Perle Fast Ethernet Media Converter

The Perle C-100-M1SC2D is a media converter module designed for network technicians who need to bridge copper and fibre links at Fast Ethernet speeds. It supports 10/100Base-TX on the copper side and 100Base-BX single-fibre transmission on the optical side. This module fits compatible Perle chassis systems to extend network reach over fibre infrastructure.

Speed and distance limits of 100Base-BX

The 100Base-BX standard caps throughput at 100 Mbps and uses wavelength-division multiplexing on a single fibre strand. Distance is constrained by the optics fitted to the module and the link budget of the specific single-fibre pair deployed. The copper 10/100Base-TX port remains limited to 100 metres over Category 5 or better cabling.

Installation notes and common issues

The module slides into a powered Perle chassis slot and requires no software configuration for basic operation. Mismatched TX and RX wavelengths between paired modules will prevent the link from coming up. Verify that the single-fibre patch cord matches the module connector polish and that the chassis power budget covers all installed modules.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 10/100Base-TX or the 100Base-BX version for my network?

The module supports both 10/100Base-TX copper and 100Base-BX fibre interfaces simultaneously; you do not select between them, the converter handles both sides of the link.

What does the 100 Mbps headline speed deliver in a live installation?

It provides a full-duplex 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet connection over single-mode fibre with SC connectors, extending the link well beyond copper distance limits.

How does the SC single-mode fibre interface limit the link in practice?

The SC single-mode port caps the fibre segment at 100 Mbps full-duplex while allowing distances far greater than the 100 m copper maximum.
