Perle Fast Ethernet Media Converter

The Perle SMI-100-S2LC20 is a managed media converter that links a 100BASE-TX copper port to a 100BASE-LX single-mode fibre port. It is intended for network engineers who need to extend a Fast Ethernet segment beyond the standard copper distance limit.

RJ-45 to LC single-mode fibre link

The converter accepts a 100BASE-TX connection over an RJ-45 jack with a reach of 100 m or 328 ft. On the fibre side it uses an LC connector operating at 1310 nm to cover 20 km or 12.4 miles. A USA power cord is included for immediate deployment.

Managed operation for sustained links

Management features allow administrators to monitor link status and configure the converter remotely during continuous operation. The hardware is built to maintain the 100 Mbps full-duplex rate over the full 20 km single-mode path without relying on short-burst performance.
