Installed in a high density MCR1900 Media Converter Chassis, Perle CM-10G Media Converter Modules
transparently connect 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over multimode or
single mode fiber. Each 10GbE Media Converter comes with two pluggable
transceiver ports that support fiber to fiber, copper to fiber or copper
to copper media conversion. These media converters can be used in an
unmanaged environment or can be SNMP manageable to enable complete
control and status viewing of your fiber links.
Fiber to Fiber and Copper to Fiber
conversion is achieved by inserting XFP or SFP+ fiber transceivers that
support multimode and single-mode fiber, including CWDM/DWDM
wavelengths. Copper to copper is achieved by inserting SFP+ Direct
Attach Cable (DAC), also known as twinax, or XFP 10Gbase-CX4
transceivers.
The empty transceiver ports on the CM-10G Media Converter Modules allow for flexible network configurations to meet any requirement using a variety of 10G transceivers supplied by Perle, Cisco or other manufacturers of MSA compliant SFP+ and XFPs. You can use these products to convert:
- SFP+ to SFP+
- XFP to XFP
- XFP to SFP+
- SFP to SFP ( 1000Base-x to 1000Base-x )
- SFP+ to CX4
Perle 10 Gigabit Ethernet to Fiber
Converters provide an economical path to extend the distance of an
existing 10GbE link. Network Administrators can “see-everything” with
Perle’s advanced features such as Smart Link Pass-Through, Fiber Fault
Alert, a built-in Link Test capability and Loopback. Along with a Media Converter Management Module
in the chassis, configuration and monitoring of the copper and fiber
ports can be performed. 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 CM-10G Managed Media Converter Modules the smart choice for IT professionals.
For those environments requiring a medium
to large-scale deployment of media converters, a centralized platform
that simplifies the configuration, administration, monitoring, and
troubleshooting of Perle Managed Media Converters is recommended. PerleVIEW Device Management software is a multi-user, Windows server-based application that delivers this level of Enterprise-grade solution.
