FAQ
What does this media converter actually do?
The Perle SR-100-SC2-XT converts Fast Ethernet signals between copper and fiber media. It takes 100Base-TX signals from a standard RJ-45 Ethernet port and converts them to 100Base-FX signals for transmission over multimode fiber optic cables through its dual SC ports, allowing network extension beyond the 100-meter limit of copper cabling.
What type of fiber optic cable is compatible with this converter?
This converter supports multimode fiber optic cables with core/cladding specifications of 62.5/125 µm, 50/125 µm, 85/125 µm, or 100/140 µm. It uses SC duplex connectors and operates at a 1310 nm wavelength, which is standard for multimode fiber transmission in Fast Ethernet applications.
What is the maximum distance this converter can support?
The converter supports fiber transmission distances up to 2 kilometers (approximately 1.24 miles) when using compatible multimode fiber optic cables.
