Media converter mount for single-strand fiber
The Perle C-110-S1Sc40D media converter mount connects a 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 port to a 100Base-BX single-mode SC fiber interface. It is designed for network installers who need to extend copper Ethernet links over long-distance fiber runs. The module handles the media and rate conversion between the two interfaces in a compact form factor. It suits environments where copper cabling cannot reach the required distance.
Distance limits of the 100Base-BX single-mode link
The single-strand fiber connection operates at 1550 nm transmit and 1310 nm receive wavelengths over single-mode cable with an SC connector. The optical budget supports a maximum reach of 40 km or 24.9 miles. The copper RJ-45 side is limited to 100 m or 328 ft per 10/100Base-TX specifications. Maximum Ethernet frame size is 2048 bytes. These fixed distances define the practical deployment envelope for the converter.
Capacity for campus and metro fiber extensions
The converter comfortably handles building-to-building links, campus backbone segments and metro-access circuits within the 40 km single-mode range. It runs out when the fiber path exceeds the rated distance or when the application demands gigabit throughput, jumbo frames beyond 2048 bytes or multi-strand fiber connectivity. The 10/100Base-TX electrical interface also caps bandwidth at 100 Mbps full duplex.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the SC single-strand version or a dual-strand model for my 40 km link?
This module uses a single SC connector with 1550 nm TX and 1310 nm RX wavelengths, so one fibre strand carries both directions up to 40 km.
What does the 10/100Base-TX rating mean for actual throughput on my copper side?
The RJ-45 port negotiates at 10 or 100 Mbps full-duplex, giving you up to 100 Mbps wire speed over 100 m of copper cable.
How does the single-fibre BX interface affect the maximum distance I can run?
The 1550 nm TX / 1310 nm RX single-strand design is specified for 40 km over single-mode fibre with a standard SC connector.
