10/100/1000Base-T to 1000BASE-LX media converter

The Perle SMI-1110-M2LC2 is a managed rate converter built for network engineers who need to link copper and fibre segments. It bridges 10/100/1000BASE-T over RJ-45 to 1000BASE-LX at 1310 nm using an LC connector. The unit is supplied new with a USA power cord.

Extended reach under continuous traffic

Managed operation lets the converter sustain gigabit throughput across the 2 km multimode link without dropping to fast-ethernet frame limits. Maximum frame size stays at 10,240 bytes on the gigabit side and 2048 bytes on the fast-ethernet side, so sustained loads keep their full payload. The 1310 nm extended multimode optics maintain signal integrity over the full 6562 ft distance.

LC duplex connector and desktop footprint

An LC duplex port secures the fibre patch cord with a positive latch that resists vibration in rack or wall-mount trays. The RJ-45 copper port locks at 100 m, giving installers a clear 328 ft copper run before the fibre handoff. A compact metal chassis dissipates heat passively, so the converter runs silently in equipment rooms or outdoor enclosures.

Questions about this item

Does the SMI-1110-M2LC2 media converter generate noticeable noise or heat when running continuously?

The unit has no moving parts and operates silently; typical power draw for this class of managed converter is low enough that surface warmth stays modest during all-day use.

What cabling and power items must I already have to install the SMI-1110-M2LC2?

You need a Cat5e or better RJ-45 patch cord up to 100 m, a duplex LC multimode fibre patch cord for the 1310 nm link up to 2 km, and a standard US AC outlet for the included power cord.

Will the SMI-1110-M2LC2 work with my existing 10/100 Mbps switches and 1000BASE-LX fibre gear?

Yes, the RJ-45 port auto-negotiates 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps and the LC port is fixed at 1000BASE-LX, so it bridges legacy Fast Ethernet switches to modern gigabit fibre without reconfiguration.
