Managed Fast Ethernet Media Converter Module

The Perle CM-100-S1SC40D converts 100Base-TX copper signals to single-strand single-mode fibre. It supports managed or unmanaged operation for flexible network deployment. The module bridges RJ-45 connections to 1550nm TX and 1310nm RX wavelengths over SC connectors. It is designed for extending Fast Ethernet links up to 40 km.

SC Single-Mode Fibre Interface

The single SC connector carries both transmit and receive wavelengths on one fibre strand. This reduces cabling requirements compared to dual-strand alternatives. The 1550nm TX and 1310nm RX pairing ensures bidirectional communication over the single link. Installers connect standard SC patch cords without specialised tooling.

40 km Single-Strand Reach

The converter achieves a 40 km transmission distance on single-mode fibre. This reach suits campus, metro or long-haul access networks. The 100Base-BX standard guarantees interoperability with compliant equipment at the far end. Buyers needing longer distances or multi-mode support must select a different module.

Questions about this item

What maximum distance does the 100Base-BX single-strand fiber link support?

The single-mode SC fiber connection reaches up to 40 km or 24.9 miles at 100 Mbps.

What physical connector and fiber type does the module require?

It uses an SC connector on single-mode fiber with 1550 nm TX and 1310 nm RX wavelengths.

How is the converter module installed in a CM-100 chassis?

Slide the module into an open bay until the latch clicks; the common error is stopping before the latch fully engages.
