Description
The Perle SMI-100-S2LC120 Fast Ethernet IP Managed Standalone Media Converter enables seamless extension of copper Ethernet networks to single-mode fiber connections up to 120km (74.6 miles). Designed for enterprise and carrier-grade environments, it converts 100Base-TX RJ45 copper to 100Base-BZX 1550nm single-mode LC fiber while offering complete transparency for VLAN packets.
This advanced converter supports SNMP, CLI (Telnet/SSH), web browser access, and PerleVIEW centralized management, giving IT professionals secure and flexible monitoring capabilities. With features such as Link Pass-Through, Far-End Fault detection, Auto-MDIX, pause negotiation, and loopback modes, network uptime is maximized, and troubleshooting is simplified.
Enterprise-class authentication and encryption protocols (TACACS+, RADIUS, LDAP, SNMPv3, SSH, HTTPS) ensure secure deployment across sensitive environments. Backed by Perle’s lifetime warranty and worldwide technical support, the SMI-100-S2LC120 provides a reliable, cost-effective solution for extending and managing mission-critical fiber links.
