Perle CM-10GR-STS Managed Media Converter Modules

Installed in a high density MCR1900 Media Converter Chassis, Perle CM-10GR-STS Managed Media Converter Module transparently connects 1G and 10G Ethernet links over multimode or single mode fiber. Each 10GbE Media Converter comes with two pluggable transceiver ports that support fiber to fiber, copper to fiber or copper to copper media conversion. These media converters can be used in an unmanaged environment or can be SNMP manageable to enable complete control and status viewing of your fiber links. 10G Media Converter Modules are also available for unmanaged networks, or for low to mid-density application check out the stand alone SMI-10G Managed Media Converter.

The CM-10GR-STS Managed Media Converter Modules supports key features for ultimate network flexibility and growth.

• 1G and 10G rate conversion can be enabled to automatically detect Ethernet port speed and do a rate conversion between the two ports if the Ethernet speed is different. This is ideal in scenarios where disparate networks need to be connected.
• Cut-Through Forwarding can be configured for environments where throughput speed is critical. This will increase the media converter’s throughput and reduce latency by performing packet forwarding in the most efficient manner possible.

Fiber to Fiber and Copper to Fiber conversion is achieved by inserting SFP or SFP+ fiber transceivers that support multimode and single-mode fiber, including CWDM/DWDM wavelengths. Copper to copper is achieved by inserting SFP or SFP+ Direct Attach Cable (DAC), also known as twinax, or XFP 10Gbase-CX4 transceivers.

The two empty transceiver ports on the CM-10GR-STS Managed Media Converters Modules allow for flexible network configurations to meet any requirement using a variety of transceivers supplied by Perle, Cisco or other manufacturers of MSA compliant SFP. You can use the CM-10GR-STS to convert:

Copper to Fiber Conversion (1G and 10G)

• 1G Copper SFP to 1G Fiber SFP
• 1G Copper SFP/SFP+ to 10G Fiber SFP+

Fiber to Fiber Conversion (1G and 10G)

• 1G Fiber SFP to 1G Fiber SFP
• 1G Fiber SFP to 10G Fiber SFP+
• 10G Fiber SFP+ to 10G Fiber SFP+

Copper to Copper Conversion (1G and SGMII)

• 1G Copper SFP to 1G Copper SFP

The Perle CM-10GR-STS Media Converter Modules provides an economical path to extend Ethernet data transmission distances or convert network speeds. Network Administrators can “see-everything” with Perle’s advanced features such as Smart Link Pass-Through, Fiber Fault Alert, and Loopback. 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. These cost and time saving features, along with a lifetime warranty and free worldwide technical support, make CM-10GR-STS Managed 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. PerleVIEW Device Management software is a multi-user, Windows server-based application that delivers this level of Enterprise-grade solution.

CM-10GR-STS Managed Media Converter Features

Rate Conversion	The Media Converter can automatically detect Ethernet port speed and do a rate conversion between the two ports if the Ethernet speed is different.
Cut-Through Forwarding	When the same Ethernet speed for both ports is enabled, the CM-10GR Media Converter can be configured for Cut-Through Forwarding. This will increase the media converter’s throughput and reduce latency by performing packet forwarding in the most efficient manner possible. Forwarding of a packet will begin as soon as the destination address is processed.
SFP Speed Sensing	Automatically detects whether a SFP has been inserted and adjusts the speed accordingly
SGMII Interface Support	The Media Converter supports 1000Mbps SGMII SFPs on port 1.
Smart Link Pass-Through	When the Smart Link Pass-Through switch is enabled (default), each port will reflect the state of its port peer. In this mode, if a link loss is detected on one port, the transmit signal on the other port is disabled “passing through” the state of the failed link. This enables managed switches and other devices to report link failures to their network NMS. When the switch is in the down position, Smart Link Pass-Through is disabled. If a link loss is detected on one port, the transmit signal remains enabled on the other port.
Fiber Fault Alert	With Fiber Fault Alert the state of the 10 Gigabit Ethernet receiver is passed to the transmitter. This provides fault notification to the partner device attached to the 10G Ethernet interface of the media converter.
3R – Optical Signal Regeneration	Optical signal regeneration: 3R ( Re-amplify, Reshape, and Retime the signal ) ensures that there is a quality link at 10 Gigabit speeds.
Module Temperature Protection	Protects your DOM/DMI capable SFP or SFP+ module by monitoring its internal temperature and will automatically shut down the SFP or SFP+ if the module is operating above its maximum temperature threshold.
Gigabit SFP support	The 10 Gigabit media converter model with dual SFP+ slots can also support Gigabit (1000Base-X) SFPs. This allows users to use Gigabit SFPs today and migrate to 10G SFP+ in the future. Both slots must be populated with Gigabit SFPs.
Jumbo Packets	Transparent to Jumbo Frames with a maximum MTU size of 10,024 bytes
VLAN	Transparent to VLAN tagged packets
Remote Loopback	Capable of performing a loopback on each 10 Gigabit interface. In this mode, all frames received on the port in loopback mode will be transmitted back. This provides users with the capability of utilizing their own in-house test generators for testing the link.
