Fast-Ethernet Copper-to-Fiber Transceiver

The Perle C-100-M2LC2 converts a single 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 port to 100Base-FX over LC duplex fiber. It is built for network administrators who need to extend legacy Fast Ethernet links beyond copper distance limits. The module installs in a high-density Perle Media Converter Chassis for rack-mounted deployments.

Sustained Link Transparency

Auto-negotiation and auto-MDIX handle speed and polarity without manual setup, while link pass-through and far-end fault propagate link status across the fiber segment. Pause frame support preserves flow control during continuous traffic, so the converter does not become a bottleneck under prolonged load. These features keep the end-to-end connection transparent for troubleshooting.

Chassis and Fiber Compatibility Check

Verify that a Perle Media Converter Chassis with a free slot is available for installation. Confirm the remote endpoint uses 100Base-FX optics with LC duplex connectors and that the fiber run does not exceed 1.24 mile. Ensure the copper side operates at 10 or 100 Mbps, as gigabit speeds are not supported.

Questions about this item

Does the 100Base-FX transceiver generate noticeable heat or noise during continuous 24-hour operation?

The module has no moving parts and runs passively, so it adds minimal heat and produces no audible noise inside a Perle Media Converter Chassis.

What chassis and fiber patch cable must I already have to install this C-100-M2LC2 module?

You need a compatible Perle Media Converter Chassis with an open slot and a duplex LC multimode fiber patch cable to reach the 1.24 mile distance.

Will this 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX converter work with my existing 10 Mbps hubs and switches?

Yes, the RJ-45 port auto-negotiates down to 10 Mbps half or full duplex, so legacy 10Base-T equipment connects transparently.
