Gigabit SFP Media Converters
- 1000Base-T to 1000Base-X Fiber SFP Media Converters
- Advanced features - Smart Link Pass-Through, Fiber Fault Alert, Auto-MDIX and Loopback
- Empty slot for Cisco and other industry standard Gigabit Fiber SFPs
Perle's line of feature rich Gigabit SFP Media Converters transparently connect Gigabit copper to SFP for multimode or single mode 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. The pluggable fiber optics port allows for flexible network configurations using SFP transceivers supplied by Perle, Cisco or other manufacturers of MSA compliant SFPs.
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 Gigabit SFP Converters the smart choice for IT professionals.
Gigabit SFP Media Converter Features
| 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. |
| 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. |

| 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 1000Base-X link is on and flashes with a 50% duty cycle when data is received. The LED will slow blink when the 1000Base-X interface has been taken down as a result of a fault on the 1000Base-T interface. |
| Copper link on / Receive activity (LKC) | This green LED is operational only when power is applied. The LED is on when the 1000Base-T link is on and flashes with a 50% duty cycle when data is received. The LED will slow blink when the 1000Base-T interface has been taken down as a result of a fault on the 1000Base-T interface. |
| Switches - accessible through a side opening in the chassis | |
| Auto-Negotiation | Enabled (Default - Up) In this mode the 1000Base-X and the 1000Base-T will negotiate to the HCD of the two link partners. The 1000Base-X will link up after the negotiation is completed and the 1000Base-T has linked up.
Disabled - The 1000Base-X will not use auto negotiation. The 1000Base-T will negotiate to the HCD of the Switch settings and the link partner. |
| Link Mode | Link Mode provides a transparency to the state of the copper link allowing for simplified trouble shooting from the devices connected to the media converter.
Normal (Default - Up) With Fiber Auto Negotiation disabled the state of the 1000Base-T link has no effect on the 1000Base-X link. Smart Link Pass Through (Down) With Fiber Auto-Negotiation disabled the behavior is as follows. When the 1000Base-T receiver is off the 1000Base-X transmitter will be turned off. When the 1000Base-X receiver goes off the 1000Base-T transmitter will be turned off. |
| Pause | When Fiber Auto Negotiation is disabled Pause should only be enabled when all devices connected to the media converter support pause.
Enabled(Default) - The Media converter will advertise Pause capable, Asymmetric pause not needed during Auto-Negotiation. Disabled - The Media converter will advertise that it does not have Pause capability during Auto-Negotiation. |
| Fiber Fault Alert | The Fiber Fault Alert switch has meaning when Auto-Negotiation is disabled
Enabled (Default - Up) Disabled (Down) |
| Duplex | Full (Default-Up) - The media converter will advertise Full Duplex Capable, Half Duplex Capable.
AUTO (Down) -The Media converter will advertise Full Duplex Not Capable, Half Duplex Capable. |
| Remote Loopback | The media converter can perform a loopback on the 1000Base-X fiber interface.
Disabled (Default - Up) Enabled - The 1000Base-X receiver is looped to the 1000Base-X transmitter. The 1000Base-T transmitter is taken off the interface. |
