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.

Switches |
Smart Link Pass-Through |
When the Smart Link Pass-Through switch is enabled
(default), each port will reflect the state of its port peer. In this
mode, if a link loss is detected on one port, the transmit signal on the
other port is disabled “passing through” the state of the failed link.
This enables managed switches and other devices to report link failures
to their network NMS.
When the switch is in the down position, Smart Link Pass-Through
is disabled. If a link loss is detected on one port, the transmit
signal remains enabled on the other port. |
Fiber Fault Alert |
Enabled (Default - Up)
With Fiber Fault Alert the state of the 10 Gigabit ethernet
receiver is passed to the transmitter. This provides fault notification
to the partner device attached to the 10G ethernet interface of the
media converter
Disabled (Down) |
EDC Mode |
Electronic Dispersion Compensation (EDC) is an
algorithmic method used to compensate for optical dispersion that occurs
on high speed 10 Gigabit links. EDC mode settings are automatically
configured by the media converter based on the information retrieved
from the SFP+ or XFP module. This will enable proper operation for
extended multimode 10GBase-LRM as well as active or passive copper
cabling.
In the default UP switch position the media converter will
automatically set the 10G transceiver to match the EDC type declared by
the SFP+ / XFP module to either to “linear” or “limiting”.
In the event that there is a mismatch, setting the switch to the
Down position on the media converter will flip the setting to that
declared by the module. |
Loopback |
Capable of performing a loopback on each 10
Gigabit interface. In this mode, all frames received on the port in
loopback mode will be transmitted back. This provides users with the
capability of utilizing their own in-house test generators for testing
the link. |

Features
Smart Link Pass-Through |
When the Smart Link Pass-Through
switch is enabled (default), each port will reflect the state of its
port peer. In this mode, if a link loss is detected on one port, the
transmit signal on the other port is disabled “passing through” the
state of the failed link. This enables managed switches and other
devices to report link failures to their network NMS.
When the switch is in the down
position, Smart Link Pass-Through is disabled. If a link loss is
detected on one port, the transmit signal remains enabled on the other
port. |
Fiber Fault Alert |
With Fiber Fault Alert the state of
the 10 Gigabit Ethernet receiver is passed to the transmitter. This
provides fault notification to the partner device attached to the 10G
Ethernet interface of the media converter. |
3R – Optical Signal Regeneration |
Optical signal regeneration: 3R ( Re-amplify, Reshape, and Retime the signal ) ensures that there is a quality link at 10 Gigabit speeds. |
Built-in Link Test |
When enabled, the built-in packet
generator transmits Ethernet test frames to its 10 Gigabit Ethernet
peer. The remote media converter will auto-detect the test frames and
loopback the test frames. Any frames received in error, will cause the
Power, LK1 and LK2 LEDs to illuminate in a specific combination to
identify the error. During the test different bit test patterns will be
utilized every 5 seconds ensuring a thorough link test. |
Test Mode Auto-detect |
When enabled through the management
interface, the remote media converter will enter test mode automatically
when requested by its central site peer. This virtually eliminates
unnecessary truck rolls to a remote site when diagnosing a link failure. |
EDC Mode Control |
Electronic Dispersion Compensation
(EDC) is an algorithmic method used to compensate for optical dispersion
that occurs on high speed 10 Gigabit links. EDC mode settings are
automatically configured by the media converter based on the information
retrieved from the SFP+ or XFP module. This will enable proper
operation for extended multimode 10GBase-LRM as well as active or
passive copper cabling. |
Module Temperature Protection |
Protects your DOM/DMI capable SFP+
or XFP module by monitoring its internal temperature and will
automatically shut down the XFP or SFP if the module is operating above
its maximum temperature threshold. |
High Power Level 4 XFPs |
High powered Level 4 XFPs are supported in XTSH and XTXH models. |
Gigabit SFP support |
The 10 Gigabit media converter model
with dual SFP+ slots can also support Gigabit (1000Base-X) SFPs. This
allows users to use Gigabit SFPs today and migrate to 10G SFP+ in the
future. Both slots must be populated with Gigabit SFPs. |
Jumbo Packets |
Transparent to jumbo packets. |
VLAN |
Transparent to VLAN tagged packets. |
Remote Loopback |
Capable of performing a loopback on
each 10 Gigabit interface. In this mode, all frames received on the port
in loopback mode will be transmitted back. This provides users with the
capability of utilizing their own in-house test generators for testing
the link. |
