Description
The Perle SMI-100-S2ST80 Fast Ethernet Managed Standalone Media Converter provides a reliable, cost-effective solution for extending Ethernet networks over long distances. Designed to transparently connect 100Base-TX copper (RJ45) to 100Base-FX single-mode fiber (ST, 1550nm), this converter supports distances of up to 80km (49.7 miles).
Equipped with advanced management capabilities, including SNMP, CLI (Telnet/SSH), secure HTTPS web management, and PerleVIEW, network administrators gain full visibility and control of fiber links. Features such as Link Pass-Through, Far-End Fault, Auto-MDIX, VLAN transparency, and advanced loopback diagnostics ensure uptime, simplify troubleshooting, and minimize data loss.
With enterprise-grade security (TACACS+, RADIUS, LDAP, SNMPv3, SSH), strong encryption algorithms, and multiple user authentication methods, the SMI-100 is ideal for mission-critical networks in data centers, service providers, and enterprise infrastructures. Backed by a lifetime warranty and free worldwide technical support, Perle ensures long-term value and reliability.
