Managed 10/100 Media Converter

The Perle SMI-110-M2LC2 is a managed media converter designed for network administrators extending copper Ethernet links over fibre. It translates 10/100Base-TX signals from an RJ-45 port to 100Base-FX at 1310 nm on an LC multimode interface. The unit handles frames up to 2048 bytes and includes a USA power cord for immediate deployment.

Thermals Noise and Power Draw

The converter operates without active cooling, so it adds no fan noise to the environment. Power is drawn from the supplied mains cord, keeping the device running silently in a cabinet or on a desk. With no moving parts, thermal output remains low during continuous 100 Mbps throughput across the 2 km fibre segment.

Build Quality and Connectors

A compact metal chassis protects the internal circuitry and provides a stable base for the RJ-45 and LC ports. The LC duplex connector secures the multimode fibre patch cord, while the RJ-45 jack accepts standard twisted-pair cable up to 100 m. Management features are accessible via the network link, so no local console cable is required for daily operation.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the RJ-45 and LC cables to the SMI-110-M2LC2 converter?

Insert the RJ-45 plug into the 10/100BASE-TX port for copper runs up to 100 m and the LC connector into the 100BASE-FX 1310 nm multimode port for fibre runs up to 2 km; the step often missed is verifying the TX/RX fibre polarity before locking the latch.

Which components of the SMI-110-M2LC2 will need replacement over time?

The LC multimode transceiver and the RJ-45 jack are the only field-replaceable parts; the internal power supply and managed firmware board are not user-serviceable.

What throughput limit appears first on the SMI-110-M2LC2 during sustained traffic?

The 100 Mbps 100BASE-FX link and the 2048-byte maximum frame size cap sustained throughput before any thermal or buffer constraint is reached.
