FAQ
What does this media converter do?
The Perle CM-1000-M2SC05 converts Gigabit Ethernet signals between copper twisted-pair cabling (using an RJ-45 port) and fiber optic cabling (using an SC duplex port). It allows network connections to extend up to 0.55 kilometers by leveraging fiber, overcoming the distance limits of standard copper Ethernet cables.
What types of fiber cables are compatible?
This converter supports multimode fiber optic cables with core/cladding specifications of 62.5/125 µm or 50/125 µm. These are common multimode fiber types used in many enterprise and campus networks for short to medium-distance connections.
What is the maximum data transfer rate?
The media converter supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds, providing up to 1000 Mbps data transfer rates. It handles 10/100/1000Base-T on the copper side and 1000Base-SX on the fiber side, ensuring full Gigabit throughput for high-performance network segments.
How is this device installed?
As an internal form factor media converter, it is designed for mounting within network cabinets, switches, or other enclosed equipment. Installation involves connecting the RJ-45 port to copper network devices and the SC port to fiber optic cabling, with auto-negotiation simplifying setup without manual configuration.
