Fast Ethernet Fiber Media Converter
The Perle 05061070 C-100Mm-S2St40 is a fiber-to-fiber media converter module designed for Fast Ethernet networks. It translates signals between multimode and single-mode fiber using ST connectors. Network engineers use it to extend link distances across different fiber types.
Suits multimode-to-single-mode links
This module suits installers who need to connect 100BASE-FX multimode equipment to 100Base-EX single-mode infrastructure. It is not for networks running at Gigabit or 10 Gigabit speeds. Buyers who need LC or SC connectors, or wavelengths other than 1310nm, should look at other models.
100BASE-FX to 100Base-EX conversion
The converter bridges 100BASE-FX 1310nm multimode fiber with a 2 km reach to 100Base-EX 1310nm single-mode fiber with a 40 km reach. Both sides use ST connectors. This specific multimode-to-single-mode translation at Fast Ethernet speed is the specification that determines compatibility.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the multimode or single-mode side for my link?
The module converts 100BASE-FX 1310 nm multimode ST up to 1.2 miles to 100Base-EX 1310 nm single-mode ST up to 24.9 miles, so match the fiber type at each end.
What does the 100 Mbps rate mean once the converter is installed?
It provides a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet bridge between multimode and single-mode fiber segments without changing the Ethernet frame.
Which connector standard does the ST interface use and what distance does it support?
Both sides use ST connectors; the multimode side reaches 2 km and the single-mode side reaches 40 km at 1310 nm.
