Perle CM-110-S1ST20U 10/100 Media Converter Module Managed

Perle CM-110-S1ST20U Managed Media Converter Module

The Perle CM-110-S1ST20U is a managed media converter module designed for network infrastructure. It bridges copper and fibre segments using 10/100Base-T and 100Base-BX-U network technologies. This new module provides a single conversion point for extending Ethernet connections over single-strand fibre links. Administrators gain management oversight for the conversion layer.

Suits managed fibre-to-copper links at 100 Mbps

Network teams needing a managed module to convert 10/100 copper to 100Base-BX-U single-strand fibre will find this unit appropriate. It fits chassis-based deployments where remote configuration and monitoring of the media conversion layer are required. Buyers who need gigabit or multi-gigabit conversion rates should look at other products. Environments requiring unmanaged plug-and-play operation without management features are not the target use case.

Single-strand 100Base-BX-U fibre interface

The decisive specification is the 100Base-BX-U network technology, which defines single-strand fibre transmission at 100 Mbps. This wavelength-specific interface must match the companion module at the far end for a working link. The module also presents a 10/100Base-T copper port for the local segment. Verify that the existing fibre plant and partner module support the BX-U wavelength pair before purchasing.
