Perle CM-1000-M2SC05 Media Converter Module

The Perle CM-1000-M2SC05 is a managed Gigabit media converter module designed for network administrators extending copper links over fibre. It converts 1000BASE-T RJ-45 signals to 1000BASE-SX 850nm multimode SC connections. The module supports managed or unmanaged operation modes for flexible deployment. It fits compatible Perle chassis systems for high-density installations.

1000BASE-T to 1000BASE-SX Conversion

This module bridges copper and fibre segments using SC connectors on the optical side. The 850nm multimode interface reaches 550 m or 1804 ft across OM2 fibre. The RJ-45 port handles 100 m or 328 ft on standard twisted pair cabling. Managed operation enables remote configuration and monitoring through the chassis management module. Unmanaged mode provides plug-and-play simplicity for basic link extension.

Chassis Compatibility and Power Requirements

Verify that your existing Perle chassis accepts CM-1000 series modules before ordering. Confirm the chassis provides sufficient power budget for the number of converter modules installed. Ensure the management module supports the features you require for monitored operation. Check that your fibre patch cables use SC connectors matching the module interface.

Questions about this item

Will the SC connector or RJ-45 port need replacement after extended use?

The SC multimode connector and RJ-45 port are passive interfaces; they do not have a defined replacement interval in the supplied data.

What distance limit is reached first on the fibre link during sustained traffic?

The 1000BASE-SX multimode link is rated for 550 m (1804 ft), while the copper side reaches 100 m (328 ft).

Does the module produce audible noise or significant heat when running continuously?

The CM-1000-M2SC05 has no moving parts and no fan, so it operates silently with minimal heat output.
