Perle CM-10GT media converter modules transparently connect 10GBase-T Ethernet links over multimode or single mode fiber. Each 10GbE media converter comes with one RJ45 10GBase-T port and an empty slot for one SFP+ or XFP module. The media converter can be used in an unmanaged environment or can be SNMP manageable to enable complete control and status viewing of your fiber links. 10GBASE-T media converter modules are also available for unmanaged networks, or for low to mid-density application check out the stand alone SMI-10GT managed media converter.
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 port on the CM-10GT 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.
Perle 10 Gigabit Ethernet to fiber converters provides 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. 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. The cost and time saving features make CM-10GT 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.
