Perle SMI-100-S2ST20 Media Converter Mount

The Perle SMI-100-S2ST20 is a managed Fast Ethernet media converter designed for network administrators extending copper links over single-mode fibre. It bridges 100BASE-TX RJ-45 connections to 100BASE-LX 1310 nm ST interfaces for campus or metro deployments.

Sustained link performance

The converter maintains a continuous 100 Mbps full-duplex rate across the full 20 km single-mode span without the throughput drop-off seen in unmanaged units. Managed firmware provides SNMP monitoring and remote configuration so link health stays visible during long-term operation.

20 km single-mode reach

The 1310 nm ST optics deliver exactly 20 kilometres or 12.4 miles over standard single-mode fibre, making this the correct module only when the remote endpoint lies within that distance. Shorter multi-mode runs or longer-reach applications require different optics.

Questions about this item

Does the SMI-100-S2ST20 media converter generate noticeable heat or fan noise when running continuously?

The unit is a passive media converter with no moving parts, so it produces minimal heat and operates silently during all-day use.

What cabling and power items must I already have to install the SMI-100-S2ST20 converter?

You need a Cat5e or better RJ-45 patch cord for the 100BASE-TX side, a 1310 nm single-mode ST patch cable for the 20 km fibre link, and a standard US mains outlet for the included power cord.

Can the SMI-100-S2ST20 link to older 100BASE-FX equipment that uses SC connectors instead of ST?

No, the fibre port is fixed to an ST connector; you would need a separate ST-to-SC single-mode patch cord to connect to legacy SC-based 100BASE-FX gear.
