Product Features
Technical Overview
The C-100-S1SC40D operates on 100Base-BX and 10/100Base-TX network technologies, delivering data transfer rates up to 100 Mbps over optical fiber. It supports a maximum distance of 40 kilometers, making it suitable for long-haul network segments where copper cabling limitations would otherwise restrict connectivity.
The converter features one RJ-45 port for copper connectivity and one SC port for fiber optic connection, ensuring compatibility with common network interfaces. Its internal design minimizes installation complexity and power consumption, while the environmentally friendly construction reflects sustainable manufacturing practices.
Key Product Advantages
This media converter extends network capacity by enabling fiber optic connectivity where only copper infrastructure exists, overcoming distance limitations and reducing signal degradation. Its 40 km support range facilitates reliable data transmission across campuses, industrial sites, or between buildings without intermediate repeaters.
Distance Extension
Supports fiber runs up to 40 km, far exceeding the 100-meter limit of standard Cat5e/Cat6 copper cabling, ideal for long-distance network segments.
- Eliminates need for signal boosters
- Reduces latency over extended runs
Simplified Integration
Internal form factor allows direct installation into compatible network devices, minimizing external clutter and power requirements.
- No external power adapter needed
- Seamless rack or chassis integration
Reliable Connectivity
Converts between 10/100Base-TX copper and 100Base-BX fiber with stable performance, ensuring consistent data flow across mixed-media networks.
- Supports auto-negotiation
- Minimal packet loss in conversion
Deployment / Use Cases
The Perle C-100-S1SC40D is ideal for extending Ethernet networks over single-mode fiber in scenarios where copper cabling cannot reach required distances. It effectively bridges gaps between network segments in industrial environments, educational campuses, or multi-building commercial complexes.
Common applications include connecting remote switches or routers across long distances, integrating fiber backbone links into existing copper-based networks, and upgrading network infrastructure to support future fiber expansion without replacing entire cabling systems.
Campus Network Extension
Connect buildings separated by up to 40 km with reliable fiber optic links, maintaining network performance across large geographic areas.
Industrial Network Integration
Bridge copper-based control systems with fiber optic backbones in manufacturing plants or utility sites, ensuring robust communication in electrically noisy environments.
Physical Profile
The converter has an internal form factor designed for installation within compatible networking equipment, such as switches or media converter chassis. Its lightweight construction at 149.7 grams ensures minimal impact on overall device weight, while the compact design facilitates efficient use of internal space without obstructing airflow or other components.

FAQ
What does this media converter convert between?
The Perle C-100-S1SC40D converts 10/100Base-TX Ethernet signals from a standard RJ-45 copper port to 100Base-BX optical signals through an SC fiber optic port. This allows copper-based network devices to connect to single-mode fiber infrastructure, extending network reach beyond copper cabling limits.
What is the maximum distance supported by this converter?
This converter supports fiber optic cable runs up to 40 kilometers when using compatible 9/125 µm single-mode fiber. This distance far exceeds the typical 100-meter limit of copper Ethernet cabling, making it suitable for long-haul network segments between buildings or across large sites.
What type of fiber optic cable is compatible with this converter?
The converter is compatible with single-mode fiber optic cable that has a core/cladding specification of 9/125 µm. This is standard for single-mode fiber installations, ensuring broad compatibility with existing fiber infrastructure commonly used for long-distance network links.
How is this media converter powered?
The C-100-S1SC40D has an internal form factor, meaning it draws power directly from the host device it is installed into, such as a switch or media converter chassis. This eliminates the need for an external power adapter, simplifying installation and reducing cable clutter.
