Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter module features a total of two ports: one RJ-45 port for copper connections and one SC port for fiber optic links. It supports media types including twisted pair and optical fiber, specifically multi-mode fiber, with compatibility for 10/100/1000Base-T and 1000Base-BX network technologies. This ensures backward compatibility with Fast Ethernet and full Gigabit Ethernet performance, delivering data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbps over copper and fiber segments.
The module is designed for internal installation, requiring minimal energy and effort to deploy within compatible hardware. It does not include management ports, DVI, or USB interfaces, focusing solely on its core conversion function. Environmentally friendly construction and a lifetime limited warranty underscore its durability and long-term value for network infrastructure projects.
Key Product Advantages
The Perle C-1000-M1SC05U offers distinct advantages for network expansion and media conversion tasks. Its ability to convert between copper and fiber optics allows organizations to leverage the benefits of fiber—such as longer distances and immunity to electromagnetic interference—without overhauling entire network infrastructures. The dual-wavelength support at 1310 nm and 1550 nm enhances compatibility with a wide range of multi-mode fiber cables, simplifying deployment in varied settings.
Extended Reach
Supports distances up to 0.55 km (0.34 miles) over fiber, enabling network extension beyond typical copper limitations while maintaining Gigabit speeds.
- Ideal for connecting remote offices or equipment
- Reduces signal degradation over long runs
Simplified Integration
Internal form factor allows for easy installation within existing networking hardware, minimizing external clutter and power requirements.
- Low-energy operation
- Seamless fit in compatible devices
Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter module is suited for scenarios where network segments need to transition between copper and fiber media. Common deployments include extending LAN connections across buildings or floors, integrating fiber backbones into copper-based networks, and connecting devices in environments prone to electrical interference. Its internal design makes it ideal for use in switches, routers, or other networking equipment that support module slots, providing a clean and integrated solution.
Typical use cases involve data centers, enterprise networks, industrial settings, and educational campuses. For example, it can connect a copper-based server room to a fiber optic backbone, or link copper endpoints in an office to a fiber distribution frame. The module's support for multi-mode fiber and Gigabit Ethernet ensures it meets the demands of modern high-speed networks while offering the distance benefits of fiber optics.
Physical Profile
The Perle C-1000-M1SC05U features an internal form factor, designed to be installed within compatible networking hardware rather than as a standalone external unit.
