Perle SMI-100-S2SC20 Media Converter

The Perle SMI-100-S2SC20 is a managed Fast Ethernet media converter. It bridges 100BASE-TX over RJ-45 copper to 100BASE-LX single-mode fibre at 1310 nm wavelength. The link supports distances up to 20 km or 12.4 miles. A USA power cord is included for immediate deployment.

Suitable for extending copper networks over

This unit suits network operators who need to extend a 100 Mbps copper segment over long-haul single-mode fibre using SC connectors. It is not intended for multimode fibre environments, for gigabit or 10-gigabit speeds, or for deployments that require SFP module flexibility. Buyers needing PoE injection or redundant power inputs should look at other hardware.

Simple rack or shelf installation

The converter mounts in a standard Perle chassis or sits on a flat surface with minimal effort. Connection requires only the RJ-45 patch cord and an SC-terminated single-mode fibre patch lead. The most common issue is a fibre polarity mismatch between the local and remote ends; verifying Tx/Rx alignment before powering up avoids a dark link.

Questions about this item

What RJ-45 cable distance does the 100BASE-TX port on the SMI-100-S2SC20 support?

The 100BASE-TX RJ-45 port supports cable runs up to 100 m or 328 ft before conversion to the single-mode fibre link.

Can the SC single-mode fibre port on this converter link to an existing 100BASE-FX multi-mode installation?

No, the SC port uses 1310 nm single-mode optics rated for 20 km or 12.4 miles and is not compatible with multi-mode 100BASE-FX links.

Which indicator confirms the 100BASE-LX single-mode link is active after connecting the SC patch cord?

The LX or Link LED on the front panel lights solid green when the 1310 nm single-mode fibre connection at 100 Mbps is established.
