with the copper link partner. The parameters used by the media converter will be determined by the Copper Speed (Bank 2 - switch 1) and Duplex Copper (Bank 2 - switch 2) DIP switch settings. Pause receive and send will be disabled.

Link Pass-Through Mode: In this mode, the link state on one connection is directly reflected through the media converter to the other connection. If link is lost on one of the connections, then the other link will be brought down by the media converter.

If the installation has a media converter on both ends of the fiber link and both are set-up for Link Pass-Through, then a loss of copper link on the far end device will propagate through both media converters and will result in a loss of link at the near end device.

Standard Mode: In this mode, links on the fiber and copper sides can be brought up and down independently of each other. A loss of link on either the fiber or copper port can occur without affecting the other connection.

(A)– Remote Media Converter setup for Far End Fault Enabled, Auto-negotiation – OFF and Link Mode – Standard.

(B)– Local Media Converter setup for Far End Fault enabled, Link Pass-Through On and Auto-negotiation - OFF

1.(A) Loses fiber connection on its receiver.

2.(A) Sends FEF.

3.(B) Detects FEF signal and shuts down the fiber link.

The S-110PP is built to withstand harsh environmental conditions, featuring an industrial-grade design that is tested for reliability and durability.

The S-110P-SFP model introduces flexibility with its SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) slot, which allows users to customize their connection types by accommodating different SFP transceivers. This feature enables seamless integration into varying network environments, whether requiring fiber or copper connections. The S-110P-SFP also supports a wide range of data rates, making it suitable for high-speed applications.

On the other hand, the S-110P offers an excellent blend of performance and functionality with its compact design. This model is primarily focused on simple and effective media conversion, ensuring reliable data transmission between different media types, such as twisted pair and fiber optics. The S-110P is ideal for users looking to extend their network over long distances while maintaining high performance.

Lastly, the S-110PP-SFP combines the advantages of the previous models, providing both Power over Ethernet capabilities and the versatility of SFP slots. This hybrid approach not only enhances deployment options but also optimizes the use of existing network infrastructure. The S-110PP-SFP caters to businesses looking to modernize their networks with both power and connectivity solutions in a single, convenient package.

In summary, Perle Systems' S-110 series—comprising S-110PP, S-110P-SFP, S-110P, and S-110PP-SFP—offers a comprehensive suite of features. These devices are built for reliability, flexibility, and exceptional performance, addressing the diverse needs of modern network infrastructures. Whether extending network reach, powering devices, or accommodating varied connection types, the S-110 series is an excellent choice for networking professionals.
