Perle CM-1110-S2LC120 - Fiber media converter - GigE - 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, 1000Base-T, 1000Base-EZX - RJ-45 / LC single-mode - up to 74.6 miles - 1550 nm

Smart link pass-through. When the link mode switch is placed into smart link pass-through mode, the copper Ethernet 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. Auto-negotiation (802.3u). The media converter supports auto negotiation. The 1000Base-X fiber interface negotiates according to 802.3 clause 37. The 10/100/1000Base-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 until the copper is linked up and the HCDs match. 10BaseT extended distance. Normal/extended - default normal. By configuring as "extended", the 10BaseT receiver sensitivity is increased providing the possibility of an 10BaseT connection greater than 100 m. Pause (IEEE 802.3xy). 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 10/100/1000Base-T connection and 1000Base-X fiber connection. Backup and restore. Provides fast and easy module replacement. Management module will always save a copy of the media converter configuration and will restore this configuration automatically to the media module when it is detected in the slot Auto-MDIX. Auto-MDIX (automatic medium-dependant interface crossover) detects the signaling on the copper Ethernet interface to determine the type of cable connected 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 120 ns of delay skew between the 1000Base-T pairs. Detailed port statistics. To assist in troubleshooting copper and fiber links, an extensive list of ingress and egress counters for both copper and fiber ports are available. These statistics can be viewed locally via the management module or from a central SNMP NMS on the network 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. Auto copper downshift. Automatically detects a 2-pair cable environment and downshifts operation of the link to 100 Mbps. Configure the number of times (0-8) that the PHY will attempt to establish a successful gigabit link before attempting to "downshift" as an auto-negotiating 10/100 device.
