Media Converter Mount

The Perle CM-100-S1SC20D is a media converter module designed for network infrastructure. It bridges copper and fibre connections in managed or unmanaged configurations. This unit suits IT teams extending LAN links over long distances.

Suits managed or unmanaged fibre links

Network operators needing single-strand single-mode fibre up to 20 km will find this module appropriate. Buyers requiring multi-mode fibre, different wavelengths or copper-only connectivity should look at other solutions. The SC connector format limits use to compatible patch panels.

Sustained link behaviour

The converter maintains a 100Base-BX connection at 1550 nm transmit and 1310 nm receive wavelengths over 20 km. Managed operation allows continuous monitoring and configuration without interrupting the data path. The RJ-45 port supports 100 m copper segments for local equipment.

Questions about this item

What network speed and connector does my switch need for the RJ-45 side of the CM-100-S1SC20D?

The copper port is 100Base-TX using an RJ-45 connector, so your switch must provide a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet link on that interface.

Can I keep my existing 100Base-FX multi-mode fiber gear and connect it to the single-strand SC port on this converter?

No, the CM-100-S1SC20D uses 100Base-BX single-mode fiber with 1550 nm TX and 1310 nm RX wavelengths over one strand, which is incompatible with multi-mode 100Base-FX links.

How do I confirm the fiber link is operating at the rated 20 km distance after installation?

Check the management interface for a healthy link status, verify the RX optical power is within the receiver sensitivity range, and ensure the fiber path loss matches the 20 km single-mode budget.
