Product Features
Technical Overview
Technically, the C-1110-M2ST05 operates as a transparent media converter, handling the physical layer conversion between electrical signals on twisted-pair cable and optical signals on fiber. It supports multimode fiber with core/cladding specifications of 62.5/125 µm or 50/125 µm, accommodating common fiber types used in enterprise and data center environments.
The device achieves a maximum supported distance of 0.55 kilometers over fiber, extending network segments beyond the limitations of standard copper cabling. It requires no external power supply, drawing power directly from the host system or enclosure, which simplifies deployment and reduces cable clutter.
Key Product Advantages
This media converter offers distinct advantages for network expansion and fiber integration projects. Its dual-port design provides a straightforward conversion path between copper and fiber, eliminating the need for expensive network upgrades or additional active equipment.
Distance Extension
Extend Gigabit Ethernet connections up to 0.55 km using fiber optic cabling, overcoming the distance limitations of traditional copper cables.
- Supports 1000Base-SX over fiber
- Compatible with 62.5/125 µm and 50/125 µm multimode fiber
Simplified Integration
Seamlessly integrate fiber segments into copper networks with auto-negotiating 10/100/1000Base-T support on the RJ-45 port.
- Plug-and-play operation
- Internal form factor for discreet installation
Deployment / Use Cases
The Perle C-1110-M2ST05 is ideal for scenarios where network segments need to span longer distances or where fiber optic cabling is required for noise immunity or security. Common deployment environments include enterprise networks, industrial settings, educational campuses, and data centers.
Typical use cases include connecting network switches in separate buildings using existing fiber infrastructure, extending network reach in manufacturing plants where electromagnetic interference is a concern, and integrating fiber backbones into legacy copper-based office networks. Its internal design makes it suitable for installation within network racks, wall mounts, or embedded systems.
Physical Profile
With an internal form factor and lightweight design at approximately 150 grams, this media converter is engineered for low-profile installation. It can be mounted inside network enclosures, equipment chassis, or custom assemblies, minimizing footprint and maintaining a clean installation aesthetic. The compact size and lack of external power requirements contribute to efficient space utilization in dense network environments.
