S-10GR-STS Media Converters
1G to 10G Fiber and Rate Converters
- Fiber to Fiber, copper to fiber and copper to copper conversion
- Conduct 1G to 10G rate conversion
- 2 empty slots that use a variety of transceivers supplied by Perle, Cisco or other MSA compliant SFPs
- Advanced features: Cut-Through Forwarding, Smart Link Pass-Through, Fiber Fault Alert, Built-in Link Test Generator and Loopback
- Support for Power Level 1 and 2
- Optical signal regeneration: 3R (re-amplify, reshape, and retime)
The Perle S-10GR-STS Media Converter transparently connects 1G and 10G Ethernet links over multimode or single mode fiber. Each Media Converter comes with two pluggable transceiver ports that support fiber to fiber, copper to fiber or copper to copper media conversion.
The S-10GR-STS Media Converter 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, transceivers.
The two empty transceiver ports on the S-10GR-STS Media Converters allow for flexible network configurations to meet any requirement using a variety of transceivers supplied by Perle, Cisco or other manufacturers of MSA compliant SFPs. You can use the S-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 S-10GR-STS Media Converter 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. 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 the Perle S-10GR-STS Media Converter the smart choice for IT professionals. If you need a Media Converter that can operate in a managed environment with AAA security, check out the SMI-10GR-STS.
S-10GR-STS 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 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 |
|
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 the SFP slot 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. |
Power Strain Relief strap | A strain relief strap is provided to ensure a solid and secure power connection to the media converter. Ideal for areas that may be exposed to any vibration. |
Remote Loopback | Capable of performing a loopback on the 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. |

Indicators
Power / TST
- On: Power indication and in normal operation
- Blinking slowly: the unit is in loopback or test mode (either port)
- Red solid: the unit has a hardware error (upon power up)
- Red and blinking: the unit has a hardware error specified by combination of LK1 and LK2
LK1, LK2
- On: Fiber link present
- Blinking quickly: Fiber link present and receiving data.(including test data)
- Blinking slowly: Fiber link disabled because the other fiber link went down.
- Blinking 1 sec on 3 sec off – module shut down due to high temperature.
- Off: No fiber link present or no module inserted
Switches - accessible through a side opening in the chassis
Smart Link Pass-Through
Enabled (Default - Up)
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
Enabled (Default - Up)
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.
Cut-through / Rate converting
Rate Converting (Default - Up)
The Media Converter can automatically detect Ethernet port speed and do a rate conversion between the two ports if the Ethernet speed is different.
When the same Ethernet speed for both ports is enabled, the 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
Fiber Interface Loopback
Disable (Default - Up)
When enable, the media converter will be in fiber loopback mode. In this mode all frames received on the fiber port will be transmitted back. This provides users with the capability of utilizing their own in-house test generators for testing the link
Loopback Interface
Port 1 (Default - Up)
In this mode, all frames received on the fiber port 1 in loopback mode will be transmitted back. When switch is set down, port 2 will be in loopback mode and transmitting all frames received back.
