Description
The Perle CM-1000-S2LC160 Managed Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter Module provides a high-performance, reliable solution for extending copper-based networks over single-mode fiber up to 160 km (100 miles). Designed for installation in a Perle high-density Media Converter Chassis, this managed module transparently connects 1000Base-T copper RJ45 to 1000Base-BX 1550nm LC fiber, ensuring seamless integration into enterprise and carrier-grade networks.
With advanced features such as Auto-Negotiation, Auto-MDIX, Smart Link Pass-Through, Fiber Fault Alert, and Loopback, IT administrators gain full visibility and control of network links, reducing on-site maintenance and troubleshooting. Integration with the MCR-MGT Management Module enables configuration and monitoring via SNMP, CLI, Telnet/SSH, or PerleVIEW centralized management software.
Built for mission-critical applications, the CM-1000-S2LC160 supports VLANs, jumbo packets, duplex modes, pause signaling, and auto-negotiation to meet modern networking demands. Backed by Perle’s lifetime warranty and free worldwide technical support, it is the smart choice for organizations needing secure, long-distance fiber extension with dependable management capabilities.
