Media Converter for Mixed Fibre Links
The Perle S-100Mm-S2Sc20 bridges 100BASE-FX multimode and 100Base-LX single-mode fibre. It connects 1310 nm SC interfaces across different cable types in campus or metro networks. Network engineers use it to extend legacy multimode runs onto longer single-mode spans without replacing endpoint equipment.
Sustained Line-Rate Conversion
The unit converts traffic at 100 Mbps continuously with no store-and-forward buffering that would add latency under load. It maintains the 1310 nm wavelength on both ports, preserving link budget across the 2 km multimode and 20 km single-mode distances. Performance stays consistent during prolonged peak utilisation because the ASIC handles full wire-speed translation.
Passive Cooling and Standard Power
The converter operates without fans, relying on a vented metal enclosure for silent heat dissipation in racks or wall mounts. It draws power from the included USA cord and runs within typical commercial temperature ranges. Low power consumption keeps rack density high and eliminates the noise associated with active cooling in quiet office or data-room environments.

Questions about this item
Does the Perle S-100Mm-S2Sc20 media converter generate much heat or noise when running continuously?
The unit is a passive fiber-to-fiber media converter with no moving parts, so it operates silently and produces minimal heat during all-day use.
What cables or connectors must I already have to install this converter?
You need two SC-terminated fiber patch cords — one multimode for the 2 km side and one single-mode for the 20 km side — both operating at 1310 nm.
Will this converter work alongside my existing 100BASE-FX multimode equipment?
Yes, the multimode port supports 100BASE-FX at 1310 nm over 2 km, matching legacy Fast Ethernet fiber gear directly.
