Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter implements 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-BX conversion, translating Fast Ethernet signals between copper RJ-45 interfaces and single-mode fiber SC connectors. The 9/125 µm fiber specification ensures compatibility with standard single-mode cabling infrastructure commonly deployed in long-distance network links.
The internal form factor is designed for installation within networking equipment enclosures, providing a clean, integrated solution that eliminates external clutter. With a total port count of two—one RJ-45 and one SC—the device maintains a focused conversion role without unnecessary complexity.
Key Product Advantages
The CM-110-S1SC40U delivers practical benefits for network expansion and fiber integration projects. Its extended 40-kilometer reach enables connectivity between geographically separated network segments without signal degradation, while the internal installation approach reduces physical footprint and simplifies cable management.
Extended Fiber Reach
Supports fiber runs up to 40 kilometers, enabling connectivity across campuses, industrial sites, or between buildings without intermediate repeaters.
- Single-mode fiber compatibility
- 9/125 µm core/cladding specification
Simplified Deployment
Internal form factor installs directly within networking equipment, eliminating external converter boxes and reducing clutter in rack environments.
- 150 g lightweight design
- Minimal energy consumption
Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is ideal for extending Fast Ethernet networks over fiber infrastructure where copper distance limitations would otherwise require additional equipment. Common deployment scenarios include connecting network switches in separate buildings, linking industrial control systems across manufacturing facilities, or integrating fiber backbones into existing copper-based network segments.
The internal installation approach makes it particularly suitable for data center cabinets, network closets, and industrial control panels where space optimization and clean cable management are priorities. The converter's compatibility with standard single-mode fiber simplifies integration with existing fiber plant infrastructure.
Physical Profile
Designed for internal mounting within networking equipment, the converter features a compact form factor that minimizes space requirements. The 150-gram weight ensures minimal load on mounting structures while the internal installation approach provides protection within equipment enclosures. This design philosophy prioritizes integration over standalone operation, making it ideal for rack-mounted and cabinet-deployed networking environments.
