Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates at Fast Ethernet speeds, supporting both 100Base-LX fiber and 10/100Base-TX copper standards. The 100Base-LX technology delivers up to 100 Mbps data transfer rates over fiber optic cable, while maintaining backward compatibility with 10 Mbps copper networks when needed.
The converter features one SC duplex port for fiber connectivity and one RJ-45 port for copper Ethernet. This specific port configuration makes it ideal for point-to-point connections where fiber needs to interface with standard network equipment. The 9/125 µm fiber specification indicates compatibility with standard single-mode fiber optic cabling.
Key Product Advantages
This Perle media converter offers several distinct advantages for network infrastructure projects requiring fiber-to-copper conversion. The internal form factor provides a streamlined installation that doesn't require additional rack space or external power adapters, making it ideal for integrated network solutions.

Deployment / Use Cases
The C-100-S2SC20 media converter is specifically designed for scenarios where network infrastructure needs to transition between fiber optic and copper Ethernet media. Its 20 km distance capability makes it particularly valuable for extending networks across larger physical spaces.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting separate buildings on a campus, linking network equipment in industrial facilities, extending network connections to remote security cameras or access points, and bridging fiber backbone connections to copper-based workgroup switches. The internal form factor makes it suitable for installation within network cabinets, industrial control panels, or other enclosed networking environments.
Building-to-Building Connections
Connect network equipment between separate structures using fiber for the long-distance run, then convert to copper for local distribution within each building.
Industrial Network Extension
Extend network connectivity to remote equipment in manufacturing facilities, warehouses, or outdoor installations where copper distance limitations would otherwise require additional network equipment.
Physical Profile
Designed as an internal module, this media converter features a compact form factor that integrates directly into compatible networking equipment or enclosures. The 150 g weight makes it lightweight enough for installation in various configurations without adding significant bulk. The environmentally friendly construction and Canadian origin reflect quality manufacturing standards suitable for professional networking deployments.
