Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is ideal for scenarios where network extension or media conversion is required. It serves as a practical solution for integrating fiber optic segments into predominantly copper-based networks, particularly in environments where electromagnetic interference or distance poses challenges.
Common applications include connecting buildings across campuses, linking network segments in industrial settings, and extending network reach in data centers. The internal form factor makes it suitable for installation in compatible networking equipment, providing a clean and integrated conversion solution without external clutter.
Campus Network Extension
Connect buildings separated by longer distances where copper cabling is insufficient, using fiber for the backbone with copper at the endpoints.
Industrial Networking
Deploy in environments with high interference by converting to fiber for noise immunity, while maintaining copper connectivity to devices.
Physical Profile
Designed as an internal module, the CM-110-M1SC2D integrates directly into compatible networking hardware, minimizing external footprint and simplifying installation. The lightweight construction at approximately 5.29 ounces ensures easy handling during deployment, while the internal form factor contributes to a tidy and organized network setup.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 5.29 oz (150 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What does this media converter do?
The Perle CM-110-M1SC2D converts 10/100 Fast Ethernet signals between copper twisted pair (via an RJ-45 port) and fiber optic cabling (via an SC port). It allows network segments using different media types to communicate, extending reach and improving signal integrity by leveraging fiber for longer distances.
What is the maximum distance supported over fiber?
This converter supports distances up to 2 kilometers (approximately 1.24 miles) over multi-mode fiber optic cabling. This extended reach is significantly greater than typical copper limitations, making it suitable for connecting network segments across buildings or large facilities.
What type of fiber does it support?
The converter is compatible with multi-mode fiber optic cabling, operating at wavelengths of 1310 nm and 1550 nm. Multi-mode fiber is commonly used for shorter to medium-distance applications, providing a cost-effective solution for network extensions within the supported 2 km range.
Is this a managed or unmanaged converter?
This is a managed media converter module. Managed functionality provides network administrators with monitoring and control capabilities, allowing for performance tracking, configuration adjustments, and troubleshooting to ensure reliable operation in mixed-media network environments.
What is the form factor and how is it installed?
