Product Features
Technical Overview
The SR-100-SFP supports Fast Ethernet technology with compatibility for both 100Base-TX over twisted pair and 100Base-X over optical fiber. It accommodates a maximum transmission distance of 0.10 km (0.06 mile), enabling reliable connectivity across moderate spans where copper limitations would otherwise apply.
Advanced networking features include Link Pass-Through, Far-End Fault detection, and Auto-MDIX, which automate link management and fault isolation to reduce manual configuration and troubleshooting time. The SFP slot accepts industry-standard small form-factor pluggable modules, allowing customization for single-mode or multimode fiber types based on deployment needs.
This section brings together practical product details such as Total Number of Ports, Network (RJ-45), Number of Network (RJ-45) Ports, Media Type Supported, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
This media converter delivers practical benefits for network expansion and fiber migration projects. Its triple power input option—supporting dual terminal block connectors and T-Bus—provides redundancy and flexibility in power sourcing, which is critical in environments with unstable or distributed power supplies.
Flexible Fiber Connectivity
The empty SFP slot accommodates Cisco-compatible and other industry-standard SFP modules, enabling tailored fiber optic connections for single-mode or multimode cabling without requiring a dedicated fixed-transceiver model.
Enhanced Reliability
Built-in features like Far-End Fault detection and Link Pass-Through help maintain network uptime by automatically identifying and responding to link failures, reducing the need for manual intervention during outages.
Deployment / Use Cases
The SR-100-SFP is ideal for extending existing copper-based Fast Ethernet networks over fiber optic cabling. Common applications include connecting buildings within a campus, linking industrial control systems across factory floors, or integrating legacy equipment into modern fiber backbones where electrical interference or distance limitations are concerns.
Its rail-mountable design suits structured cabling environments such as data centers, telecommunications closets, or manufacturing facilities where equipment must be securely mounted in standard racks. The converter also supports network segmentation by isolating copper segments from fiber trunks, improving security and performance in mixed-media deployments.
Building-to-Building Links
Extend Fast Ethernet connections between separate structures using fiber optic cabling to overcome distance limits and avoid ground potential issues associated with copper runs.
Industrial Networking
Deploy in manufacturing or utility settings where fiber's immunity to electromagnetic interference ensures stable connectivity for critical control and monitoring systems.
Physical Profile
The converter has a compact footprint measuring 4.49" wide by 3.94" deep, with a low profile of 0.89" height, making it space-efficient for dense installations. Its rail-mountable form factor allows secure attachment to standard DIN rails, which is common in industrial and telecom rack environments. The lightweight design at 4.23 oz simplifies handling and reduces load on mounting structures.

FAQ
What does the Perle SR-100-SFP media converter do?
The SR-100-SFP converts Fast Ethernet signals between copper twisted pair (100Base-TX) and fiber optic (100Base-X) media. It allows you to extend a copper-based network over fiber cabling, overcoming distance limitations and improving signal integrity in environments with electrical interference.
What types of fiber optic cables does this converter support?
It supports both single-mode and multimode fiber optic cables through the use of industry-standard SFP modules. The converter itself has an empty SFP slot, so you can insert compatible SFP transceivers tailored to your specific fiber type and connector requirements, such as LC or SC interfaces.
What is the maximum distance this media converter can support?
The maximum supported distance is 0.10 kilometers (0.06 miles). This range applies to the fiber optic segment when using appropriate SFP modules; the copper segment typically follows standard Ethernet distance limits. The converter is designed for moderate-distance extensions where direct copper runs are impractical.
How is the Perle SR-100-SFP powered?
It uses an AC adapter for primary power, but also offers triple power input flexibility with dual terminal block connectors and T-Bus support. This redundancy allows for alternative power sourcing in industrial or critical environments where backup or distributed power is necessary for continuous operation.
Can this converter be mounted in a standard rack?
Yes, it features a rail-mountable form factor designed for attachment to DIN rails, which are commonly used in network cabinets, industrial control panels, and telecommunications racks. Its compact size and lightweight construction make it suitable for high-density installations without occupying excessive space.
What advanced networking features does the SR-100-SFP include?
It includes Link Pass-Through, which maintains link status across segments; Far-End Fault detection to identify and signal remote link failures; and Auto-MDIX, which automatically configures straight-through or crossover cable connections. These features reduce manual configuration and help isolate faults quickly in deployed networks.
