S-100MM Fiber to Fiber Features: 100Base-FX to 100Base-X

Link Pass-Through

When enabled, the state of the receiver on one 100Base-X interface is reflected on the other 100Base-X fiber transmitter.

If disabled, the 100Base-X fiber interfaces operate independently. Far-End Fault indication on the 100Base-X fiber interface has no effect on the other interface.

Using Link Pass-Through with Far-End Fault minimizes data loss when a fault occurs. If a fault occurs, the end devices have the indication of a failure available to making trouble shooting easier.
Far-End Fault (FEF)

When enabled, the media converter transmits the Far-End Fault Indication over the fiber connection whenever a receive failure is detected. The media converter continuously monitors the fiber connection and clears the Far-End Fault Indication condition when a valid signal is received.

When disabled, Far-End Fault Indications are not transmitted regardless of the condition of the receive signal on the 100Base-X fiber connection.

The action the media converter takes on receiving a Far-End Fault Indication is dependent on the Link Pass-Through switch setting.
Signal Regeneration Signal regeneration maintains signal integrity and allows for maximum fiber to fiber connections without degradation.
Cascading Media converters can be cascaded. Two or more media converters can be chained in a link to achieve even greater distances.
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 fast ethernet media converter supports pause negotiation on the 100Base-TX copper connection.
VLAN The media converter is transparent to VLAN tagged packets.
Remote Loopback The media converter can perform a loopback on each 100Base-X fiber interface.

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 slowly when in Loopback test mode.
Fiber link 1 / Receive activity (LK1) This green LED is operational only when power is applied. The LED is on when the 100Base-X link is on and flashes with a 50% duty cycle when data is received.
Fiber link 2 on / Receive activity (LK2) This green LED is operational only when power is applied. The LED is on when the 100Base-X link is on and flashes with a 50% duty cycle when data is received.
Switches - accessible through a side opening in the chassis
Link Pass Through Enabled (Default) - When the state of the receiver is changed on one of the 100Base-X interfaces it is reflected on the other 100Base-X fiber transmitter. If disabled, the 100Base-X fiber interfaces operate independently. Far-End Fault indication on the 100Base-FX fiber interface has no effect on the other interface.
Far-End Fault (FEF) Enabled (default) - The media converter transmits the Far-End Fault Indication over the fiber connection whenever a receive failure is detected. The media converter continuously monitors the fiber connection and clears the Far-End Fault Indication condition when a valid signal is received.

Enabled - The 100Base-X receiver is looped to the 100Base-X transmitter. Link #2's fiber transmitter is taken off the interface.

Remote Loopback #1 The media converter can perform a loopback on the link #1 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.

Remote Loopback #2 The media converter can perform a loopback on the link #1 fiber interface.

Disabled (Default - Up)

Enabled - The 100Base-X receiver is looped to the 100Base-X transmitter. Link #1's fiber transmitter is taken off the interface.

Fast Ethernet Fiber Switch to Fiber Switch

Extend the network distance between two Fast Ethernet Fiber switches
Two Fast Ethernet Media Converters can extend the distance between Fiber Switches across a fiber link up to 120km in length.

Fast Ethernet Fiber Switch to Fiber Switch Diagram
Single Mode / Single Fiber

Connect fiber 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 fiber to fiber conversion. Perle Single Fiber Media Converters are also referred to as “Up/Down” models. For example the S-100MM-S1SC20U (“Up”) and S-100MM-S1SC20D (“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.

Single Mode Fiber Diagram S-100MM-S1SC20US-100MM-S1SC20D


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 fiber 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.
