The S-1110-XT Industrial Temperature Media Converters address the need for transparently connecting 10/100/1000 Ethernet equipment that operate in extreme temperatures to fiber optic cable. The S-1110-XT Media Converters will operate in industrial grade temperatures of -40°F to +167°F (-40°C to +75°C). Equipment found in traffic management, oil and gas pipelines, weather tracking, industrial and outdoor applications must function in temperatures that cannot be supported by a commercial based media converter. Boasting this extended temperature feature along with a rugged steel casing, the S-1110-XT Media Converter provides an economical path to extend the distance between two industrial devices subjected to harsh environments and severe temperatures such as security cameras, wireless access points, alarms, traffic controllers, sensors and tracking devices.

Network Administrators can "see-everything" with Perle's advanced features such as Auto-Negotiation, Auto-MDIX, Link Pass-Through, Fiber Fault Alert, and Loopback. This allows for more efficient troubleshooting and less on-site maintenance. These cost and time saving features, along with a lifetime warranty and free worldwide technical support, make Perle's S-1110-XT Industrial Temperature 10/100/1000 Media Converters the smart choice for IT professionals.

S-1110-XT 10/100/1000 to Fiber Industrial Temperature Media Converter Features

Auto-Negotiation (802.3u)	The media converter supports auto negotiation. The 1000Base-X fiber interface negotiates according to 802.3 clause 37. The 10/100/1000Base-T negotiates according to 802.3 clause 28 and 40. The 1000Base-X will link up with its partner after the highest common denominator (HCD) is reached and the copper has linked up with its partner. The 1000Base-X will continue to cycle through negotiation transmitting a remote fault of offline (provided this is enabled through the switch setting) until the copper is linked up and the HCDs match. The media converter supports auto-negotiation of full duplex, half duplex, remote fault, full duplex pause, asymmetric pause and Auto MDI-X.
Auto-MDIX	Auto-MDIX (automatic medium-dependant interface crossover) detects the signaling on the copper ethernet interface to determine the type of cable connected (straight-through or crossover) and automatically configures the connection when enabled. The media converter can also correct for wires swapped within a pair. The media converter will adjust for up to 120ns of delay skew between the 1000Base-T pairs.
Smart Link Pass-Through	When the Link Mode switch is placed into Smart Link Pass-Through mode, the copper ethernet port will reflect the state of the 1000Base-X media converter port. This feature can be used whether fiber auto-negotiation is enabled or disabled.
Fiber Fault Alert	With Fiber Fault Alert the state of the 1000Base-X receiver is passed to the 1000Base-X transmitter. This provides fault notification to the partner device attached to the 1000Base-X interface of the media converter. If the 1000Base-X transmitter is off as a result of this fault it will be turned on periodically to allow the condition to clear should the partner device on the 1000Base-X be using a similar technique. This eliminates the possibility of lockouts that occur with some media converters. Applies only when fiber auto-negotiation is disabled.
Pause (IEEE 802.3xy)	Pause signaling is an IEEE feature that temporarily suspends data transmission between two devices in the event that one of the devices becomes overwhelmed. The media converter supports pause negotiation on the 10/100/1000Base-T connection and 1000Base-X fiber connection.
Duplex	Full and half duplex operation supported.
Jumbo Packets	Transparent to jumbo packets up to 10KB.
VLAN	Transparent to VLAN tagged packets.
Remote Loopback	Capable of performing a loopback on the 1000Base-X fiber interface.

Fast Ethernet to IP Cameras

Connect 10/100/1000 IP Cameras to Fast Ethernet Backbone

Extend the reach to IP cameras using industrial fiber media converters. Security cameras are typically installed in remote locations where extremely high or low temperatures are a concern -- ceilings, rooftops, light poles, along fences, pipelines and transit routes.

Stand-alone Extended Temperature Media Converters are placed at the remote end connecting cameras with copper interfaces to fiber optic cabling. The fiber can extend the distance up to 20 kilometers using single mode or multimode fiber back to a control center. A media converter chassis located in the data closet at the control center accepts the fiber signal, converts it, and connects to the copper equipment at the main site.

Fast Ethernet Fiber to Wireless Access Points

Connect 10/100/1000 Wireless Access Points to Fast Ethernet Backbone

Extend the reach to wireless access points ( AP ) using fiber media converters. When a company deploys a wireless network in their office or large warehouse, APs need to be set up throughout the facility to ensure complete coverage for reliability. The network manager will likely need to extend further than the 100 meters allowed by copper cable to reach many of the APs.

When APs are used in industrial environments where extremely high or low temperatures are a concern, Stand-alone Extended Temperature Media Converters are placed at the remote end connecting APs with copper interfaces to fiber optic cabling. The fiber can extend the distance up to 20 kilometers using single mode or multimode fiber back to a control center. A media converter chassis located in the data closet at the control center accepts the fiber signal, converts it, and connects to the copper equipment at the main site.

Single Mode / Single Fiber

Connect copper ports over a single fiber strand ( also referred to as “Bi-Directional” BiDi )

When Single Strand fiber is used, a pair of Single Fiber Media Converters is needed for the copper to fiber conversion. Perle Single Fiber Media Converters are also referred to as “Up/Down” models. For example the S-1110-S1SC10U-XT (“Up”) and S-1110-S1SC10D-XT (“Down”), shown below, must be used in pairs. An “Up” must be matched with a “Down” peer to deal with transmit and receive frequencies separately.

S-1110-S1SC10U-XTS-1110-S1SC10D-XT

The majority of installations for single mode fiber media converters are of the “dual connector” or “dual fiber” type where one fiber connection is used for transmit, the other for receive. These are physically “crossed” to match up the Transmit/Receive links.

However, to reduce costs, or where there are limits on available fiber, WDM technology may be utilized. WDM uses separate transmit and receive frequencies to communicate on a single fiber strand. WDM technology relies on the fact that optical fibers can carry many wavelengths of light simultaneously without interaction between each wavelength. Thus, a single fiber can carry many separate wavelength signals or channels simultaneously.

So remember, if Single Strand fiber is used, you will need an “Up” Media Converter on one side and a “Down” Media Converter on the other for copper to fiber conversion.

Perle offers a wide variety of Single Fiber (“Up/Down”) Media Converters to connect 10BaseT, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit to single fiber. Whether you need Managed or Unmanaged, Standalone or Modular Chassis Based, 20km or 120km, Perle has the right model to meet your fiber conversion requirement.
