Perle’s advanced features such as Auto-Negotiation,
Auto-MDIX, Link Pass-Through, Fiber Fault Alert, and Loopback.
These cost and time saving features, along with a lifetime warranty and free worldwide technical support, make Perle’s 10/100/1000 Media Converter Modules the smart choice for IT professionals.

10/100/1000 Rate Converting to Fiber Media Converter Features

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 (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 Auto-MDIX (automatic medium-dependant interface crossover) detects the signaling on the copper ethernet 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 120ns 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 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.
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 802.3xy) 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.
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.

Switches: On-Board
Auto-Negotiation (802.3u) Enabled (Default) – The media converter uses 802.3u Auto-negotiation on the 10/100/1000Base-T interface. It is set to advertise full duplex, half duplex, pause and remote fault capabilities.

Disabled – The media converter sets the port according to the position of the speed and duplex switches.

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 copper 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 copper 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 copper 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 copper transmitter will be turned off. When the copper receiver is off the 1000Base-X transmitter will be turned off. When the 1000Base-X receiver goes off the copper transmitter will be turned off.

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

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)

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 copper transmitter is taken off the interface.

Auto-MDIX (Strap) If Auto-Negotiation (802.3u) is enabled, the media converter determines the current cable pinout to use on the copper interface. If Auto-Negotiation (802.3u) is disabled the Media converter will use the RX Energy method on the copper interface to set the port MDI or MDIX whichever is appropriate.

Enabled (Default) – Either a straight-through or crossover type cable can be used to connect the media converter to the device on the other end of the cable.

Disabled – If the partner device on the other end of the cable does not have the Auto-MDIX feature a specific cable, either a straight-through or crossover will be required to ensure that the media converter’s transmitter and the partner devices transmitter are connected to the others receiver. The Media converter’s 100Base-TX port is configured as MDI-X with this switch setting.

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-1110-S1SC10 U (“Up”) and C-1110-S1SC10 D (“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-1110-S1SC10UC-1110-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.
