Description
The Perle CM-100-S2ST80 Managed Fast Ethernet Media Converter Module provides a seamless copper-to-fiber connection, extending network reach up to 80km (49.7 miles). Designed for installation in high-density Perle Media Converter Chassis, this module supports 100Base-TX to 100Base-FX conversions with both managed and unmanaged operation modes.
With advanced networking features such as Auto-Negotiation, Auto-MDIX, Link Pass-Through, Far End Fault, Pause, and VLAN transparency, IT administrators can ensure reliable connectivity and simplified troubleshooting. When paired with a Media Converter Management Module or PerleVIEW centralized software, administrators gain robust SNMP, CLI, and web-based management tools for configuration, monitoring, and firmware updates.
The CM-100-S2ST80 offers enterprise-grade scalability, reliability, and cost savings by reducing downtime and extending the life of non-fiber-based equipment. Backed by Perle’s lifetime warranty and free worldwide technical support, it’s the smart choice for high-performance network environments.
