Overview

Installed in a high density Perle Media Converter Chassis, Perle’s line of feature rich Gigabit Media Converter Modules transparently connect copper to fiber.
Our Gigabit Ethernet to Fiber Converters provide an economical path to extend the distance of
an existing network, the life of non-fiber based equipment, or the distance between two devices.

Network Administrators can “see-everything” with
Perle’s advanced features such as Auto-Negotiation,
Auto-MDIX, Link Pass-Through, Fiber Fault Alert, and
Loopback. This allows for more efficient troubleshooting
and less on-site maintenance. These cost and time saving features, along with a lifetime warranty and free worldwide technical support, make Perle’s gigabit ethernet converter modules the smart choice for IT professionals.

Gigabit Media Converter Features

Auto-Negotiation (802.3ab) The media converter supports auto
negotiation. The 1000Base-X fiber interface negotiates
according to 802.3 clause 37. The 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 (provided this is enabled through
the switch setting) until the copper is linked
up and the HCDs match.

The media converter supports auto-negotiation of full duplex, half duplex, remote
fault, full duplex pause, asymmetric pause and Auto MDI-X.

Auto-MDIX with Skew Correction Auto-MDIX (automatic medium-dependant interface
crossover) detects the signaling on the 1000Base-T
interface to determine the type of cable connected
(straight-through or crossover) 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 64ns of delay skew between the 1000Base-T
pairs.

Smart Link Pass-Through When the Link Mode switch is placed into Smart
Link Pass-Through mode, the 1000Base-T 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.
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. Applies only when fiber auto-negotiation
is disabled.
Pause (IEEE 802.3x) 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 1000Base-T fiber connection
and 1000Base-X fiber connection.
Duplex Full and half
duplex operation supported.
Jumbo Packets Transparent to jumbo packets up to 10KB.
VLAN Transparent to VLAN
tagged packets.
Remote Loopback Capable of performing
a loopback on the 1000Base-X fiber interface.

Indicators
Power / TST This green LED is turned on when power is applied to the media converter. Otherwise it is off. The LED will blink when in Loopback test mode.
Fiber link on / Receive activity (LKF) This green LED is operational only when power is applied. The LED is on when the 1000Base-X link is on and flashes with a 50% duty cycle when data is received. The LED will slow blink when the 1000Base-X interface has been taken down as a result of a fault on the 1000Base-T interface.
Copper link on / Receive activity (LKC) This green LED is operational only when power is applied. The LED i on when the 1000Base-T link is on and flashes with a 50% duty cycle when data is received. The LED will slow blink when the 1000Base-T interface has been taken down as a result of a fault on the 1000Base-T interface.
Switches: On-Board
Auto-Negotiation Enabled (Default – Up) – In this mode the 1000Base-X and the 1000Base-T will negotiate to the HCD of the two link partners. The 1000Base-X will link up after the negotiation is completed and the 1000Base-T has linked up.

Disabled – The 1000Base-X will not use auto negotiation. The 1000Base-T will negotiate to the HCD of the Switch settings and the link partner.

Link Mode Link Mode provides a transparency to the state of the copper link allowing for simplified trouble shooting from the devices connected to the media converter.

Normal (Default – Up)
With Fiber Auto Negotiation enabled when the 1000Base-T link goes down the 1000Base-X link is brought down. The 1000Base-X link will advertise Remote Fault (Link Fault).

With Fiber Auto Negotiation disabled the state of the 1000Base-T link has no effect on the 1000Base-X link.

Smart Link Pass Through (Down)
With Fiber Auto Negotiation enabled the behavior is as follows. When the 1000Base-T link goes down the 1000Base-X link is brought down. The 1000Base-X link will advertise Remote Fault (Link Fault). When Remote Fault (Link Fault) is received on the 1000Base-X interface the 1000Base-T transmitter will be turned off. When the 1000Base-T receiver is off the 1000Base-X transmitter will be turned off. When the 1000Base-X receiver goes off the 1000Base-T transmitter will be turned off.

With Fiber Auto-Negotiation disabled the behavior is as follows. When the 1000Base-T receiver is off the 1000Base-X transmitter will be turned off. When the 1000Base-X receiver goes off the 1000Base-T transmitter will be turned off.

Pause When Fiber Auto Negotiation is disabled Pause should only be enabled when all devices connected to the media converter support pause.

Enabled(Default) – The Media converter will advertise Pause capable, Asymmetric pause not needed during Auto-Negotiation.

Disabled – The Media converter will advertise that it does not have Pause capability during Auto-Negotiation.

Fiber Fault Alert The Fiber Fault Alert switch has meaning when Auto-Negotiation is disabled

Enabled (Default – Up)
When the 1000Base-X receiver is off the 1000Base-X transmitter is turned off. Periodically the 1000Base-X receiver will be turned on for a short period to allow the condition to clear if the 1000Base-X link partner is using a similar feature.

Disabled (Down)

Duplex Full (Default-Up) – The media converter will advertise Full Duplex Capable, Half Duplex Capable.

AUTO (Down) -The Media converter will advertise Full Duplex Not Capable, Half Duplex Capable.

Remote Loopback The media converter can perform a loopback on the 1000Base-X fiber interface.

Disabled (Default – Up)
Enabled – The 1000Base-X receiver is looped to the 1000Base-X transmitter. The 1000Base-T transmitter is taken off the interface.

Ethernet Fiber Enterprise Chassis Diagram
Single Mode / Single Fiber

Connect copper ports over a single fiber strand ( also referred to as “Bi-Directional” BiDi )
When Single Strand fiber is used, a pair of Single Fiber Media Converters is needed for the copper to fiber conversion. Perle Single Fiber Media Converters are also referred to as “Up/Down” models. For example the C-1000-S1SC10U (“Up”) and C-1000-S1SC10D (“Down”), shown below, must be used in pairs. An “Up” must be matched with a “Down” peer to deal with transmit and receive frequencies separately.

Single Mode Fiber DiagramC-1000-S1SC10UC-1000-S1SC10D

The majority of installations for single mode fiber media converters are of the “dual connector” or “dual fiber” type where one fiber connection is used for transmit, the other for receive. These are physically “crossed” to match up the Transmit/Receive links.

However, to reduce costs, or where there are limits on available fiber, WDM technology may be utilized. WDM uses separate transmit and receive frequencies to communicate on a single fiber strand. WDM technology relies on the fact that optical fibers can carry many wavelengths of light simultaneously without interaction between each wavelength. Thus, a single fiber can carry many separate wavelength signals or channels simultaneously.

So remember, if Single Strand fiber is used, you will need an “Up” Media Converter on one side and a “Down” Media Converter on the other for copper to fiber conversion.

Perle offers a wide variety of Single Fiber (“Up/Down”) Media Converters to connect 10BaseT, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit to single fiber. Whether you need Managed or Unmanaged, Standalone or Modular Chassis Based, 20km or 120km, Perle has the right model to meet your fiber conversion requirement.
