Managed Media Converter Mount
The Perle SMI-110-S2SC20 is a managed media converter that bridges copper and fibre networks. It suits installers who need to extend Ethernet links beyond standard copper limits. The unit converts 10/100Base-TX signals to single-mode fibre for long-distance runs. It arrives new and includes a USA power cord for immediate deployment.
20 km Single-Mode Reach
The converter links an RJ-45 port at 100 m to a 1310 nm SC fibre port spanning 20 km or 12.4 miles. This distance spec is the single figure that decides whether the part fits the link budget. Maximum frame size is 2048 bytes for managed traffic handling. No other interface or protocol is supported by this model.
Copper-to-Fibre Extension Capacity
The device comfortably handles 10/100 Mbps copper segments up to 328 feet and pushes data across 20 km of single-mode fibre. It runs out when the link requires gigabit speeds, multimode fibre, or distances beyond 20 km. Buyers needing higher bandwidth or different fibre types must select another converter.

Questions about this item
What does the 2048-byte maximum frame size mean when the converter is running in my network?
Frames up to 2048 bytes pass through without fragmentation; larger frames are dropped or must be broken up by the sending device.
The RJ-45 port is 10/100Base-TX — what speed does that cap the link at in practice?
The copper side negotiates at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps full-duplex; it cannot reach gigabit speeds.
What physical mounting does the SMI-110-S2SC20 need to fit in a rack or on a desk?
The unit is a compact stand-alone device that sits on a flat surface or can be secured with its integrated mounting brackets.
