S-110 Media and Rate Converter
10/100Base-TX to 100Base-X Conversion

- 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-X Fiber Media Converters
- Extend network distances up to 120km
- Advanced features - Link Pass-Through, Far-End Fault, Auto-MDIX and Loopback
Perle's line of feature rich 10/100 Rate Converting to Fiber Media Converters transparently connect 10/100 Ethernet to fiber. Our 10/100 converters provide an economical path to extend the distance of an existing network, the life of non-fiber based equipment, or the distance between two devices. S-110 Media Converters are also available with support for Power over Ethernet (PoE) and Extended Temperature ranges.
Network Administrators can "see-everything" with Perle's advanced features such as Auto-Negotiation, Auto-MDIX, Link Pass-Through, Far End Fault, and Remote 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 10/100 ethernet media converters the smart choice for IT professionals.
Media Converter 10/100 to Fiber Features
Auto-Negotiation (802.3u) | The media converter supports auto negotiation on the 10/100Base-TX interface. |
Auto-MDIX | Auto-MDIX (automatic medium-dependant interface crossover) detects the signaling on the UTP interface to determine the type of cable connected (straight-through or crossover) and automatically configures the connection when enabled. With Auto-MDIX enabled, either a straight-through or crossover type cable can be used to connect the media converter to the device on the other end of the cable. |
Link Pass-Through |
With Link Pass-Through the state of the UTP
receiver is passed to the fiber transmitter
to make the media converter appear transparent
to the end devices that are connected. In addition
if Far-End Fault is enabled the media converter
can turn off the 10/100Base-TX transmitter when
a FAR-End Fault is received. Using Link Pass-Through with Far-End Fault minimizes data loss when a fault occurs. Should a fault occur, the end devices have the indication of a failure available to them making trouble shooting easier. |
Far-End Fault (FEF) |
The media converter implements the 802.3 standard for Far-End Fault for the indication and detection of remote fault conditions on the 100Base-X fiber connection. With Far-End Fault enabled the media converter transmits the Far-End Fault Indication over the 100Base-X fiber connection whenever a receive failure is detected on the 100Base-X fiber connection. The media converter continuously monitors the100Base-X fiber connection for a valid signal. The action the media converter takes on receiving a Far-End Fault Indication is dependent on the Link Pass-Through switch setting. |
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 10/100Base-TX copper connection. |
VLAN | The media converter is transparent to VLAN tagged packets. |
Remote LoopBack | The media converter is capable of performing a loopback on the fiber port. |

Indicators | |
Power / TST | This green LED is turned on when power is applied to the media converter. Otherwise it is off. The LED will blink when in Loopback test mode. |
Fiber link on / Receive activity (LKF) | This green LED is operational only when power is applied. The LED is on when the 100Base-FX link is on and flashes with a 50% duty cycle when data is received. |
Copper link on / Receive activity (LKC) | This green LED is operational only when power is applied. The LED is on when the 100Base-TX link is on and flashes with a 50% duty cycle when data is received. |
Fiber Duplex (FDF) | This green LED is operational only when power is applied. The LED is on when the 100Base-FX link is operatinal in full duplex mode. The LED is off when in half duplex. |
Copper Duplex (FDC) | This green LED is operational only when power is applied. The LED is on when the 10/100Base-TX link is operatinal in full duplex mode. The LED is off when in half duplex. |
10/100 Speed | This green LED is operational only when power is applied. The LED is on when the speed of the copper Ethernet port is running at 100 MBPS. The LED is off when in 10 MBPS |
Switches - accessible through a side opening in the chassis | |
Auto-Negotiation (802.3u) | Enabled (Default) - The media converter
uses 802.3u Auto-negotiation on the 100Base-TX interface. It is set to
advertise full duplex.
Disabled - The media converter sets the port according to the position of the speed and duplex switches. |
Link Pass Through | Enabled (Default) - When the state of the receiver is changed on the 100Base-TX interface it is reflected on the 100Base-FX fiber transmitter. When the state of the receiver on the 100Base-FX interface is changed it is reflected on the 100Base-TX transmitter.
When a Far-End Fault Indication is received on the fiber interface the 100Base-TX transmitter is turned off. When the Far-End Fault Indication is cleared the transmitter is turned back on. Disabled - The 100Base-TX and the 100Base-FX fiber interface operate independently. Far-End Fault indication on the 100Base-FX fiber interface has no effect on the 100Base-TX interface. |
Far-End Fault (FEF) | Enabled (Default) - The media converter transmits the Far-End Fault Indication over the 100Base-X fiber connection whenever a receive failure is detected on the 100Base-X fiber connection. The media converter continuously monitors the100Base-X fiber connection and clears the Far-End Fault Indication condition when a valid signal is received.
Disabled - Far-End Fault Indications are not transmitted regardless of the condition of the receive signal on the 100Base-FX fiber connection. |
Remote Loopback | The media converter can perform a loopback on the 100Base-X fiber interface.
Disabled (Default - Up) Enabled - The 100Base-X receiver is looped to the 100Base-X transmitter. The 100Base-TX transmitter is taken off the interface. |
Auto-MDIX (Internal Strap) |
If Auto-Negotiation (802.3u) is enabled, the media converter uses the HP Auto-MDIX method for the 100Base-TX interface. If Auto-Negotiation (802.3u) is disabled the Media converter will use the RX Energy method on the 100Base-TX interface to set the port MDI or MDIX whichever is appropriate.
Enabled (Default) - Either a straight-through or crossover type cable can be used to connect the media converter to the device on the other end of the cable. Disabled - If the partner device on the other end of the cable does not have the Auto-MDIX feature a specific cable, either a straight-through or crossover will be required to ensure that the media converter's transmitter and the partner devices transmitter are connected to the others receiver. The Media converter's 100Base-TX port is configured as MDI-X with this switch setting. |
