Product Features
Technical Overview
The SR-100-SC2 operates as a layer-1 media converter, transparently converting electrical signals from the RJ-45 port to optical signals for the SC fiber ports and vice versa. It supports both twisted-pair copper and optical fiber media types, handling 100Base-TX on the copper side and 100Base-FX on the fiber side for seamless integration into existing Fast Ethernet infrastructures.
Its multi-mode fiber design with 1310 nm wavelength is optimized for short to medium-distance applications, such as campus backbones, building interconnects, or industrial networks where fiber's durability and noise resistance are advantageous. The converter requires standard AC power and includes no internal management or configuration interfaces, functioning as a plug-and-play device for straightforward deployment.
Key Product Advantages
This media converter extends network reach by leveraging fiber optic cabling, overcoming the distance limitations of standard copper Ethernet. It provides a cost-effective solution for integrating fiber segments into copper-based networks without upgrading switches or endpoints.
Distance Extension
Supports transmission up to 2 kilometers over multi-mode fiber, far exceeding the 100-meter limit of Cat5/Cat6 copper cabling.
- Eliminates need for repeaters or additional switches
- Maintains signal integrity over longer runs
Fiber Connectivity
Dual SC ports allow daisy-chaining or connection to two separate fiber links, providing flexibility in network topology design.
- SC connectors are common in multi-mode installations
- Supports standard LC to SC patch cables with adapters
Deployment / Use Cases
The SR-100-SC2 is ideal for environments where network segments must span distances beyond copper's practical limits or where fiber's electrical isolation is necessary. Its rail-mountable design suits centralized installations in racks or enclosures.
Common applications include connecting wiring closets across buildings in campus networks, extending networks in manufacturing plants with high EMI, linking surveillance cameras over long distances, or integrating fiber backbones into existing copper LANs. The converter works transparently with any Fast Ethernet device, requiring no special drivers or configuration on connected equipment.
Building Interconnects
Connect network switches between separate buildings using existing multi-mode fiber infrastructure while maintaining 100 Mbps throughput.
Industrial Networking
Deploy in factories or warehouses where fiber's immunity to electrical noise ensures reliable connectivity near heavy machinery or high-voltage equipment.

FAQ
What types of connections does this media converter support?
The Perle SR-100-SC2 supports one RJ-45 port for twisted-pair copper Ethernet and two SC ports for multi-mode fiber optic connections. It converts signals between these media types, allowing integration of fiber segments into copper networks.
What is the maximum distance this converter can achieve over fiber?
This converter supports transmission up to 2 kilometers (approximately 1.24 miles) when using multi-mode fiber optic cable with 1310 nm wavelength. This extends network reach significantly beyond the 100-meter limit of standard copper Ethernet cabling.
What Ethernet speeds and standards does it support?
It supports Fast Ethernet at 100 Mbps, specifically the 100Base-TX standard over copper and 100Base-FX over fiber. This makes it compatible with older network equipment or applications where Gigabit speeds are not required.
How is this converter powered and installed?
The converter uses standard AC power and features a rail-mountable form factor. It can be mounted on DIN rails or rack brackets for organized installation in network cabinets, data centers, or industrial control panels without occupying desktop space.
