Media Converter Application

The Perle CM-100MM-S2SC20 is a managed Fast Ethernet fiber-to-fiber converter module. It links 100BASE-FX 1310 nm multimode SC connections spanning 2 km to 100BASE-LX 1310 nm single-mode SC connections spanning 20 km. Network engineers use it to extend multimode segments over longer single-mode runs. It supports managed or unmanaged operation.

Thermal and Power Profile

The unit is a compact module designed for chassis installation. Passive cooling handles the low power draw of Fast Ethernet optics without audible fan noise. Normal operation stays within the thermal envelope of standard Perle chassis slots. No external power adapter is required when mounted in a powered chassis.

Reach Conversion Constraint

This converter only bridges the specific multimode 2 km and single-mode 20 km distances at 1310 nm. It cannot connect links with different reaches, wavelengths or connector types. Buyers needing other distance pairs or connector styles must select a different module.

Questions about this item

How do I install the CM-100MM-S2SC20 module in a Perle Media Converter chassis?

Slide the module into an open bay of a compatible Perle Media Converter chassis until it locks into the backplane connector; the step often missed is confirming the chassis management software detects the module before cabling.

What maintenance or replacement will the CM-100MM-S2SC20 need over time?

Clean the SC connectors with a lint-free wipe and isopropyl alcohol whenever signal loss appears; the module itself has no user-serviceable parts, so a hardware fault means replacing the entire CM-100MM-S2SC20 unit.

At what distance does the multimode side of the CM-100MM-S2SC20 hit its limit first?

The 100BASE-FX multimode link is rated for 2 km (1.2 miles), so that side reaches its maximum reach before the 20 km (12.4 miles) single-mode side.
