Media Converter Role

The Perle 05060184 S-100Mm-S1Sc40D is a Fast Ethernet fiber-to-fiber media converter designed for network integrators extending links between dissimilar fiber types. It bridges multimode and single-mode infrastructure in campus or enterprise environments.

Sustained Link Behaviour

The unit converts 100BASE-FX 1310 nm multimode signals with a 2 km reach to 100Base-BX 1550 nm TX and 1310 nm RX single-strand single-mode signals reaching 40 km. It maintains this translation continuously without protocol conversion or buffering.

Single-Mode Distance Decider

The 40 km single-mode reach on a single SC strand is the specification that determines whether this converter fits the link budget. Buyers needing longer single-mode distances or dual-strand connectors must select a different model.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power does the 100BASE-FX media converter generate when running continuously?

The unit is a compact 100BASE-FX fiber-to-fiber converter with no internal fan, so it produces minimal heat and draws low power suitable for all-day operation.

What fiber patch cables and power source are needed to connect the SC multimode and single-strand single-mode ports?

You need an SC duplex multimode patch cable for the 1310 nm side and an SC single-strand single-mode patch cable for the 1550 nm TX/1310 nm RX side, plus a standard USA power cord.

Will the 100 Mbps converter work alongside older 10 Mbps Ethernet equipment on the same network segment?

The converter operates at 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet speeds and does not auto-negotiate down to 10 Mbps, so legacy 10 Mbps devices cannot share the same fiber link.
