Overview

This document contains instructions necessary for the installation and operation of the Perle Fast Ethernet Media Converter Module(s) (C-100 and CM-100) that are used in conjunction with a Perle MCR Chassis. The C-100 are unmanaged media converter modules, and the CM-100 are the managed versions. These products convert a 100Base-T cable connection (copper) to a 100Base-X connection (fiber). The fiber connection can be either single mode (SM) or multimode (MM) and can operate over different wavelengths and distances, depending on the model selected (see table below). For information on the management options of the CM-100 module, refer to the MCR-MGT Module User’s Guide.
