FAQ
What does this media converter do?
The Perle SMI-100-S2SC40 converts 100Base-TX Ethernet signals from a copper RJ-45 port to 100Base-FX signals over a fiber optic SC port. This allows you to extend network connections up to 40 kilometers using fiber cabling, which is useful for bridging distances where copper Ethernet would suffer signal loss or interference.
What type of fiber cable is compatible with this converter?
This converter is compatible with single-mode fiber optic cables that have a core/cladding specification of 9/125 µm. It uses SC connectors, so you'll need SC-terminated fiber patches or cables to connect the device. Single-mode fiber is ideal for long-distance applications like the 40 km reach supported here.
How is this media converter powered?
The converter is powered by the included universal AC/DC adapter, which supports various input voltages for use in different regions. This plug-and-play power solution makes installation straightforward without requiring additional power supplies or complex wiring.
Can I mount this converter in a rack?
Yes, the SMI-100-S2SC40 supports multiple mounting options: it is rack-mountable, wall-mountable, and rail-mountable. This flexibility allows you to install it in server racks, on walls in network closets, or on rails in industrial settings, adapting to your specific infrastructure needs.
