Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates at Gigabit Ethernet speeds, supporting auto-negotiation for 10/100/1000Base-T on the RJ-45 port and 1000Base-BX on the SC fiber port. It handles conversion between electrical signals over twisted pair and optical signals over multi-mode fiber, utilizing wavelengths of 1310 nm and 1550 nm for flexible deployment with common fiber cabling. The device supports a maximum transmission distance of 0.55 km (0.34 miles) over fiber, significantly extending the reach possible with standard copper Ethernet.
The converter features a total of two ports: one RJ-45 port for copper connectivity and one SC port for fiber optic connections. It does not include a dedicated management port, DVI, or USB interfaces, focusing purely on its core media conversion function. The internal form factor is designed for integration into Perle or compatible chassis, with a lightweight construction of approximately 5.29 oz (150 g) for minimal impact on system weight.

FAQ
What does this Perle media converter do?
This converter bridges Gigabit Ethernet connections between standard twisted pair copper cabling (using an RJ-45 port) and fiber optic cabling (using an SC port). It converts 10/100/1000Base-T signals to 1000Base-BX fiber, allowing you to extend network segments beyond the 100-meter limit of copper by utilizing fiber optics for distances up to 0.55 km.
What type of fiber does this converter support?
It supports multi-mode fiber optic cable, operating at dual wavelengths of 1310 nm and 1550 nm. This compatibility makes it suitable for use with common multi-mode fiber types found in many enterprise and data center environments, providing flexibility for network upgrades or extensions.
What is the maximum distance this converter can achieve?
The converter supports a maximum distance of 0.55 km (0.34 miles) over multi-mode fiber. This extends the reach significantly compared to standard copper Ethernet, which is typically limited to 100 meters, making it ideal for connecting buildings or long runs within facilities.
How many ports does this media converter have?
It has a total of two ports: one RJ-45 port for copper Ethernet connections and one SC port for fiber optic connections. There are no additional management, DVI, or USB ports, as the device is focused solely on media conversion between these two interface types.
