Perle SMI-100-M2LC2 Media Converter Mount

The Perle SMI-100-M2LC2 is a mounting accessory designed for the Perle SMI-100 managed Fast Ethernet media converter. It secures the converter in equipment racks or on surfaces for network infrastructure builds. Installers handling copper-to-fibre links in enterprise or campus environments will use this mount.

Mount for 100BASE-TX to 100BASE-FX converters

This mount replaces makeshift brackets or shelf placement when deploying the SMI-100 converter that bridges 100BASE-TX RJ-45 links up to 100 m or 328 ft to 100BASE-FX 1310 nm multimode LC fibre up to 2 km or 1.2 miles. The upgrade is worth it when a managed converter requires a fixed, ventilated position in a cabinet.

Check converter model and rack space

Verify you are installing the exact Perle SMI-100 managed media converter with part reference 5070324 before ordering this mount. Confirm the target rack or enclosure has the correct hole pattern and clearance for the converter dimensions. Ensure the LC multimode fibre patch cables and RJ-45 copper runs are routed to the mounting location.

Questions about this item

What does the Perle SMI-100-M2LC2 mount require to install?

The mount is designed for the SMI-100-M2LC2 media converter. That unit uses a USA power cord and connects via 100BASE-TX RJ-45 and 100BASE-FX 1310 nm LC multimode interfaces. Ensure your rack or shelf has access to a compatible power outlet and cable routing for both copper and fibre links.

How is the media converter secured in the mount, and what step is often missed?

The converter sits in the mount and is held by its own chassis brackets. The step often missed is fully seating the LC duplex connector until the latch clicks and locking the RJ-45 tab, then verifying the 100 m copper and 2 km fibre link LEDs before tightening the mount screws.

What ongoing maintenance does the mounted converter need?

Inspect the LC ferrules and RJ-45 port for dust each time you re-patch; clean with a dry fibre swab and compressed air. Check that the USA power cord retains a firm mains connection and that the 1310 nm multimode path still reports a solid link over the 1.2 mile rated distance.
