Perle C/CM-10GT Media Modules Installation Guide
2
Overview
This document contains instructions necessary for the installation
and operation of the Perle C/CM-10GT Media Converter modules.
These models are used in conjunction with a Perle Media
Converter chassis. Each module contains one pluggable
transceiver port that permits insertion of a SFP+ or a XFP fiber
module and one integrated RJ-45 (copper) port. These media
converter modules can use either Perle Systems or third party
MSA compatible 10G XFP or SFP+ modules including support for
the following standards: 10GBase-SR, 10GBase-LR, 10GBase-
ER, 10GBase-LRM and 10GBase-ZR. The C/CM-10GT-SPF
supports one low power transceiver (SFP+), whereas the C/CM-
10GT- XFPH supports one high power transceiver (XFP) (up to
power level 4). These modules take two slots within a Perle Media
Converter chassis
The C model modules are the unmanaged modules and the CM
models are the managed modules. For information on the
management options of the CM modules refer to the Perle MCR-
MGT User’s Guide that came with your Perle Management
Module. All combination of modules within the chassis cannot
exceed the chassis power input consumption. The full power
consumption for Perle Media Converter chassis can be found on
the Perle website.
Note: The C/CM-10GT-SFP media converter module can operate
as a 1G media converter module if a 1G fiber transceiver has been
inserted into the SFP+ transceiver port.
