FAQ
What does this media converter convert between?
The Perle CM-110-M1SC2U converts 10/100Base-TX Fast Ethernet signals between twisted pair copper cabling (via an RJ-45 port) and multi-mode fiber optic cabling (via an SC port). This allows network segments using different media types to communicate seamlessly, extending the reach of Ethernet networks beyond the limitations of copper alone.
What is the maximum distance supported by this converter?
This converter supports a maximum distance of 2 kilometers (1.24 miles) when using fiber optic cabling. This extended reach is ideal for connecting network devices across buildings, campuses, or remote locations where traditional copper Ethernet cables would be insufficient due to distance constraints or environmental interference.
What types of fiber optic cable are compatible?
The converter is compatible with multi-mode fiber optic cables and supports wavelengths of 1310 nm and 1550 nm. It uses SC connectors for the fiber interface, ensuring reliable connections in standard multi-mode fiber deployments commonly used in enterprise and industrial networking environments.
Is this a managed or unmanaged converter?
The CM-110-M1SC2U is a managed media converter module. This means it provides network administrators with oversight and control capabilities for monitoring and managing the conversion process. However, it does not include a dedicated management port, so management functions are integrated into its operational design for streamlined network integration.
What is the form factor and how is it installed?
This converter has an internal form factor, designed to be installed inside compatible networking equipment rather than as a standalone external device. Installation requires minimal energy and effort, typically involving slotting it into a designated module bay within a switch, router, or other networking hardware, making it a compact and integrated solution.
What warranty does this product come with?
The Perle CM-110-M1SC2U comes with a lifetime limited warranty. This warranty provides long-term assurance of reliability and support, reflecting the product's durability and suitability for critical network infrastructure where continuous operation is essential.
