Perle CM-100MM-S1SC20U Media Converter Module
This module converts Fast Ethernet signals between multimode and single-mode fibre. It links a 100BASE-FX 1310 nm multimode SC interface up to 1.2 miles with a 100Base-BX single-strand SC interface up to 12.4 miles. Network engineers use it to extend 100 Mbps links across different fibre plants. It supports managed or unmanaged operation for flexible deployment.
Passive module thermals and power
The unit draws power from the host chassis and has no internal fan. It adds negligible heat to the rack and operates silently. Power consumption is handled by the media converter shelf, so no separate supply is required. This keeps the installation simple and the noise floor at zero.
Chassis slot requirement and fibre reach
The converter fits a single slot in a Perle Media Converter Chassis. It frees up a multimode port by bridging to a single-mode single-strand link. The 1310 nm TX and 1550 nm RX wavelengths allow bidirectional traffic over one fibre core. Buyers who need dual-strand connectivity or faster Ethernet speeds must choose a different module.

Questions about this item
How do I install the CM-100MM-S1SC20U module into the chassis, and what step is often missed?
Slide the module into an available slot until the connector seats firmly, then tighten the captive retention screw; the step often missed is securing that screw, which prevents the module from working loose over time.
What maintenance or replacement will the CM-100MM-S1SC20U need later?
The module itself has no user-serviceable parts; maintenance is limited to inspecting and cleaning the SC fibre connectors with approved tools, and replacing the patch cords if the 1310 nm or 1550 nm links show excessive loss.
What limit appears first on the CM-100MM-S1SC20U during sustained traffic?
The 100BASE-FX / 100Base-BX line rate of 100 Mbps is the first bottleneck; sustained loads that exceed this throughput will queue or drop frames before any thermal or power limit is reached.
