Installed in a high density Perle Media Converter Chassis, Perle's line of feature rich Managed Gigabit Media Converter Modules transparently connect copper to fiber. Our Gigabit Ethernet to Fiber 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.

Network Administrators can "see-everything" with Perle's advanced features such as Auto-Negotiation, Auto-MDIX, Link Pass-Through, Fiber Fault Alert, and Loopback. Along with a Media Converter Management Module in the chassis, configuration and monitoring of the copper and fiber ports can be performed. 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 managed gigabit ethernet converter modules the smart choice for IT professionals.

For those environments requiring a medium to large-scale deployment of media converters, a centralized platform that simplifies the configuration, administration, monitoring, and troubleshooting of this gear is recommended. PerleVIEW Device Management software is a multi-user, Windows server-based application that delivers this level of Enterprise-grade solution.

Backup and Restore	Provides fast and easy module replacement. Management module will always save a copy of the media converter configuration and will restore this configuration automatically to the media module when it is detected in the slot
Auto-Negotiation (802.3ab)	The media converter supports auto negotiation. The 1000Base-X fiber interface negotiates according to 802.3 clause 37. The 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 with Skew Correction	Auto-MDIX (automatic medium-dependant interface crossover) detects the signaling on the 1000Base-T 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 64ns 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 1000Base-T 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 802.3x)	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 1000Base-T fiber connection and 1000Base-X fiber connection. Select Symmetrical, asymmetrical TX or asymmetrical RX
Duplex	Full and half duplex operation supported.
Jumbo Packets	Transparent to jumbo packets up to 10KB-default. Jumbo packet support can be disabled.
VLAN	Transparent to VLAN tagged packets. Default Jumbo packet can be disabled.
Remote Loopback	Capable of performing a loopback on the 1000Base-X fiber interface.

High Density Fiber Distribution from UTP Switch Equipment at Corporate Headquarters
In this enterprise campus application, up to 18 Perle CM-1000 Gigabit to Fiber Media Converters are installed in the MCR1900 Media Converter Chassis. The 19th slot in the chassis is filled the MCR-MGT Management Module. All media converts in the chassis are managed by SNMP, Telnet or an internet browser interface. A remote fiber enabled Ethernet switch is connected directly to the central MCR1900 Chassis. A standalone S-1000 Media Converter converts the fiber to Ethernet in a fiber-to-desktop application. Another S-1000 Fiber Media Converter is connected to a remote office Ethernet switch. In all cases, multimode or single-mode fiber can be used. Fiber links can be extended up to 120km using single-mode fiber.
Ethernet to Fiber in a Campus Network
The use of chassis-based media converters is a cost effective means in providing fiber connectivity in a campus network. By consolidating Ethernet to fiber conversion in a rack mount media converter chassis, various types of fiber links can be brought into a single wiring closet platform. This simplifies deployment and maintenance and also provides a scalable means to grow your network as needed.
Managed Ethernet over Fiber Links
Manage your copper to fiber link with an MCR200 chassis housing a media converter and management module. Ideal for use in managed networks with low density fiber applications, this Managed Media Converter is connected across a fiber link to a remote media converter. The copper or fiber link on the managed standalone unit can provide vital information and status to network management tools such as SNMP.
Extend between two TP Gigabit Switches
Extend the network distance between two twisted pair Gigabit Switches Two Gigabit Ethernet Media Converters can extend the distance between 1000Base-T Switches across a fiber link up to 120Km in length.
Switch to Gigabit Server
Extend the network distance between a Gigabit Switche and a Gigabit File Server Two Gigabit Ethernet Media Converters can extend the distance between a 1000Base-T Switch and a Gigabit File Server across a fiber link up to 120Km in length.
Gigabit Mode-Conditioning Adapters - More Distance
Extend Gigabit to 550m over 62.5 micron Multimode Fiber Gigabit across 62.5 micron MMF cable is normally limited to 275 meters. By adding mode-conditioning adapters and 1000baseLX media converters you can extend the distance up to 550 meters on MMF cable plant.
Gigabit Mode-Conditioning Adapters – 1000Base-LX
Installing Gigabit 1000Base-LX routers and switches into existing multimode cable plants Using mode-conditioning adapters and a 1000Base-LX media converter, connect a copper based Gigabit Switch with a remote 1000base-LX switch/router over existing multimode cable plant.
Fast Ethernet UTP Switch to File Server
Extend the network distance between switches and file servers Two Fast Ethernet Media Converters can extend the distance between UTP Switches and remote file servers across fiber links up to 120km in length.
Enterprise Infrastructure
Enterprise Infrastructure using Fiber Optics Create a fiber infrastructure for your enterprise network without any wholesale replacement of existing copper-based equipment.
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 CM-1000-S1SC10U (“Up”) and CM-1000-S1SC10D (“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. CM-1000-S1SC10UCM-1000-S1SC10D 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.
