Product Features
Technical Overview
The CM-1110-S1SC120U operates as a transparent bridge between 1000Base-T copper Ethernet and 1000Base-BX single-fiber optical networks. It maintains full duplex Gigabit performance with automatic MDI/MDIX crossover on the copper side and wavelength division multiplexing on the fiber side.
This media converter requires no configuration or software management, functioning as a plug-and-play device. It supports standard Ethernet frame formats and maintains compatibility with existing network equipment without requiring protocol changes.
This section brings together practical product details such as Total Number of Ports, Network (RJ-45), Number of Network (RJ-45) Ports, Network Technology, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
This media converter extends network distances far beyond the 100-meter limit of copper Ethernet by leveraging fiber optic technology. The 1000Base-BX standard uses single-fiber bidirectional communication, reducing fiber count requirements while maintaining Gigabit performance.
Distance Extension
Enables network connections over much greater distances than copper Ethernet alone, ideal for connecting buildings or remote network segments.
- Overcomes 100-meter copper limitation
- Supports fiber distances up to 10+ kilometers
Media Conversion
Seamlessly converts between copper RJ-45 and fiber SC interfaces without signal degradation or performance loss.
- RJ-45 to SC conversion
- Maintains 1000 Mbps throughput
Simplified Deployment
Requires no configuration or management software, making it easy to deploy in any network environment.
- Zero-configuration operation
- Compatible with standard network equipment
Deployment / Use Cases
The Perle CM-1110-S1SC120U media converter is particularly valuable in scenarios where network segments need to span distances that exceed copper Ethernet capabilities. Its compact form factor and simple operation make it suitable for various networking environments.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting network equipment between buildings on a campus, extending network reach to remote offices or outbuildings, and integrating fiber backbone segments into predominantly copper networks. The converter also provides electrical isolation between network segments, protecting equipment from ground potential differences.
Building-to-Building Connections
Connect network switches or routers between separate buildings using fiber optic cable for distance and electrical isolation.
Network Extension
Extend existing copper networks to remote locations such as security cameras, access points, or industrial equipment.

FAQ
What does this media converter actually convert?
The Perle CM-1110-S1SC120U converts Gigabit Ethernet signals between copper RJ-45 interfaces and fiber optic SC interfaces. It takes 1000Base-T signals from copper Ethernet cables and converts them to 1000Base-BX signals for transmission over single-mode fiber, and vice versa for incoming fiber signals.
What is 1000Base-BX technology?
1000Base-BX is a Gigabit Ethernet standard that uses single-fiber bidirectional communication. Unlike traditional fiber that requires two fibers (one for transmit, one for receive), 1000Base-BX uses wavelength division multiplexing to send and receive data over a single fiber strand, reducing fiber count requirements while maintaining full 1000 Mbps performance.
What types of networks is this converter suitable for?
This media converter is ideal for extending Gigabit Ethernet networks beyond the 100-meter limitation of copper cabling. It works well for connecting network segments between buildings, extending networks to remote equipment locations, or integrating fiber backbone segments into predominantly copper infrastructure without requiring network protocol changes.
Does this converter require any configuration or management software?
No, the CM-1110-S1SC120U operates as a plug-and-play device with zero configuration required. It automatically negotiates link speed and duplex settings on the copper side while transparently converting signals between copper and fiber interfaces without needing software management or configuration tools.
