FAQ
What does this media converter do?
The Perle SMI-100-S1SC20D converts Fast Ethernet signals between copper twisted pair (100Base-TX) and single-mode fiber optic (100Base-FX) cabling. It allows network segments using RJ-45 connectors to connect to fiber optic networks, extending the reach beyond the 100-meter limit of copper cables while maintaining 100 Mbps data rates.
What is the maximum distance supported over fiber?
This converter supports fiber optic transmission up to 20 kilometers (approximately 12.43 miles) when using single-mode fiber with SC connectors. This extended distance makes it suitable for connecting network equipment across campuses, between buildings, or in large industrial sites where copper cabling would be impractical.
What type of fiber and connectors does it use?
It uses single-mode fiber optic cable with SC connectors. The fiber specification is 9/125 µm core/cladding, and it operates at a 1550 nm wavelength. This combination provides reliable long-distance performance with standard single-mode fiber installations.
How is this media converter powered?
The converter is powered by the included universal AC/DC adapter, which accepts input voltages from 100-240V AC. This allows deployment in various regions without needing additional power supplies. The external power design simplifies maintenance and replacement if needed.
What mounting options are available?
The SMI-100-S1SC20D supports wall mounting, rack mounting in standard 19-inch racks, and rail mounting on DIN rails. This flexibility allows installation in network closets, industrial control panels, telecom environments, or office spaces based on your infrastructure requirements.
What management capabilities does it offer?
It includes an IP management port that enables remote monitoring and configuration through a web interface or network management software. This allows administrators to check link status, configure conversion parameters, and troubleshoot connectivity issues without physical access to the unit.
