Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is ideal for scenarios where network segments must traverse distances beyond the capability of copper Ethernet. It effectively links switches, routers, or servers in separate buildings across a campus, industrial park, or warehouse facility.
Common applications include extending network connectivity to remote security cameras, access control systems, or wireless access points where fiber backbone infrastructure exists. It also serves as a cost-effective solution for gradually migrating portions of a network from copper to fiber without replacing entire switch fleets.
Campus Network Extension
Connect administrative buildings to distant dormitories or research facilities using existing multi-mode fiber runs, maintaining full Fast Ethernet throughput.
Industrial Ethernet
Deploy in manufacturing or utility environments where EMI resistance and longer distances are critical, linking control rooms to remote PLCs or sensors.
Physical Profile
The converter features a sturdy, compact chassis measuring 4.49" wide, 3.94" deep, and 0.89" high, with a weight of just 4.23 ounces. Its rail-mountable form factor includes mounting hardware for secure installation on DIN rails or similar mounting systems within network enclosures. The small size and lightweight construction facilitate easy deployment in space-constrained racks or wall-mounted cabinets.

FAQ
What does this media converter actually do?
The Perle SR-100-ST2D converts Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) signals between a standard copper RJ-45 connection and a multi-mode fiber optic connection using an ST simplex port. This allows network traffic to travel up to 2 kilometers over fiber, overcoming the 100-meter distance limit of copper Ethernet cabling.
What type of fiber optic cable is compatible?
This converter supports multi-mode fiber cables with core/cladding specifications of 62.5/125 µm, 50/125 µm, 85/125 µm, or 100/140 µm. It operates at 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths, which are standard for multi-mode fiber deployments in enterprise and campus environments.
How far can this converter extend my network?
The maximum supported distance is 2 kilometers (approximately 1.24 miles) over multi-mode fiber. This makes it suitable for connecting buildings across a campus, linking remote network equipment, or extending signals to distant endpoints like security cameras or access points.
How is this unit powered and installed?
Power is supplied via an included AC adapter. For installation, the converter features a rail-mountable form factor that allows secure mounting on DIN rails or similar mounting systems within network racks or enclosures. Its compact size (4.49" W x 3.94" D x 0.89" H) minimizes space usage.
What are the port configurations?
The converter has two ports: one RJ-45 port for copper Ethernet (100Base-TX) and one ST simplex port for multi-mode fiber (100Base-BX). The ST port uses a simplex connector, meaning it transmits or receives over a single fiber strand, which is common for shorter-distance multi-mode applications.
Does this product come with a warranty?
Yes, Perle provides a lifetime limited warranty for the SR-100-ST2D media converter. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product, reflecting the manufacturer's confidence in its durability and reliability for continuous network operation.
