Perle SMI-110-S2ST20 Media Converter
The Perle SMI-110-S2ST20 is a managed media and rate converter designed for network administrators extending copper links over single-mode fibre. It converts 10/100BASE-TX signals at an RJ-45 port to 100BASE-LX 1310 nm light on an ST connector. The unit includes a USA power cord for immediate deployment.
20 km single-mode reach with 2048-byte frames
The converter transports Ethernet frames up to 2048 bytes across distances up to 20 km or 12.4 miles on single-mode fibre. On the copper side the RJ-45 link is limited to 100 m or 328 ft at 10/100 Mbps. Networks needing longer copper runs, multi-mode fibre, gigabit speeds or jumbo frames beyond 2048 bytes will require different hardware.
Rack or shelf mounting with managed operation
The SMI-110-S2ST20 fits into standard equipment racks or sits on a shelf, requiring only a nearby AC outlet for the supplied USA power cord. Its managed interface lets administrators monitor link status and configure settings remotely, freeing technicians from on-site visits for routine diagnostics. The ST connector mates with existing single-mode patch cords without adapters.

Questions about this item
Will the 10/100BASE-TX RJ-45 port link with my older 10 Mbps equipment?
Yes, the converter supports 10/100BASE-TX so it will negotiate a 10 Mbps link with legacy devices over the RJ-45 connection.
How can I verify the SMI-110-S2ST20 is passing traffic correctly after installation?
Check the front-panel LEDs for link and activity on both the RJ-45 and ST ports; a steady link light and blinking activity light confirm the 100BASE-LX 1310 nm single-mode fibre is carrying frames up to 2048 bytes.
Does the package include the ST fibre patch cable or only the USA power cord?
The supplied contents are the media converter and a USA power cord; an ST-terminated single-mode patch cable for the 20 km link must be purchased separately.
