Managed Fast Ethernet Converter

The Perle CM-100-M2SC2 is a managed Fast Ethernet media converter module designed for network administrators who need to extend copper links over fibre. It bridges 100BASE-TX and 100BASE-FX segments in managed or unmanaged configurations. This unit suits infrastructure teams maintaining legacy 100 Mbps links.

SC Multimode Fibre Interface

The module converts 100BASE-TX (RJ-45) at 100 m to 100BASE-FX 1310 nm multimode (SC) at 2 km. This specific wavelength and connector combination determines compatibility with existing fibre patch panels and patch cords. Buyers needing single-mode reach or a different connector type cannot use this module.

Slide-In Module Installation

The converter installs as a slide-in module within a compatible Perle chassis, requiring no tools beyond a screwdriver for the retaining screw. Common issues arise when the chassis slot is already populated or when the management software version does not recognise the module firmware. Verify chassis compatibility before purchase.

Questions about this item

What does the 2 km range mean once the converter is installed?

The 100BASE-FX 1310nm multimode SC link reaches up to 2 km, so a single module can bridge two buildings or floors without intermediate switches.

What does the SC connector cap in practice?

The SC duplex connector carries 100BASE-FX at 1310 nm over multimode fibre, limiting the link to 100 Mbps full-duplex at the stated 2 km distance.

What does the module need to fit inside a chassis?

It slides into a Perle Media Converter chassis slot and connects to the backplane, requiring no separate power supply or rack ears.
