Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates with 10/100Base-TX technology on the copper side and 100Base-BX on the fiber side, delivering data transfer rates up to 100 Mbps. The conversion process is transparent to network traffic, ensuring compatibility with existing Ethernet devices without configuration changes.
The unit supports single-mode fiber via its SC connector, optimized for long-distance applications. Power is supplied through an included US power cord, and the converter's internal design focuses on stable performance in continuous operation scenarios.

Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is ideal for scenarios where network segments must traverse longer distances or where fiber optic cabling is already installed. It serves as a cost-effective solution for integrating fiber backbones with copper-based edge devices.
Common applications include connecting remote buildings within a campus, extending network links in manufacturing facilities, or bridging network segments in multi-story office towers. The converter's external, stand-alone design makes it suitable for both permanent installations and temporary network extensions.
Campus Network Extension
Connect separate buildings over existing fiber runs while maintaining Ethernet compatibility for end-user devices.
- Utilizes installed fiber infrastructure
- Preserves Ethernet protocol
- No network reconfiguration needed
Industrial Environment Integration
Deploy in manufacturing or warehouse settings where fiber provides noise immunity and longer reach than copper.
- Resists electromagnetic interference
- Supports harsh environment distances
- Rail-mountable for control panels
Physical Profile
Measuring 1.02 inches in height, 3.15 inches in width, and 4.72 inches in depth (26 x 80 x 120 mm), the converter has a compact footprint that fits easily in confined spaces. The 300-gram weight and multiple mounting options allow installation on rails, walls, racks, or as a standalone unit on a shelf.

FAQ
What does this media converter actually convert?
The Perle S-110-S1SC40U converts 10/100Base-TX Ethernet signals from a standard RJ-45 copper port to 100Base-BX signals for a single SC fiber optic port. This allows network traffic to transition between copper and fiber media while maintaining Ethernet protocol compatibility, enabling longer distance connections than copper alone can support.
What is the maximum distance this converter supports?
This converter supports fiber optic connections up to 40 kilometers when used with appropriate single-mode fiber cabling. The distance capability makes it suitable for connecting network segments across campus environments, between buildings, or in large facilities where copper Ethernet would exceed its typical 100-meter limitation.
What mounting options are available for installation?
The converter offers multiple mounting options including rail-mountable for DIN rail systems commonly found in industrial settings, wall-mountable using standard hardware, rack-mountable for organized server room deployments, and external placement as a standalone unit. This flexibility allows installation in telecom closets, control panels, server racks, or on office walls depending on your infrastructure requirements.
What type of fiber connector does this converter use?
The converter features a single SC fiber optic connector, which is a push-pull connector type commonly used in telecommunications and data networks. SC connectors provide reliable connections with good repeatability and are compatible with standard single-mode fiber optic cables, making them suitable for the 40-kilometer distance this converter supports.
