FAQ
What does this media converter do?
The Perle S-110-S2ST40 Fast Ethernet Media Converter converts 10/100Base-TX Ethernet signals from copper cables to 100Base-EX fiber optic signals. It enables network extension over long distances by bridging RJ-45 Ethernet ports to ST fiber optic ports, supporting data transfer up to 100 Mbps across fiber runs up to 40 kilometers.
What types of ports does it have?
This converter has two ports: one RJ-45 port for connecting to standard Ethernet networks using copper cables, and one ST duplex port for connecting to fiber optic cables. The ST port uses duplex connectors to support bidirectional fiber communication, making it compatible with common fiber optic infrastructure.
How far can it extend a network?
It supports a maximum distance of 40 kilometers (approximately 24.85 miles) over fiber optic cable when using 100Base-EX technology. This allows for significant network extension beyond the limitations of copper Ethernet, which is typically limited to 100 meters per segment, making it suitable for connecting remote locations or large campuses.
Is it easy to install?
Yes, installation is straightforward due to its external form factor. It does not require internal installation in a chassis or rack; you can simply place it on a desk, shelf, or mount it as needed. Connect the RJ-45 port to your Ethernet network and the ST port to your fiber optic cable for plug-and-play operation without complex configuration.
