Perle CM-100-S2SC20 media converter module

The Perle CM-100-S2SC20 is a managed Fast Ethernet media converter module designed for network integration. It bridges 100BASE-TX copper links to 100Base-LX single-mode fibre connections. The module supports managed or unmanaged operation modes for flexible deployment. It suits administrators extending LAN segments over long-distance fibre runs.

Verify copper and fibre port compatibility before

Confirm the existing switch or router provides a 100BASE-TX RJ-45 interface operating at 100 m or 328 ft maximum distance. Ensure the fibre infrastructure uses 1310 nm single-mode cable with SC connectors rated for 20 km or 12.4 miles. Check that the management platform can recognise the module if managed features are required. Mismatched wavelength or connector types will prevent link establishment.

Passive module relies on host chassis for cooling

The unit draws power from the host chassis and has no internal fan, so acoustics depend entirely on the enclosure airflow. Normal operation adds minimal thermal load to the chassis environment. Power consumption is governed by the host system specifications rather than a dedicated supply. Ensure the chassis ventilation meets the vendor guidelines for continuous operation.

Questions about this item

Does the CM-100-S2SC20 mount include the media converter module or must it be purchased separately?

The CM-100-S2SC20 is a mounting accessory only; the 100BASE-TX to 100Base-LX media converter module is sold separately.

Should I choose the single-mode SC version or is a multi-mode option available for this mount?

This mount is designed for the 1310 nm single-mode SC model with a 20 km reach; no multi-mode variant is listed.

What does the 20 km distance rating mean when the converter is installed in this mount?

It indicates the single-mode fibre link can span up to 20 km (12.4 miles) at 100 Mbps when the module is mounted and connected.
