The Perle S-10GR-STS Media Converter transparently connects 1G and 10G Ethernet links over multimode or single mode fiber. Each Media Converter comes with two pluggable transceiver ports that support fiber to fiber, copper to fiber or copper to copper media conversion.
The S-10GR-STS Media Converter supports key features for ultimate network flexibility and growth.
- 1G and 10G rate conversion can be enabled to automatically detect Ethernet port speed and do a rate conversion between the two ports if the Ethernet speed is different. This is ideal in scenarios where disparate networks need to be connected.
- Cut-Through Forwarding can be configured for environments where throughput speed is critical. This will increase the media converter’s throughput and reduce latency by performing packet forwarding in the most efficient manner possible.
Fiber to Fiber and Copper to Fiber conversion is achieved by inserting SFP or SFP+ fiber transceivers that support multimode and single-mode fiber, including CWDM/DWDM wavelengths. Copper to copper is achieved by inserting SFP or SFP+ Direct Attach Cable (DAC), also known as twinax, transceivers.
The two empty transceiver ports on the S-10GR-STS Media Converters allow for flexible network configurations to meet any requirement using a variety of transceivers supplied by Perle, Cisco or other manufacturers of MSA compliant SFPs. You can use the S-10GR-STS to convert:
Copper to Fiber Conversion (1G and 10G)
- 1G Copper SFP to 1G Fiber SFP
- 1G Copper SFP/SFP+ to 10G Fiber SFP+
Fiber to Fiber Conversion (1G and 10G)
- 1G Fiber SFP to 1G Fiber SFP
- 1G Fiber SFP to 10G Fiber SFP+
- 10G Fiber SFP+ to 10G Fiber SFP+
Copper to Copper Conversion (1G and SGMII)
- 1G Copper SFP to 1G Copper SFP
The Perle S-10GR-STS Media Converter provides an economical path to extend Ethernet data transmission distances or convert network speeds. Network Administrators can “see-everything” with Perle’s advanced features such as Smart 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 the Perle S-10GR-STS Media Converter the smart choice for IT professionals.
