Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates at Gigabit Ethernet speeds, providing full-duplex data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbps on both copper and fiber interfaces. The RJ-45 port auto-negotiates between 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps to match connected copper devices, while the SC port is dedicated to 1000Base-SX fiber optic connections using 850 nm wavelength multimode fiber. The conversion process is transparent to network traffic, maintaining data integrity and latency performance suitable for voice, video, and data applications.
The module supports a maximum fiber distance of 0.55 kilometers (550 meters), extending network segments beyond the limitations of standard copper cabling. This distance capability makes it ideal for connecting buildings, traversing industrial environments, or linking network equipment across larger floors. The internal design integrates necessary optics and electronics into a single unit, requiring only standard power from the host chassis without external adapters.
Key Product Advantages
The C-1000-M2SC05 delivers essential benefits for network expansion and fiber integration. Its dual-media support eliminates the need for separate copper and fiber switches in hybrid environments, reducing equipment costs and simplifying topology. The lifetime warranty ensures long-term investment protection, while the environmentally friendly design and Canadian manufacturing align with sustainable procurement policies.

Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is particularly effective in scenarios where network segments need to transition between copper and fiber media. Common deployments include connecting copper-based edge switches to fiber backbone networks in office buildings, extending network links between separate floors or wings in healthcare or educational campuses, and integrating fiber-optic runs in industrial settings where electromagnetic interference affects copper performance.
In data center environments, the module can be used to link copper server connections to fiber storage area networks or to extend management networks across racks. For network upgrades, it allows gradual fiber adoption by converting existing copper links without replacing entire switch infrastructures. The internal installation makes it suitable for centralized media conversion in networking chassis, reducing point-of-failure locations compared to standalone converters.
Physical Profile
The converter features an internal form factor designed for installation in Perle or compatible media converter chassis. With an approximate weight of 150 grams, it adds minimal load to hosting equipment. The compact design optimizes rack space utilization, allowing multiple converters to be housed in a single chassis for centralized media conversion management. The module requires no external cooling or special mounting, operating reliably within standard chassis environmental conditions.

FAQ
What types of connections does this media converter support?
This converter supports one RJ-45 port for copper Ethernet connections and one SC port for fiber optic connections. The RJ-45 port auto-negotiates between 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps speeds to match connected copper devices, while the SC port is fixed for 1000Base-SX multimode fiber at 850 nm wavelength. This dual-media design enables seamless conversion between standard twisted-pair cabling and fiber optic runs.
What is the maximum distance supported over fiber?
The converter supports a maximum distance of 0.55 kilometers (550 meters) over multimode fiber when using the 1000Base-SX interface. This extended reach is significantly greater than the 100-meter limit of standard copper Ethernet, making it suitable for connecting network segments across buildings, large floors, or industrial areas where longer runs are necessary.
How is this media converter installed and powered?
This converter has an internal form factor, meaning it installs directly into a compatible media converter chassis or enclosure. It draws power from the chassis through standard internal connectors, eliminating the need for external power adapters or separate power cables. Installation typically involves sliding the module into an available slot in the chassis and securing it with provided hardware.
What warranty coverage does this product include?
The Perle C-1000-M2SC05 comes with a lifetime limited warranty from the manufacturer. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product when used under normal conditions, providing long-term reliability assurance for critical network links. Warranty service is handled through Perle Systems, Inc., with support based on the manufacturer's policies.
