Perle Systems Complete Guide to Perle TV Converter Boxes: Installation and Operation for Models C-1000MM and CM-1000MM

Overview

This document contains instructions necessary for the installation and operation of the Perle Gigabit Fiber to Fiber Media Converter Module(s) that are used in conjunction with a Perle MCR chassis. The C-1000MM media converters are unmanaged modules, and the CM-1000MM are the managed converter modules. These products allow dissimilar 1000Base-X fiber interfaces to connect to one another. For information on the management options of the CM-1000MM module, refer to the MCR-MGT Module User’s Guide.

These are the fiber to fiber conversion models:

∙Multimode to Multimode (MM)

∙Multimode to Single Mode (SM)

∙Multimode to Single Mode Single Strand (MM)

The first fiber port will be multimode (MM) and the second fiber port can be either single mode (SM) or multimode (MM) depending on the model selected. They can operate over different wavelengths and distances. (See tables below).

Fiber port 1 – MM1
