Perle CM-100MM-S2LC40 Fiber Media Converter Mount
A managed Fast Ethernet fiber-to-fiber converter module linking 100BASE-FX multimode up to 1.2 miles with 100Base-EX single-mode up to 24.9 miles, both at 1310 nm
- TypeData & Communication
- Converts multimode to single-mode fiber up to 40 km
- Extends 100BASE-FX links to 24.9 miles over single-mode
- Operates at 1310 nm wavelength for both fiber types
- Supports managed or unmanaged network configurations
- LC connectors on both multimode and single-mode ports
Managed Fast Ethernet Media Converter
The Perle CM-100MM-S2LC40 is a managed Fast Ethernet fiber-to-fiber converter module. It translates signals between 100BASE-FX 1310nm multimode and 100Base-EX 1310nm single-mode interfaces using LC connectors. Network engineers can operate the unit in managed or unmanaged mode depending on infrastructure requirements.
Multimode to Single-Mode Distance Limits
The multimode port supports links up to 2 km or 1.2 miles, while the single-mode port extends reach to 40 km or 24.9 miles. Both interfaces operate at a 1310nm wavelength. These fixed optical budgets define the practical deployment range for campus or metro network segments.
100 Mbps Fixed Throughput Constraint
The converter operates at a fixed 100 Mbps line rate with no support for Gigabit or higher speeds. Buyers needing 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps fiber conversion must select a different module. This unit suits legacy Fast Ethernet links where bandwidth demand remains at 100 Mbps.
