FAQ
What types of fiber optic cables are compatible with this media converter?
The Perle C-1000MM-S2LC120 supports both 62.5/125 µm and 50/125 µm multimode fiber optic cables. This compatibility ensures it works with common cabling standards used in enterprise and data center environments, providing flexibility for network upgrades or expansions.
How far can this converter transmit data over fiber?
This media converter supports a maximum distance of 120 kilometers (approximately 74.56 miles) when used with appropriate fiber optic cabling. This extended reach makes it suitable for long-haul network links, such as connecting remote buildings or extending campus networks over single-mode fiber.
What is the difference between 1000Base-SX and 1000Base-ZX support?
1000Base-SX is a Gigabit Ethernet standard for multimode fiber over shorter distances, typically up to 550 meters, while 1000Base-ZX is for single-mode fiber over longer distances, up to 120 km. This converter supports both, allowing deployment in varied scenarios from data center interconnects to wide-area network extensions.
Does this converter require external power?
No, the Perle C-1000MM-S2LC120 has an internal form factor, meaning it draws power directly from the host device it is installed into, such as a switch or router. This eliminates the need for an external power adapter, simplifying installation and reducing cable clutter.
