Managed Gigabit Media Converter Mount

The Perle SMI-1000-M2ST2 is a managed Gigabit media converter that bridges 1000BASE-T copper networks to 1000BASE-LX fibre links. It accepts an RJ-45 connection up to 100 m and extends the signal over 1310 nm multimode fibre with an ST connector up to 2 km. The unit includes a USA power cord for immediate deployment.

Network Teams Extending Copper Runs

This converter suits administrators who need to push a Gigabit link beyond the standard copper distance limit using existing multimode fibre plant. It is not intended for single-mode fibre environments, for links requiring SFP flexibility, or for unmanaged plug-and-play installations where configuration access is unnecessary.

1000BASE-LX 1310 nm ST Multimode Reach

The decisive specification is the 1000BASE-LX 1310 nm extended multimode interface with an ST connector delivering a 2 km reach. Confirm that your fibre patch cables and patch panels use ST connectors and that the link budget matches this wavelength and distance before purchase.
