Perle SMI-100-S2SC40 100BASE-TX to 100BASE-EX 40 km mount

SKU CH-S10Z-CK8BT

Converts 100BASE-TX copper to 100BASE-EX single-mode fibre up to 40 km with SC connector and 1310 nm wavelength

  • TypeData & Communication
  • Converts 100BASE-TX copper to 100BASE-EX single-mode fibre
  • Extends network reach up to 40 km over single-mode fibre
  • Operates at 1310 nm wavelength for long-distance transmission
  • RJ-45 port supports 100 m copper segment distance
  • SC connector ensures secure single-mode fibre connection

Media converter for single-mode fibre

This managed Fast Ethernet media converter links a 100BASE-TX RJ-45 port with a 100BASE-EX single-mode SC interface operating at 1310 nm. It extends network connectivity up to 40 km or 24.9 miles over fibre. The unit suits administrators who need managed conversion between copper and long-haul fibre segments.

Thermals noise and power

The device is a passive network component with no fans or active cooling mentioned in the specifications. It draws power from the included USA power cord and operates silently in normal use. No thermal design power or acoustic figures are supplied by the manufacturer.

Bundled accessories and management

A USA power cord is included for immediate operation. Managed firmware provides configuration and monitoring capabilities for the conversion link. No additional software licences, mounting brackets or fibre patch cables are listed as bundled items.

Questions about this item

How do I install the SMI-100-S2SC40 media converter and what step is often missed?

Connect the 100BASE-TX RJ-45 port with a Cat5e cable up to 100 m and the 100BASE-EX SC single-mode fibre up to 40 km, then apply the included USA power cord; the step often missed is confirming the 1310 nm wavelength matches the far-end module.

What maintenance or replacement will the SMI-100-S2SC40 need over time?

The SC single-mode fibre patch cords and the USA power cord are the only field-replaceable parts; the internal 1310 nm optics are sealed and require no scheduled service.

What limit appears first when the SMI-100-S2SC40 runs under sustained load?

The 100BASE-TX copper link caps at 100 m while the 100BASE-EX fibre reaches 40 km, so the copper distance is the first hard limit in a sustained deployment.
