Perle 05061160 media converter module

The Perle 05061160 is a Fast Ethernet fiber-to-fiber media converter module. It links 100BASE-FX multimode fibre at 1310 nm with a reach of 1.2 miles to a 100Base-BX single-strand single-mode link at 1550 nm TX and 1310 nm RX extending to 12.4 miles. Network engineers use it to bridge different fibre types in campus or metro installations.

Compatibility checklist before ordering

Confirm that your chassis accepts Perle C-series converter modules and provides an available slot. Verify that the multimode side uses SC connectors operating at 1310 nm and that the single-mode side uses a single SC strand with 1550 nm transmit and 1310 nm receive wavelengths. Ensure the link budget covers 2 km on the multimode segment and 20 km on the single-mode segment.

Thermals noise and power in normal use

The module is a passive optoelectronic device with no moving parts, so it produces no audible noise. Power draw is limited to the low milliwatt levels typical for 100 Mbps transceivers and is supplied by the host chassis. Operating temperature follows the chassis specification; no separate cooling is required beyond normal rack airflow.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the C-100Mm-S1Sc20D and do I need to buy cables separately?

The module itself is supplied; SC patch cords for the 1310 nm multimode and 1550 nm single-mode links are not included and must be purchased separately.

How do I choose between the multimode and single-mode versions of this converter?

This single unit handles both sides — it converts a 100BASE-FX 1310 nm multimode signal up to 1.2 miles to a 100Base-BX 1550 nm TX / 1310 nm RX single-strand single-mode link up to 12.4 miles.

What does the 20 km single-mode distance mean when the converter is installed in a live network?

It guarantees a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet link over one single-mode fibre strand at 1550 nm TX and 1310 nm RX for up to 20 km / 12.4 miles, provided the far-end device uses the matching wavelengths.
