FAQ
What does this media converter actually convert?
The Perle SR-1110-SC20D converts electrical Ethernet signals from a standard RJ-45 copper port (supporting 10/100/1000Base-T) to optical signals for transmission over single-mode fiber using the 1000Base-BX standard. It enables communication between copper-based network devices and fiber optic infrastructure.
What type of fiber connector does it use, and is it simplex or duplex?
This converter uses a single SC simplex fiber connector. Simplex means it utilizes one fiber strand for bidirectional communication, with different wavelengths (1310 nm and 1490 nm) for transmit and receive directions, reducing cabling requirements compared to duplex connections that use two separate fibers.
What is the maximum distance this converter can support?
It supports a maximum transmission distance of 20 kilometers (approximately 12.43 miles) over single-mode fiber when using the specified 9/125 µm cable. This extended reach is ideal for connecting network segments across large campuses, between buildings, or in industrial settings where copper distance limits are exceeded.
How is this device powered?
The converter is powered by an included AC adapter. It does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE) or DC terminal block input. The AC power input ensures reliable operation in standard office or data center environments where AC outlets are readily available.
Can this converter be mounted in a rack?
Yes, it features a rail-mountable form factor designed for installation on standard DIN rails, commonly used in 19" equipment racks, industrial control panels, or network enclosures. Its compact dimensions allow for high-density deployments in space-constrained locations.
What warranty coverage does Perle provide for this product?
Perle backs the SR-1110-SC20D with a lifetime limited warranty. This coverage applies to defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product, providing long-term assurance for network infrastructure investments. The warranty is supported by Perle Systems, Inc., with the product manufactured in Taiwan.
