Perle SMI-1000-M2ST05 Media Converter Mount

SKU CH-V2VB-GKGFQ

Mounts a managed Gigabit media converter converting 1000BASE-T to 1000BASE-SX at 850 nm over multimode ST up to 550 m

  • TypeData & Communication
  • Managed Gigabit conversion up to 1000 Mbps over fibre
  • Copper RJ-45 reaches 100 m or 328 ft
  • Multimode ST fibre spans 550 m or 1804 ft
  • Operates at 850 nm wavelength for short-range links
  • Includes USA power cord for immediate deployment

Managed Gigabit Media Converter

The Perle SMI-1000-M2ST05 converts 1000BASE-T copper signals over RJ-45 to 1000BASE-SX multimode fibre using an ST connector. It operates at an 850nm wavelength and includes a USA power cord for immediate deployment.

Network technicians extending copper links

This unit suits engineers who need to bridge copper and fibre segments up to 550 metres or 1804 feet. It does not serve installations requiring single-mode fibre, longer reach, SFP flexibility or alternative connector types such as LC or SC.

550 metre multimode reach

The fibre port comfortably handles campus or building backbone runs within the 550 metre multimode limit. Beyond that distance the converter runs out of link budget and a single-mode or extended-reach device becomes necessary.

Questions about this item

What network speed must the existing switch or router port provide to use the 1000BASE-T RJ-45 connection?

The RJ-45 port operates at 1000 Mbps, so the connected switch or router port must also support Gigabit Ethernet.

Can the 1000BASE-SX 850 nm ST fibre link replace an older 100 Mbps fibre segment?

This converter only supports 1000BASE-SX at 850 nm over multimode ST; it will not negotiate down to 100 Mbps fibre speeds.

How can I confirm the link is operating at the full 550 m / 1804 ft multimode distance after installation?

Check the converter’s management interface for a link-up status at 1000BASE-SX and verify the received optical power is within the specified range for the cable length used.
