FAQ
What does this media converter actually convert between?
The Perle C-110-M1SC2D converts between traditional twisted pair copper Ethernet (using an RJ-45 port) and fiber optic connections (using an SC port). It translates electrical signals from copper cabling to optical signals for fiber transmission, and vice versa, enabling seamless communication between these different media types within a Fast Ethernet network.
What is the maximum distance this converter supports over fiber?
This converter supports fiber optic connections up to 2 kilometers (approximately 1.24 miles) when using multi-mode fiber optic cable. This significantly extends network reach beyond the 100-meter limitation of standard twisted pair copper cabling, making it ideal for connecting buildings or network segments across larger physical areas.
What type of fiber optic cable does this converter work with?
The converter is compatible with multi-mode fiber optic cables featuring SC connectors. It operates with wavelengths of 1310 nm and 1550 nm, which are standard for multi-mode fiber installations. This makes it suitable for most enterprise and industrial fiber deployments where multi-mode fiber is commonly used for shorter to medium-distance connections.
How is this media converter installed and powered?
The C-110-M1SC2D features an internal form factor, meaning it's designed for installation inside compatible networking equipment such as media converter chassis, switches, or routers that support internal modules. It draws power directly from the host equipment through its internal connection, eliminating the need for external power adapters or separate power sources.
What network speeds does this converter support?
This converter supports Fast Ethernet technology with data transfer rates up to 100 Mbps. It is compatible with both 10Base-TX and 100Base-TX standards on the copper side and 100Base-BX on the fiber side. This makes it suitable for extending legacy Fast Ethernet networks or segments where Gigabit speeds are not required.
What warranty coverage does Perle provide for this product?
Perle backs the C-110-M1SC2D media converter with a lifetime limited warranty. This warranty coverage provides long-term protection against manufacturing defects and ensures reliable performance throughout the product's operational life. The converter is also manufactured in Canada with environmentally friendly design considerations.
