Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter implements Fast Ethernet technology, supporting both 10/100Base-T on the RJ-45 side and 100Base-BX-U on the fiber side. The single RJ-45 port handles twisted pair connections, while the single ST port accommodates standard ST connectors for single-mode fiber, ensuring compatibility with common fiber infrastructure.
The converter's internal form factor allows for neat integration into existing rack or enclosure setups, minimizing clutter. It draws power directly from the host system or enclosure, eliminating the need for an external power adapter and simplifying deployment.
This section brings together practical product details such as Total Number of Ports, Network (RJ-45), DVI, Media Type Supported, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
This Perle converter extends network reach cost-effectively by leveraging existing fiber optic cabling for long-distance runs, avoiding the signal degradation and interference limitations of copper over extended spans. Its unmanaged design ensures zero-configuration operation, reducing setup time and eliminating management overhead.
Extended Distance Capability
Supports fiber optic connections up to 20 kilometers, far exceeding the 100-meter limit of standard twisted pair Ethernet, enabling reliable connectivity across campuses or between separate facilities.
- 20 km maximum distance
- Single-mode fiber support
- 1310 nm/1550 nm wavelengths
Simplified Deployment
The internal form factor and lack of management requirements allow for quick installation into compatible enclosures, with no external power supply needed, streamlining integration into existing network infrastructure.
- Internal mounting
- No external power
- Plug-and-play operation
Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is suited for scenarios where network segments need to span distances beyond the reach of copper cabling, such as connecting buildings on a campus, linking remote offices, or extending networks in industrial environments where electromagnetic interference is a concern.
Common applications include integrating fiber backbone segments into copper-based LANs, extending network connectivity to outbuildings or remote equipment rooms, and future-proofing network infrastructure by incorporating fiber for long-haul links. Its unmanaged nature makes it particularly useful in straightforward point-to-point connections where advanced features like monitoring or configuration are unnecessary.
Building-to-Building Connectivity
Connect separate buildings over single-mode fiber to maintain high-speed Ethernet links without signal loss, ideal for campuses, warehouses, or multi-structure facilities.
Industrial Network Extension
Extend networks in manufacturing or utility environments where fiber's immunity to electrical noise ensures reliable data transmission over long distances in harsh conditions.
Physical Profile
The converter features a compact internal design with a lightweight construction of approximately 5.29 ounces (150 grams), allowing for easy integration into standard networking enclosures or rack systems. Its form factor is optimized for minimal space consumption, supporting tidy cable management with the RJ-45 and ST ports positioned for straightforward connectivity.

FAQ
What does this Perle media converter do?
This converter bridges Fast Ethernet connections by converting signals between a standard RJ-45 twisted pair port and an ST single-mode fiber port. It allows network traffic to extend over fiber optic cabling for distances up to 20 kilometers, overcoming the 100-meter limitation of copper Ethernet cables.
What type of fiber optic cable is compatible with this converter?
The converter supports single-mode fiber optic cables with ST connectors. It is designed for 9/125 µm core/cladding specification and operates at wavelengths of 1310 nm and 1550 nm, which are standard for long-distance single-mode fiber applications in networking.
How far can this media converter transmit data over fiber?
It supports a maximum distance of 20 kilometers (approximately 12.43 miles) over single-mode fiber. This extended range makes it suitable for connecting buildings across a campus or linking remote network segments where copper cabling would be impractical due to signal loss.
Is this media converter managed or unmanaged?
This is an unmanaged media converter, meaning it operates transparently without configuration or management interfaces. It provides plug-and-play functionality, automatically converting signals between copper and fiber with no need for setup, making it ideal for simple point-to-point extensions.
What is the form factor and power requirement for this converter?
The converter has an internal form factor, designed to be installed inside a compatible enclosure or rack. It does not require an external power supply, as it draws power directly from the host system, simplifying deployment and reducing cable clutter in network setups.
What warranty does this Perle media converter come with?
It includes a lifetime limited warranty, providing long-term assurance against defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty reflects the product's durability and reliability for continuous use in network extension applications.
