FAQ
What network standards does this media converter support?
This converter supports both 100Base-EX and 100Base-FX standards, providing 100 Mbps data transfer rates over fiber optic connections. These standards are commonly used for extending Ethernet networks across fiber infrastructure in business and telecommunications environments.
What is the maximum distance this converter can support?
The Perle C-100MM-S2LC40 supports fiber connections up to 40 kilometers (approximately 24.85 miles). This extended reach makes it suitable for connecting network segments across campus environments, between buildings, or in distributed enterprise networks where copper limitations would otherwise restrict connectivity.
What types of fiber optic cables are compatible with this converter?
This media converter is compatible with multiple fiber optic cable specifications including 85/125 µm, 9/125 µm, 50/125 µm, 62.5/125 µm, and 100/140 µm core/cladding diameters. This broad compatibility ensures the converter can work with various existing fiber installations without requiring specialized cables.
What does 'internal form factor' mean for installation?
Internal form factor means this media converter is designed to be installed within network racks, enclosures, or other protected infrastructure rather than as a standalone external device. This approach provides cleaner cable management, better physical protection, and more efficient use of space in data center and network closet deployments.
