Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates at Fast Ethernet speeds, supporting both 100Base-FX over fiber and 10/100Base-TX auto-negotiation over copper. The 100Base-FX technology delivers up to 100 Mbps data transfer rates over optical fiber cable, while maintaining compatibility with existing 10 Mbps Ethernet infrastructure through the copper interface.
The converter supports transmission distances up to 2 kilometers (1.24 miles) over multimode fiber, significantly extending network reach beyond copper limitations. It accommodates multiple fiber cable types including 50/125 µm, 62.5/125 µm, 100/140 µm, and 85/125 µm multimode fibers, providing flexibility for various installation requirements.

FAQ
What types of fiber optic cable does this media converter support?
The Perle C-100-M2LC2 supports multiple multimode fiber cable specifications including 50/125 µm, 62.5/125 µm, 100/140 µm, and 85/125 µm core/cladding configurations. This compatibility provides flexibility for various installation requirements and existing fiber infrastructure.
What is the maximum distance this converter can extend my network?
This media converter supports transmission distances up to 2 kilometers (1.24 miles) over multimode fiber optic cable. This significantly extends network reach beyond the limitations of traditional copper Ethernet connections while maintaining Fast Ethernet performance.
What network speeds does this media converter support?
The converter supports Fast Ethernet speeds with 100Base-FX technology over fiber optic connections and 10/100Base-TX auto-negotiation over copper RJ-45 connections. This provides up to 100 Mbps data transfer rates while maintaining backward compatibility with 10 Mbps Ethernet infrastructure.
What does 'internal form factor' mean for installation?
The internal form factor means this media converter is designed to be installed inside compatible network equipment or enclosures rather than as a standalone external device. This eliminates the need for external power adapters and separate enclosures, providing a space-efficient integration solution.
