration. This module suits administrators extending LAN links over long distances.

Sustained link performance over 40 km

The converter maintains a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet connection across 40 kilometres or 24.9 miles of fibre. Single-strand SC connectivity uses 1310 nm TX and 1550 nm RX wavelengths for bidirectional traffic. Signal integrity holds under continuous load without the distance drop-off seen on copper runs limited to 100 metres or 328 feet.

Simple SC fibre installation

The module plugs into a compatible Perle chassis and connects via a standard SC simplex patch cord. Single-strand fibre reduces cabling bulk compared to duplex runs. The most common issue is mismatching TX and RX wavelengths between the two ends, which prevents the link from establishing.

Questions about this item

Does the CM-100-S1SC40U generate noticeable heat or fan noise when running continuously in a rack?

The CM-100-S1SC40U is a passive media converter module with no moving parts, so it produces no fan noise and minimal heat during 24/7 operation.

What existing network equipment is required to install and manage the CM-100-S1SC40U?

You need a compatible Perle chassis with an available slot, plus a management station or SNMP software if you plan to use the managed features of the CM-100-S1SC40U.

Will the CM-100-S1SC40U link with legacy 100Base-FX gear using SC connectors on the same fiber run?

The CM-100-S1SC40U uses single-strand 1310 nm TX / 1550 nm RX wavelengths, so it cannot directly interoperate with dual-strand 100Base-FX equipment on the same fiber pair.
