Managed Fast Ethernet Media Converter

The Perle SMI-100-S1SC20D converts 100BASE-TX copper signals to 100BASE-BX single-fiber single-mode links. It bridges RJ-45 connections up to 100 metres with SC single-mode fibre spans up to 20 kilometres. The unit operates at 1550 nm transmit and 1310 nm receive wavelengths for bidirectional traffic on one strand. It is built for managed network deployments needing long-distance fibre extension.

Installation notes

The converter uses standard RJ-45 and SC connectors that match common patch cords. A USA power cord is included for immediate mains connection. Managed features require configuration through the device interface before the link passes traffic. The most common issue is mismatched TX and RX wavelengths between the two endpoints, which prevents the link from coming up.

Suitable applications

This model suits integrators extending Fast Ethernet over single-mode fibre where only one strand is available. It fits managed environments that need remote monitoring and configuration. Buyers who need Gigabit or 10 Gigabit speeds should look at higher-rate converters. Teams without fibre termination tools or single-mode patch cords will need additional supplies before deployment.

Highlights

Questions about this item

How can I verify the 100BASE-BX link is working after I connect the SC single-fiber cable?

The converter provides LED indicators for power, copper link and fiber link so you can confirm the 1550 nm TX and 1310 nm RX path is active up to 20 km.

What comes in the box and what must I supply separately?

The package includes the media converter and a USA power cord; you must provide the SC single-mode patch cord and the RJ-45 copper cable for the 100 m segment.

Which wavelength pairing should I choose for a 20 km single-fiber run?

This model uses 1550 nm transmit and 1310 nm receive; select the matching unit with the opposite wavelengths at the far end to complete the link.
