Overview

This document contains instructions necessary for the installation and operation of the Perle Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter Module(s) that are used in conjunction with a Perle MCR chassis. The C-1000 are unmanaged media converter modules, and the CM-1000 are the managed versions. This product converts a 1000Base-TX cable connection (copper) to a 1000Base-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-1000 module, refer to the MCR-MGT Module User’s Guide.
